Enter a living garden where every movement becomes part of the puzzle. Serpent Loom is an original arcade strategy game inspired by the graceful movement of a serpent—but with a completely new objective. Guide your serpent across a mystical grid, weave glowing paths, and cross your own thread to create closed garden loops. Everything enclosed inside a completed loop blooms. Larger loops and captured seeds produce higher scores, while careful planning helps you build powerful elemental combinations. MASTER THE THREE SEEDS Collect three types of magical seeds: • Sun — stores the warmth of daylight • Moon — shines along patient paths • Moss — connects ancient life to the soil Carry Sun, Moon, and Moss together before completing a loop to activate a rare Triad Bloom. Triad Blooms multiply your reward and extend your expedition. A DIFFERENT KIND OF SERPENT GAME This is not traditional Snake. Growing longer is only one small part of the challenge. Your real goal is to shape the board, manage your temporary thread, capture seeds inside loops, and decide when to complete a valuable bloom.

Step into the forge. Cleanse the curses, mix the resins, and restore ancient dragon scales to their former glory. Welcome to DracoGild. Royal dragons travel from across the realms seeking your legendary forge to restore their damaged, cursed, and dulled scales. As the realm's master Scale Artisan, it is your duty to cleanse their afflictions and return their armor to its pristine, ancient glory. Designed as a relaxing, tactile puzzle experience, DracoGild combines logic-based alchemy with physical gesture mechanics, all wrapped in a rich, hand-painted fantasy aesthetic. HOW TO PLAY: • Inspect the Affliction: Review the waiting dragon's curse—whether it's the chilling bite of Frostbite, the brittle ash of a Cinder Cleft, or the corrosion of Venomous Rot. • Mix the Elements: Tap the elemental alchemist pots (Ember, Frost, and Venom) to create the perfect curing bind. Consult your Grimoire if you forget a recipe! • Polish the Scale: Once the resin binds, rapidly scrub your screen to physically polish the damaged artifact. Fill the Curing Gauge to complete the restoration and reveal the pristine scale. REAL FEATURES: • Endless Gameplay: A procedural roster generates an infinite queue of unique dragons and curses, ensuring your forge always has work to do. • Tactile Haptics: Feel the friction of your craftsmanship. As you scrub the screen to polish scales, dynamic haptic feedback responds to your movements. • The Hoard Ledger: An elegant, eternal archive of your greatest restorations. Track every scale you’ve cured, the effort required, and the date of restoration. • The Grimoire & Artisan Guide: Built-in lore and instructions to guide your hand and help you master the elemental resin recipes. • Custom Fantasy UI: Immerse yourself in a bespoke interface featuring carved bone buttons, glowing artifacts, and rich dragon-leather backgrounds (with a couple of baby dragons keeping you company!).

No internet connection is required to play. • Zero Tracking: No user accounts, no analytics tracking, no external APIs, and no ads. • On-Device Storage: Your Hoard Ledger and settings are saved securely and strictly to your local device.
