Loop them

Grab the screen and don't let go—your little ship lives or dies by how smoothly you trace loops through space.

Loop Them doesn't waste time explaining itself. You press down, your ship starts dragging along an invisible thread, and suddenly you're carving lazy arcs across a dark grid. The whole game is that one gesture—tap, hold, steer. Release and you drift. It's so simple I thought I'd be bored in thirty seconds. I wasn't. Your ship has just enough inertia to feel real. Cut a tight loop and you'll slingshot out the other side; wait too long to adjust and you'll clip a mine or slam into a rival trail. The score ticks up when you enclose things—orbiting floating orbs or other ships feels like drawing a lasso in zero gravity. On my best run I spent a full minute circling a dense cluster, inching the line closer without touching it. On my worst run I overcorrected, panicked, and watched the ship spiral into the boundary like a moth with a grudge. That's the loop. It's the kind of arcade game that hides a skill ceiling behind a one-word tutorial. No power-ups to bail you out, no second chances—just your thumb (or mouse) and the line you choose to draw. The difficulty comes from your own greed: you can settle for a small safe loop or stretch for a huge one and risk everything. I kept chasing one more attempt because the failures were always mine, not the game's. If you like twitchy, minimal controls with a zen feel and a lethal edge, Loop Them quietly eats an afternoon. And yes, you'll probably mutter "one more try" at least four times before you actually stop.

Tap and hold in the screen to control the spaceship

Keep your loops wide early on; tight turns burn momentum and leave you drifting into hazards. Release briefly to coast when you need to line up a gap—don't oversteer. Focus on enclosing small clusters first, they build your score faster than risky giant loops. Watch the edge of the screen: the boundary kills more runs than any enemy. On mobile, use a stylus or your fingertip, not your thumb knuckle, for smoother arcs. If you're about to crash, tap and hold the opposite direction hard—your ship can sometimes snap out of a spin.
