About

Carve Loop!

Features
Read full description

Turn simple wooden discs into a colorful chain reaction in a satisfying puzzle experience where every move matters. Press and hold the wooden discs at the top of the board to carve spiraling wooden shavings. Watch them travel through the grinder, transforming into vibrant colored balls before dropping onto a looping conveyor that continuously circles the board. At the center of the conveyor sits a collection of numbered color holes. As matching balls circle around the loop, they jump into their corresponding holes, reducing the number displayed on top. When a hole reaches zero, it disappears, creating more space for the remaining holes. But nothing is ever that simple. The holes block one another, the conveyor can become jammed, and every decision affects the flow of balls around the loop. What begins as a relaxing production line soon becomes a clever puzzle of timing, planning, and chain reactions. Choosing which wooden disc to carve, when to produce each color, and how to clear the center before the conveyor clogs requires increasingly careful strategy. Every level is a handcrafted puzzle with its own unique layout. Clear the jams, remove every numbered hole, and keep the conveyor flowing until the board is completely solved. In the game, you will: - Carve satisfying wooden spirals by pressing and holding wooden discs - Watch spirals transform into colorful balls through the grinder - Fill matching numbered holes inside the looping conveyor - Solve clever puzzles built around jams, blockers, and chain reactions - Master increasingly challenging handcrafted levels - Enjoy relaxing visuals paired with deeply satisfying gameplay Keep the loop moving, clear every numbered hole, and master the production line.
