About

HamiLoop

Read full description

HamiLoop: Draw one loop. Pass through every square on the grid exactly once. That's the whole idea behind HamiLoop, and it's harder than it sounds. What looks like a simple rule turns into a real puzzle once the grid grows, and figuring out the right path can take real thought. Grid sizes vary a lot, so difficulty varies with them. Some puzzles are solved in a couple of moments, others take much longer and require some careful planning. With 150,000 preloaded levels, you can pick a size and difficulty that suits your mood, and a new difficult puzzle is added every day if you're after something tougher. There are no timers and no countdowns anywhere in the app, so every puzzle can be worked through at your own pace. Each puzzle is presented with clean, colorful visuals, though the colors are purely decorative and don't affect the solving itself. If you like tackling more than one thing at a time, you can keep several levels open in parallel, so an easier puzzle is always there when you want a break from a harder one. Alongside the daily challenge, an extra hard puzzle is released once a week for players looking for something tougher still. The core idea of the game is inspired by Hamiltonian cycles, a well known concept from graph theory, giving the puzzle a solid mathematical foundation beneath its simple rule.

Don't Break It!

Features
Read full description

React fast. Trust nothing. One mistake ends everything. Don’t Break IT! is a pure reflex game with a single rule that refuses to sit still. A shape flashes in the centre — TAP it, swipe it LEFT, or swipe it RIGHT before the timer empties. Nail it and your streak climbs. Miss it, or freeze for a split second, and it shatters. Just when your thumb learns the pattern, the game rewires it: • 50 — TRUST THE COLOUR. Forget the shape. The colour decides the move. • 100 — READ. DON'T LOOK. The word is the truth; the colour is lying to you. • …and it keeps escalating — Trust the Shape, Read the Ink, Mirror, then a shuffled Gauntlet — faster and meaner, all the way up. FEATURES • One-thumb controls: tap, swipe left, swipe right • A difficulty ladder that rewires your brain every 50 streak • Global & daily leaderboards via Game Center • 7 vivid colour themes • Continue tokens to rescue a heroic run • Crisp haptics, punchy sound, buttery 60 fps • Free to play, playable offline How high can you go before you break it?
