About

Cycloop

Features
Read full description

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 • Music you build: every closed loop adds an instrument, and every connection plays a note in time with the beat. • 30 hand-drawn pictures: a heart, a cat, headphones, an anchor… every board reveals what it was. • Five more chapters: 150 puzzles, from mirrored loops to grand mandalas, each with exactly one solution. • An endless encore once you finish the song. • Your gallery: every solved board is kept as a neon picture. • No pressure: no timers, no lives, no penalties. Play offline at your own pace. • Hints when you get stuck, and Game Center leaderboards. Rotate. Connect. Listen.

About

Animal Link

Features
Read full description

Find two tiles showing the same animal and tap them to connect. A valid line stays inside the board, passes only through empty spaces, and bends no more than twice. The pair then disappears and opens new space. Look across the board before choosing. Removing one pair can reveal a route for another, so each move changes what can connect next. Continue until the board is clear. If no pair can connect, the animals gently shuffle. A hint and restart are available when needed.
