About

Loopling

Read full description

Loopling is a single-player puzzle game where your teammate is a recording of you. Each level is a small grid with a move budget for every loop. Play a run, then rewind: time goes back, you start over, and an amber echo replays your recorded moves, tick for tick, beside you. Echoes press plates, hold doors open and collect shards, but they also stand in your way. The puzzle is planning a run that helps the next one instead of trapping it. HOW A LOOP WORKS โ€ข Swipe on the board to step. The hourglass button waits one tick in place. Every action is recorded. โ€ข Tap Rewind and an echo of your last run replays it while you play again. โ€ข Some levels put up to three of you on the board at once. โ€ข Reach the exit to win. The golden shards are optional, but you need all of them for the third star. โ€ข After every win, watch the victory ballet: all your copies replay the solution together. THE DAILY ECHO A new puzzle every day, the same grid for everyone, changing at UTC midnight. It is built on your device from the date, so it needs no connection. Keep a streak, and share your result: the share sheet gets the date, your move count and an emoji map of your route. Today's daily puzzle is free. 60 LEVELS IN FIVE CHAPTERS First Steps, Echo Logic, Three of Me, Tight Corridors and Master Loops: twelve levels each, from gentle first loops to par-tight puzzles. Every level has a checked solution. Three stars to chase: solve it, finish within par, collect every shard. FREE AND PRO Chapters 1 and 2 (24 levels) and today's daily puzzle are free. Loopling Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It unlocks chapters 3 to 5 (36 more levels), the 30-day daily archive and three extra accent-color themes. Restore Purchases is in Settings. QUIET BY DESIGN No ads and no account. Your progress is stored on your device, and purchases go through the App Store. Levels and daily puzzles need no internet connection to play. Rewind. Cooperate. Loop out.
