Close the loop. Loops is Slitherlink — the classic logic puzzle from Japan — built for iPhone and iPad with eight hand-made styles and an original soundtrack of calm music. No ads, no subscription: start free, unlock everything with one purchase. HOW IT WORKS Draw a single loop along the dotted grid. Each number tells you how many of its sides the loop uses. The loop never crosses itself and never branches. That’s the whole rulebook: every puzzle has exactly one solution, and you reach it by logic, not by guessing. NEW IN LOOPS • Pentagons — a fifth shape: 250 puzzles on the Cairo tiling, an irregular lattice that makes familiar patterns feel new. • Eight hand-made styles, each a world of its own with its own paper, ink, sounds and music — washi and vermilion, brush strokes on rice paper, sepia parchment, pure ink, newsprint with blue pencil, Czech folk indigo, sage atelier and carbon with gold. • An original soundtrack of 33 calm pieces — piano, koto, shakuhachi and temple bowls, and music written for each style, from lute and jazz piano to cimbalom and cello. Every style also draws with its own sound: a brush on rice paper, a quill on parchment, a pencil on newsprint, needle and thread on linen. • The Dojo — 14 interactive lessons, from your first zero to master-level reasoning. Watch the rule, then find the move yourself on a real board. • Ranks — climb from 10 kyu to 7 dan. Harder puzzles, clean solves and new shapes are worth more. • Hints that catch mistakes — if a line of yours is wrong, the hint shows you where before anything else. • Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen — today’s puzzle and your streak at a glance. WHAT’S INSIDE • 1,250 puzzles, each with exactly one solution, in five shapes — squares, hexagons, triangles, diamonds and pentagons — and five difficulties, from a five-minute warm-up to Master. • A new daily puzzle, with streaks that forgive one missed day, a gentle reminder and a daily leaderboard. • Draw by dragging. One finger is the pen; hold an edge or switch the pen to mark a cross. Pinch to zoom on the big boards. • Zen mode hides the clock and every button. Just you and the loop. • Your collection: every loop you close stays in the gallery, with badges for streaks, clean solves and Master levels. • Undo and redo, smart crosses, pen colors, sound and haptics, detailed statistics — and iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad.
