It starts with a grid. Then you build a kingdom. Keepsweeper mixes Minesweeper-style deduction with a living, real-time fantasy kingdom. Read the number clues. Send workers to uncover tiles. Turn a small clearing into farms, homes and defenses. Then decide whether you're ready to wake the dragon. A LITTLE KINGDOM. BIG POSSIBILITIES. Build an economy that works together. Windmills support farms. Blacksmiths equip your soldiers. Chapels keep the army fighting. Discover combinations that turn a modest settlement into something wonderfully overpowered. EVERY SQUARE HAS A STORY Hidden gold, treasure chests, goblin lairs, crypts and sleeping dragons wait beneath the grid. Explore forests, cross lakes and settle mountain country. Dig carefully. The numbers are trying to tell you something. CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE Follow four quest paths: Dragon Hunt, Royal Treasury, Reclaim the Realm and Rival Kingdoms. The full game adds two twenty-level campaigns: Into the Badlands, with ruined roads, buried archives and Ancient Gates, and Beyond the Pines, where outlaw strongholds and dragon-summoning wizards hide in the northern forests. Head into the Wilds for a larger expedition, or see how long you can survive endless Siege. A NEW REALM EVERY DAY Explore a shared Daily Realm with special objectives. Record your victories in the Realm Journal and earn Royal Seals for first completions. MAKE THE NEXT RUN YOURS Earn Royal Seals and spend them in Research. Unlock new buildings, upgrades and permanent Passives for future runs. Discover treasures that change the rules: sunbeam-firing towers, floating settlements, unlikely allies and creatures you probably shouldn't have disturbed. FRIENDS, RIVALS AND YOUR OWN WORLDS Play online with two to four players. Fight for the last Keep standing, form teams, face AI kingdoms together or hold the line in Co-op Siege. Share an invitation link and friends join your game for free. Build and play your own scenarios in the Map Editor. OLD-SCHOOL WINDOWS. LIVING PIXELS. A familiar beveled interface opens onto busy little worlds. Workers harvest. Soldiers march. Dragons breathe fire. An adaptive fantasy soundtrack follows the action. Pause solo play whenever you need a moment to think. TRY IT. KEEP IT. Play the first two levels of Dragon Hunt, Royal Treasury, Reclaim the Realm and Rival Kingdoms for free, with unlimited randomized replays. Try one Daily Realm for free, with unlimited retries of that selected realm. One optional purchase unlocks the full game, including the remaining quest levels, Into the Badlands, Beyond the Pines, Daily Realm, Wilds, Siege, hosting multiplayer games and Map Editor. Solo quests, Wilds, Siege and local custom maps can be played offline. Daily calendar updates, optional reminders, online multiplayer, community maps, purchases and restoring purchases need an internet connection. Progress is saved on your device.

A little turn. A quieter mind. Loopoku is a peaceful path puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Tap the stone tiles to rotate their paths, match every neighbouring end, and bring every path tile together in exactly one closed loop. Locked stones give you a place to begin. Blank stones can rest. Pencil marks help you think things through. There are no losses, move limits or deadlines: take all the time you need. FIND YOUR OWN PACE Daily brings a shared 5×5 garden each day, changing at midnight UTC. Endless lets you choose 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, 7×7 or 8×8, then wander into another garden at the same size whenever you finish. Puzzles are generated with one solution. COME BACK WHEN YOU LIKE Unfinished puzzles, tile orientations and pencil marks are saved on your device. Pick up your Endless garden where you left it, or return to an unfinished Daily. Changing Endless size asks before replacing an unfinished puzzle. Personal rotation counts and active play time are just for your own curiosity, with an option to show them during play. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME Warm stone and moss-green paths set the scene in Garden Path. Explore deep evergreen Forest, cool Ocean and warm Sunset too, each with its own nature motif. All four palettes support light and dark appearance. Soft tile turns and a completion chime follow Silent Mode and can be switched off. Supported devices offer optional haptics. There is no background music. LITTLE MILESTONES, NO RUSH Nine achievements celebrate your connected gardens and Daily walks. Track them in Settings, even offline. Daily completions need not be consecutive, and reconnecting the same completed garden never counts twice. Game Center connects automatically and syncs achievements with Apple when signed in, not your boards, time or rotations. Offline access or sign-in failure never blocks puzzles. There are no leaderboards. ALL YOURS, FROM THE START Loopoku is free and ad-free. Every puzzle, mode and palette is included. If you would like to support its development, three optional, independent one-time contributions are available in Settings. Each can be purchased once and restored. Contributions unlock nothing and offer no gameplay advantage. Play puzzles offline. No account required to play, no online competition and no native-app analytics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Keepsweeper at 15.0 against Loopoku's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
