About

Loopling

Features
Read full description

Loopling is a puzzle game where your teammate is you, ten seconds ago. Each level is a small grid with a strict move budget. Make your run count, then rewind: time scrubs back, you respawn at the start — and a translucent amber echo replays your recorded moves tick for tick alongside you. Echoes press plates, hold doors open, and collect shards, but they also block your path. The real puzzle is planning moves that help future-you instead of trapping him. HOW A LOOP WORKS • Swipe to step, tap to wait — every action is recorded. • Tap Rewind and an echo of you replays the run while you act again. • Up to three of you on the board at once. Stand on the exit with every shard collected to win. • On every win, watch the victory ballet: all your incarnations replay the solution together. THE DAILY ECHO One shared puzzle a day — the same grid for everyone in the world, refreshing at UTC midnight. Build a streak and share your solve as a spoiler-free emoji grid. The daily puzzle is free, forever. 60 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Five chapters, from gentle first steps to par-tight master loops. Every level is verified solvable, with three stars to chase: solve it, beat par, collect every shard. FREE AND PRO Chapters 1–2 (24 levels) and the daily puzzle are completely free. Loopling Pro is a single $3.99 purchase — no subscription — that unlocks chapters 3–5, the 30-day daily archive, and three extra color themes. One payment, yours forever. PREMIUM, QUIETLY No ads. No tracking. No account. Works offline. Your progress stays on your device, and purchases are processed by Apple. Rewind. Cooperate. Loop out. ---
