Below the shield there are eight horizontal rows where the player, code breaker is able to guess the color and placing of the covered pins. On the right side of each horizontal row there are holes for pegs where the software will provide feedback for the code breaker after every attempt made to guess the code: - black peg indicates right color pin in right place - white peg indicates right color pin in wrong place - no peg indicates wrong color and place The code breaker only gets one peg for every covered color that they guess right. If there are two pins of the same color hidden behind the shield, and the player guess that there are three pins of that same color, the player can still only get two pegs indicating right color. Once the feedback has been provide the code breaker has a new attempt to guess the color/placing and break the code, with the help of the feedback and logical thinking. As the numbers of rows indicate you only have eight attempts to guess the code you will be awarded points when you guess the color right and extra bonus points when you crack the code.

Looplink is a beautiful, ad-free Slitherlink game for everyone who's tired of puzzle apps that feel like slot machines. Draw a single closed loop through the grid. The numbers tell you how many of the surrounding edges are part of the loop. No corners, no crossings, no branches — just one continuous shape. The rules take 30 seconds to learn. The puzzles take a lifetime. WHAT'S INSIDE • Six hand-curated puzzles every week across four grid sizes (5×5, 7×7, 10×10, 15×15) • Endless mode: an algorithmic generator with guaranteed unique solutions — never run out • Four difficulty bands from quick warmups to genuinely hard • Hints that teach: each hint shows the Slitherlink rule that forced the edge, not just the answer • Solve Replay: watch your solve trace itself back when you finish • Marginalia: long-press any clue to pin a private note to it • Calm Streak: daily streak that rests on Sundays, never shames you • Theme Drift: optional four-mood theme rotation across the day (Editorial / Midcentury / Race / Terminal) • iCloud sync: progress, streak, notes follow you across iPhone and iPad • Undo / redo as much as you want • Auto-save every puzzle so you can step away mid-solve • Light + dark for every theme, colorblind-friendly palette, adjustable line thickness • Haptic feedback when you complete the loop THE LOOPLINK PROMISE • No ads. Ever. • No in-app purchases. • No subscriptions. • No timers shouting at you, no streaks shaming you, no fake "Coin" currency, no daily login pressure. • No accounts. No tracking. No analytics SDKs. No data sent to us. • One price, paid once. The whole game. WHY LOOPLINK Most Slitherlink apps on the App Store today are abandoned, ad-laden, or both. Looplink is built by one developer who wanted a clean, native, premium Slitherlink experience on iOS. If you've played the Nikoli official app and wished it didn't run a stressful countdown timer in the corner, or you've tried other Slitherlink apps and bounced off the ad spam — this is for you. LOOP GAMES Looplink is the first release from Loop Games, a one-person studio focused on ad-free, premium logic puzzles. More coming next: Hashi (Bridges), then Nurikabe. PRIVACY Looplink doesn't collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry. Progress optionally syncs across your own devices via Apple's iCloud — it stays in your iCloud account, never touches our servers (we don't have any). — Slitherlink is a trademark of Nikoli Co., Ltd.
