MAKE A HAND. BUILD AN ENGINE. BREAK THE MATH. Step into the Night Parade: a number-card roguelite where simple hands become outrageous scoring machines. Draw 8 cards, play up to 5, and turn familiar sets and runs - plus Sum to Ten, Spectrum, and Pure Run - into chips x mult. Then draft relics, tune your deck, and survive eight escalating rounds. EASY TO READ. DEEP TO MASTER. • See your score before you commit a hand • Keep the complete hand table one tap away • Read every suit by color, symbol, and name • Spot overlapping hands and score the strongest pattern BUILD SOMETHING BROKEN • Discover 22 relics across common, uncommon, and rare tiers • Combine relic effects into powerful scoring engines • Add, enhance, or remove cards in The Exchange • Upgrade cards with foil, holo, and gild enhancements • Bank coins between rounds to earn interest - or spend them chasing the perfect build THE RULES CHANGE AS YOU CLIMB Every run climbs through eight named rounds. From the third, each round bends a rule: fewer swaps, a smaller hand, halved coins, or junk hands worth nothing. Beat The Auditor at Round 8 to win. Your run saves after every action, so you can leave and continue exactly where you stopped. ONE SHARED DAILY Everyone gets the same seeded run each day: the same deal, the same rule changes, and the same Exchange. You get one ranked attempt, then you can compare your result on the global leaderboard. The Daily is free for everyone. THE MARATHON (PRO) Pro adds a separate board on the same daily deck. Carry it past Round 8 in Infinite Mode as often as you like: every run counts and your best run ranks. The Daily itself stays one ranked attempt for everyone. KEEP MAKING PROGRESS • Complete 13 milestones • Discover every hand and relic • Track personal records and your strongest builds • Change the full table with unlockable themes • Share polished result cards with friends FREE TO PLAY Play the ranked Daily every day, start five introductory casual runs, then receive three casual starts each day. Free players get the complete eight-round game and the full core relic pool. There are no ads. GO PRO Unlock unlimited casual runs, continue winning builds into Infinite Mode, expand from five to eight relic slots after Round 8, play today's deck on the Marathon Pro board, where unlimited attempts count and your best run past Round 8 ranks, keep the Ledger of lifetime records and your last 30 runs, and equip every premium table theme.

About

Logic Loom

Features
Read full description

Logic Loom is a calm collection of grid logic puzzles — Shikaku, Aquarium and Thermometers — designed like a fine paper notebook, not a noisy arcade. EVERY PUZZLE IS FAIR Each of the 600 hand-graded puzzles has exactly one solution and never needs guessing. If a puzzle would require trial-and-error, it does not ship. Difficulty is graded by a solver, by the actual reasoning techniques you need — from easy to expert. HINTS THAT TEACH Stuck? A hint does not reveal a random cell. It shows the next logical step and explains why it must be true, so every hint makes you a sharper solver. THREE PUZZLES, ONE CRAFT • Shikaku — divide the grid into rectangles, each matching its number for area • Aquarium — fill tanks so water settles level, from the bottom up • Thermometers — fill thermometers from the bulb to match the row and column counts A QUIET DAILY HABIT A new puzzle every day, streaks to keep, a calendar archive of past days, and detailed statistics for every type and difficulty. DESIGNED TO BE CALM Warm paper tones, a single accent colour, gentle haptics, optional sound, light and dark themes. No banner ads. No pop-ups. No timers unless you want them. • Interactive tutorials teach each puzzle by playing, not reading • Unlimited undo and redo • Mistake display: off, conflicts only, or instant — your choice • Cloud backup and sync, no account needed • English and Turkish FREEMIUM, DONE QUIETLY Easy puzzles are fully open. As things get harder, you get a taste before a single one-time purchase unlocks everything — no subscription. The only ads are optional rewarded videos you can watch for an extra hint, never a banner and never between puzzles.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sumward at none against Logic Loom's shown. Logic Loom's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
