LoopLoose

Features
Read full description

Coloured rubber bands are stretched round pegs, all tangled up. Tap one peg, tap another, and they swap places. Keep swapping until no two bands cross and every loop springs free. LoopLoose is a calm, juicy untangle puzzle. Every stage is built backwards from a solved board, so it always has a solution, and a solver works out par: the fewest swaps it can find. Match par for three stars, or beat it on the biggest boards if you can. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a peg, then another, to swap them • Sparks show where bands cross. Clear every spark • Fewer swaps earn more stars • Stuck? Reshuffle deals the stage again with a fresh look WHAT'S INSIDE • 250 stages across 8 worlds, from a sunny breeze to a midnight sky • Boards that grow from two little loops to 36 pegs • 24 themes to unlock with stars: gumdrops and licorice, mushrooms and roots, neon switches, crackling power lines, planets in orbit, crown jewels and more • Holiday themes for everyone: lanterns for Lunar New Year, hearts on Valentine's Day, skulls and bones at Halloween, pies at Thanksgiving, candy canes at Christmas, mirror balls on New Year's Eve and more • 35 badges to earn, from Hat Trick to Perfect Ten.
