01 THE LOOP

A 20-second
adrenaline hit.

Three moves on repeat. The whole game rides on how fast you can cycle them before the board pushes a key off the bottom.

01
Spell

Tap tiles to build a word — any valid English word, 3 letters minimum. Type on keyboard if you prefer.
02
Save

Gravity floats tiles upward. Clear columns so golden key tiles reach the top row — rescue them all to advance.
03
Survive

Every few seconds a new row pushes in from the top. Miss a key off the bottom and it's game over. By level 25, you have 5 seconds.

02 ABILITIES

Seven orbs.
Seven weapons.

Every tile you clear charges a red, yellow, or blue meter. Fill one and an orb slots in. Fill two and they merge. Fill all three and you get a rainbow beam that obliterates a whole column.

TIER 1 Singles — one meter

Bomb

Red · destroys a tile

Aim at any non-key tile to blow it up. 10% chance of chain destruction.

Scramble

Yellow · shuffles board

All non-key tiles re-arrange. Never leaves you stuck with a bad draw.

Freeze

Blue · pauses the timer

8 seconds of frozen board. Stacks up to 20 seconds for combo planning.

TIER 2 Combos — two meters merged

Firestorm

R + Y · bomb + scramble

Destroy a tile, then the remaining board shuffles. Reset and strike.

Ice Storm

Y + B · scramble + freeze

Shuffle the board, then lock the timer. Unlimited planning time.

Detonator

R + B · bomb + freeze

Blow up a tile while the timer is paused. Precision play.

TIER 3 · ULTIMATE Rainbow — all three meters

Rainbow Beam

R + Y + B · column clear

Aim with arrow keys. Fire. An entire column vaporizes, goldens float free. The rarest, most strategic ability — fill all three meters at once or it slips away.

03 DIFFICULTY

Three columns of pressure.

More columns = more letters per row = more options, but also more tiles pushing in at once. Every mode shares the same 20-second→5-second timer ramp across levels 1–25.

Chill

3 columns. Space to think. The onboarding difficulty that still lets you chase a high score.

Columns: 3
Keys / level: 3

Tough

4 columns. More letters, more choices, less forgiveness. The intended sweet spot.

Columns: 4
Keys / level: 4

Gnarly

5 columns. Solo Qs. More keys than fingers. Built for leaderboards.

Columns: 5
Keys / level: 5

04 DEPTH

Built for long runs.

Endless mode with systems that reward returning. Daily leaderboards, achievement trees, challenge variety, and every setting you'd expect from a modern indie.

24h

Daily Puzzle

Same board for everyone, every day. Date-seeded RNG means your score is directly comparable with whoever else opened the site this morning. Streak counter ticks up if you show up tomorrow too.
