Conveyor’s ready, pigs are on standby. Tap to send a pig onto the conveyor so it rains balls onto pixel cubes of its own color. The number above its head is its ammo: that’s how many hits it makes. Run out and it leaves the stage; if not, it slips into one of the 5 waiting slots and, when you tap again, it jumps back on the conveyor to fire another round. The conveyor has a capacity—push past the limit and you’ll need to wait. Send them in the right order, manage the flow, and hit the cubes to clear the board piece by piece. Simple mechanic, sticky loop: tap → flow → repeat. Highlights One-tap control: Quick sessions, easy one-handed play. Color matching: Pigs only hit their own color—no target-picking hassle. Conveyor capacity: Timing and queue management add a bite-size strategy layer. 5 waiting slots: Stack, sort, and launch at the perfect moment. Short but “one more round” feel: Perfect for micro-breaks. Satisfying pixel cleanup: Every hit leaves the board feeling crisp. For anyone who loves fast action-puzzles, timing, and flow management. The pigs are ready. The cubes… not so much.

Yarn Loop is a relaxing and satisfying puzzle game featuring colorful yarn bobbins and knitted patterns. Bobbins move onto the conveyor and collect stitches of their own color. Each bobbin has a capacity value that decreases as stitches are picked up. When its capacity reaches zero, the bobbin disappears. If capacity remains, the bobbin is transferred to the rack and can be used again later. Complete each knitted pattern by using the right bobbins in the right order. Game Features ► Simple One-Tap Gameplay: Bobbins move smoothly through the conveyor system and collect matching stitches with ease. ► Color-Based Collection Mechanic: Each bobbin clears only the stitches of its own color. ► Capacity Management System: Every bobbin has a limited pickup value, creating thoughtful and satisfying puzzle decisions. ► Rack Reuse Function: Bobbins that still have capacity return to the rack and remain available for later use. ► Hundreds of Engaging Levels: New knitted layouts, color combinations, and puzzle arrangements appear throughout progression. ► Cozy Yarn Aesthetic: Soft textures, warm colors, and pleasant animations create a calm and enjoyable experience. Yarn Loop offers a smooth, calm, and visually charming journey through handcrafted yarn puzzles.
