About

LOOPTRAP

Features
Read full description

Trap the glitches. Close the loop. You are the cursor. The system is infected. Your only weapon is the wire you spool behind you โ€” cross your own wire and everything inside the loop gets zapped. Easy to learn, hard to put down: โ€ข One-finger controls โ€” drag to fly, your ship spools wire automatically, lift to recharge. โ€ข 10 glitch types that hunt you, shoot, split, cut your wire, teleport, drain your energy, and hide behind directional shields you have to loop from behind. โ€ข 4 bosses, each with their own tricks: the CORRUPTION NODE floods the arena with bullets, THE SEGMENTER dashes through your wire with giant shears, THE REPLICATOR spawns more glitches every time you wound it, and THE OVERSEER hides behind a rotating shield gap while it deploys reinforcements. โ€ข Three ways to play โ€” ENDLESS, a seeded DAILY challenge that gives the whole world the same waves, and BOSS RUSH: fight all four bosses back to back and purge the system. โ€ข 16 upgrade modules โ€” chain lightning, time dilation, shockwaves, bullet-eating wire, a phase-dodge, a wire shield, and a one-time failsafe reboot. Build a different run every time. โ€ข Permanent unlocks โ€” every point you ever score counts toward new starting gear. โ€ข Full accessibility suite โ€” reduce flashing (photosensitive-safe), a colourblind-friendly palette, high-contrast wire, and screen-shake and haptics toggles. โ€ข Tactile haptics and a synthesized soundtrack that layers up as the waves escalate. โ€ข No ads. No in-app purchases. No data collection. Plays fully offline. How long can you keep the loop closed?

A cat. A tiny starfighter. An endless field of trouble. StarPaw drops you into the cockpit alongside a very small, very determined cat as you weave through drifting asteroid fields, swing wide around planets and black holes, and keep an eye out for the occasional space pirate. One hand, two directions โ€” hold the top half of the screen to climb, the bottom half to dive. No momentum, no drift โ€” just you and your reflexes. Thread the gold gates. Scattered through the field are pairs of glowing gold orbs โ€” fly cleanly between them and you'll trigger a shield with double points for a few precious seconds. Miss the gap and you just keep flying; there's no penalty for trying. Unlock a growing wardrobe. As your score climbs, your ship and its pilot earn new looks pulled from mythology and history around the world โ€” from an early Egyptian-inspired paint job to a legendary form very few runs ever reach. Each unlock also grants a short breather in the action, so you can catch your breath before the field gets tougher. The pressure builds โ€” on purpose. Speed and size creep up together as you go, so early runs feel breezy and later stretches genuinely test you. Every run ends the same way: one direct hit. Everything else is fair game to graze. Features: One-hand, momentum-free controls built for quick sessions or long chases of a high score Ragged, hand-varied asteroid fields โ€” no two runs look alike Planets, black holes, and static space pirates to read and react to Gold gates: risk the gap for a temporary shield and double points 13 unlockable outfits spanning world mythology, with more only reachable by the very best runs Pause anytime, resume exactly where you left off, or restart in one tap Mute in-app music instantly if you'd rather play to your own playlist No account required.
