Cycloop

Every loop you close adds an instrument. CYCLOOP is a calm pipe puzzle with a lofi jazz heart. Tap tiles to rotate them and connect every pipe. Each part of the board you close brings another layer into the groove (drums, then bass, then melody) until the whole song plays and the board lights up as a picture. WHAT'S INSIDE โ€ข Music you build: every closed loop adds an instrument, and every connection plays a note in time with the beat. โ€ข 30 hand-drawn pictures: a heart, a cat, headphones, an anchorโ€ฆ every board reveals what it was. โ€ข Five more chapters: 150 puzzles, from mirrored loops to grand mandalas, each with exactly one solution. โ€ข An endless encore once you finish the song. โ€ข Your gallery: every solved board is kept as a neon picture. โ€ข No pressure: no timers, no lives, no penalties. Play offline at your own pace. โ€ข Hints when you get stuck, and Game Center leaderboards. Rotate. Connect. Listen.
