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.

Sort the bots. Then do it in the right order. NANOBOT MATCH is a zen sort-puzzle with a twist. Tap a register, tap another, and the top run of matching bots flows across. Four of a color together and they upload in a burst of light. No clock, and no way to lose that undo can't fix. THE TWIST: THE PROGRAM Every level ships with a short program. Upload the colors in its order and each line fires something helpful on the board. Miss the order and the board stays winnable — but the perfect run slips away. Honor it start to finish for the star players chase long after they've learned to win: CLEAN COMPILE. MIND THE SPECIALS Wildcards slot into any run. Dark registers wake when their LOAD line commits. Glitched bots corrupt a stack until you purge them. Never more than a couple of twists per board. THOUSANDS OF LEVELS A hand-tuned ramp from a gentle two-color start to fiendish tangles, every single board verified solvable before it ships. Pick up right where you left off. ZEN BY DESIGN No timer, no lives, no streak to protect. Just you, the colors, and the quiet click of a register clearing. DESIGNED FOR ONE-HANDED PLAY Portrait only. Big tap targets. Handcrafted retro-neon art, a chiptune score, configurable SFX and haptics. FULLY OFFLINE No accounts, no servers, no sign-in. Play on a plane. Ads are non-personalized. REMOVE ADS One purchase, ads gone forever. No subscriptions, no shop. Made with care by Archivium Labs.
