Steal the gems. Reach the exit. And when one run isn’t enough, loop it. Loop Looters is a fast, one-thumb puzzle heist where your previous runs become echoes that replay every move.

PLAN THE PERFECT HEIST Learn each vault, record a run, then use your echo to solve what you couldn’t do alone. Every move matters. 250 VAULTS TO CRACK Work your way through 10 museum wings packed with escalating challenges, boss vaults and new mechanics. DODGE THE SECURITY Beat laser grids, guards, patrols, pressure plates, one-way gates, timed doors, keys, teleporters, cameras and EMP puzzles. CHASE THREE STARS Finish quickly and efficiently, replay cleared vaults and improve your score. DAILY HEIST Take on the same special vault as everyone else once per day and build your streak. LOOT, UNLOCK, CUSTOMIZE Collect gems, unlock looter skins, echo trails and vault styles, and complete achievements along the way. Designed for quick sessions with simple swipe or directional controls, satisfying sound and haptic feedback.

The world has fallen. You are the last hope for those knocking at your gates. Underground is a deep bunker-management sim where every decision echoes through your food, water, power — and your people's spirits. Build compartments across three floors, take in survivors at the airlock, keep your resources in balance, and don't let the bunker go dark. What's waiting for you: • A living bunker — 40+ compartment types: generator room, farm, med bay, laboratory, armory, district map, the old metro and more. Every room works differently and demands your attention. • Resources with consequences — power, water, food, air, parts, fuel. Run out of water and newcomers will walk right past your gates. Overheat the generator and an accident is only a matter of time. • People, not numbers — every resident has skills, health, stress and relationships. Quarrels, illness, theft, panic — incidents won't wait: you have limited time to solve a problem before it gets worse. • Arrivals at the gate — survivors keep coming to the airlock. Let them in, turn them away, or send them off with rations? Your bunker's reputation decides who shows up tomorrow. • Your own path — fortress, radio contact, autonomy, science, evacuation or a return to the surface. Goals will show you where to grow next. • The metro and recon — explore the tunnels, gather loot, trade with friends and fight off threats in the corridors. • Mini-games that matter — harvest crops, repair equipment, calm a panic: quick games earn resources and change how events end. • Friends in the game — add friends, meet their survivors at your gates, exchange resources and earn bonuses for playing together. • Play at your own pace — minimize the app and time in the bunker stops. Come back and pick up right where you left off. Who this game is for: If you love Fallout Shelter, This War of Mine, or management games with personality — this one is full of "what if I try it this way?" moments. Not a five-minute arcade, but a bunker that grows with you. Download. Open the airlock. Decide who gets in first.
