One tap. One loop. How long can you last? Loop Dodge is an offline arcade game about riding an orbit and slipping past everything that wants to end your run. Tap to switch lanes. Skim a spike instead of dodging it wide, and your near misses chain into a score multiplier. SIMPLE TO PLAY, HARD TO PUT DOWN One control. No timers, no energy, no waiting. Every run is one more try. GO DEEPER Survive long enough and the run descends into deeper Spheres. The deep pays better: draft relics mid-run — powerful pacts, some of them cursed — duel the Wardens that guard each layer, and earn Souls from sheer depth. THE FORGE Spend Souls to attune a relic and seed it into your opening Pact, so it starts active on every run. MAKE IT YOURS 13 tracks, each paying a bigger gem multiplier — from Loop ×1 all the way to Prism ×20. 11 worlds. 59 ball skins and 15 trails. Or turn any photo on your phone into your ball. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY One ranked daily run — the exact same course for every player in the world. Beat 30 seconds to win the prize, and build a streak for bigger daily rewards. PLAYS ANYWHERE Fully playable offline. No account, no sign-in. Your progress is stored on your device. PLAYS IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Korean. Free to play, with optional in-app purchases and opt-in rewarded ads.

CRITTERCADE is a pocket-sized arcade cabinet with a new star every month. Hop forward across streets, bike lanes, and open water. Grab treats. Don't get flattened. See how far you get before the road wins. A NEW CRITTER EVERY MONTH The cabinet never changes. Who's in it does. July belongs to Jimothy, a Seattle raccoon with a short spine and a big heart, crossing a rainy downtown under the Space Needle. The archive holds Ada Lovelace, a long-haired grey cat running an old-town waterfront, and Drift, a nanobot loose inside a circuit board. Every critter brings a whole world with them: new skyline, new lanes, new scenery, new jokes. HOW IT PLAYS Swipe or tap to hop. Traffic doesn't brake for you. Water lanes want you to ride the logs. Get hit and you spend one of three bumps, get nudged back to safety, and keep going. Spend all three and the run is over. THE RAINBOW Treats come in four kinds. Collect one of every kind and the creeping edge behind you freezes for a breather, and a rainbow rises off your critter. Doubling back for the one type you're missing is a real decision — and treats spawn in live traffic on purpose. PARTY MODE For one minute of every hour, everywhere in the world at the same time, the whole game runs at double speed with confetti everywhere. The schedule isn't published. You either catch it or you don't. SECRETS ON THE HORIZON Every 40 meters unlocks something new on the skyline: a pink sky, a UFO, a sailboat, a bigfoot doing the backstroke. Pure decoration, and they show up on your share card. BUILT FOR SHORT SESSIONS Portrait. One thumb. A run is about ninety seconds. No accounts, no sign-in, no servers, nothing to log into. Play it on a plane. REMOVE ADS A single one-time purchase permanently removes interstitial ads. No subscriptions, no currency, no shop, nothing to grind. Made with care by Archivium Labs.
