Two puzzle games in one calm, minimal package. Rotate pipes until every line connects, or trace a single unbroken path through every dot. No timers, no lives, no ads — just you and the next satisfying click. CLASSIC — CONNECT THE PIPES Tap a tile to rotate it, and link every circle to its square. Straights, corners, T-junctions and long diagonal runs weave through each other in ways that look impossible right up until the last piece turns and the whole board lights up. 700 levels, starting gentle and growing into genuinely tricky networks. DRAW — ONE LINE, EVERY DOT Begin at 1, finish on the last number, and cover every cell on the board in one continuous stroke. Obstacles block your way. The numbers must be reached in order. Take a wrong turn and the path won't close — but you can always trace back and find another route. 30 levels of pure path-finding. WHY YOU'LL STAY • No timers, no lives, no failing — think for as long as you like • Unlimited hints for when a board simply won't budge • Plays fully offline, anywhere, no account needed • Minimal line art in a warm, dark palette that's easy on the eyes • Your progress saves automatically, level by level ONE PURCHASE, PLAY FOREVER Everything is free for your first 3 days.

Germ Squad is a capsule-popping puzzle game with a twist: your capsules FLOAT. Launch two-tone capsules up into the petri dish, line up three or more of a color, and pop every germ before your supply runs out. FLOAT, STEER, POP — Drag to steer, tap to rotate, flick up to launch. Capsules rise instead of fall, and loose halves drift upward, so you plan your chains from the top down. 40 SECTORS, 8 WORLDS — From Meadow Dish to Deep Lab. Ice, bubbles, crates, fins, and poppers keep every board fresh. Earn up to three stars per sector. SIX SPECIALISTS — Recruit Dr. Pip, Dr. Frost, Dr. Ray, Dr. Volt, Dr. Lux, and Dr. Brick. Popping germs charges their skill: a 3x3 blast, an ice-shattering flash, prism capsules, and more. DAILY CHALLENGE — One fresh dish every day, the same board for everyone. Build a streak and earn bonus coins. BOOSTERS AND ENDLESS MODE — Spend coins on pre-stage boosters, then test your stamina in Endless mode with rising waves. • Free to play, with optional ads and purchases • Remove ads forever with a single purchase • Works offline — no account, no sign-up required • Original music and art, made for quick sessions Clear the colony. Save the dish. Join the Germ Squad!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Loopsy at none against Germ Squad's shown. Loopsy also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). Germ Squad's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Loopsy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Germ Squad sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Loopsy against 5.0 for Germ Squad. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loopsy has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
