How to play

Drag a tile horizontally or vertically to shift its entire row or column. Tiles wrap around the board.
Connect the lines into closed cycles. Completed loops clear and score points; consecutive clears build a combo.
Read the goal above the board. Later levels introduce glitches, blocked tiles, turn limits or a timer.

Controls & screen size

Drag with a mouse or finger. Use the circular arrow below the board to restart the current level. The bin clears saved progress after confirmation. Keyboard-only play is not supported.

A little tip

Look for two corners that almost meet, then shift a whole row into place. A move can create more than one loop.
