Read full descriptionHide full description
Drag colorful ropes, wrap them around spools, and clear the board! In this clever puzzle game, you control ropes on a grid and wrap them onto the correct spools. As spools are filled with matching colors, they disappear—while each level introduces a new layout and a fresh challenge. But it’s not as simple as it looks. Iced ropes, color-restricted spools, and a limited timer force you to plan every move carefully. One wrong drag can break your entire strategy! With simple controls, satisfying animations, and progressively challenging levels, the game offers a relaxing yet brain-teasing experience. Find the right order, manage your time wisely, and clear all the spools!

Lo Shu is a calm, satisfying number puzzle inspired by the ancient magic square of the River Luo. Place stones numbered 1 through 9 on a 3×3 board. Whenever three stones in a row, column, or diagonal add up to 15, that line returns to the river and clears from the board. Plan ahead, save one stone in the eddy for later, and keep the turtle shell from filling up. Features: • Simple 3×3 puzzle play with surprising depth • Clear lines by making 15 • Hold one stone for the right moment • Endless runs and a Daily River challenge • Optional guide glow for possible clears • Scores, records, combos, sound, and haptics • An atmospheric ink-and-river visual style Every line is the same river.
