About

Loop Shift

Features
Read full description

Loop Shift is a clean, tactile logic puzzle built around one simple idea: rotate the marbles, move the central track, and separate the colors. Each level gives you two connected loops filled with red and white marbles. Rotate the active loop to position the right group of marbles inside the movable track, then shift that track to the other side. Every transfer matters. Easy to understand. Surprisingly hard to master. FEATURES • 150 logic puzzles across 3 level packs • Unique loop-and-shift puzzle mechanic • Smooth, satisfying marble movement • Transfer limits that reward efficient solutions • Smart hints that show the next useful move • Undo and restart whenever you need them • Best-transfer tracking for every level • Optional rewarded ads for extra transfers or hints • Lifetime Premium unlock • No account required • Play at your own pace PREMIUM Unlock all installed level packs immediately and remove forced/interstitial ads with a one-time Lifetime Premium purchase. Rewarded ads remain optional when you choose to earn an extra hint or additional transfers. A fresh alternative to classic ball sort and color sort games, Loop Shift turns a simple mechanical idea into a compact brain teaser you can return to anytime. Can you solve every loop?
