About

Gemloop

Features
Read full description

One tap. Two orbits. How long can you survive? Gemloop is a pure-reflex arcade game you can play with one thumb. You orbit a glowing star — tap anywhere to hop between the inner and outer ring. Mines spike up in your path, gems drift in for the taking, and the orbit keeps getting faster. That's the whole game. It takes three seconds to learn and it will not let go of you. HOW TO PLAY • Tap to switch between the two orbit rings • Dodge the mines — they flash a warning before they arm • Grab gems for bonus points • Survive as long as you can while everything speeds up WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK • Runs last seconds, "one more try" lasts an hour • Pure skill — no lives, no timers, no paywalls • Silky animations, glowing particles and satisfying haptics • Plays fully offline, anywhere • No ads, no tracking, no account, no nonsense Beat your best. Then beat it again.
