Overview and Gameplay
Rotate and place line-shaped pieces across a 126-tile grid, joining their paths into closed loops that disappear for points. Unfinished structures remain on the board, so poor placements steadily reduce the available space.
Game A focuses on survival and high scores, with faster timers at higher levels. Game B adds level progression, score multipliers, and bonus rounds. Game C presents 50 memory-based puzzles in which missing pieces must be restored to complete a displayed loop, with passwords awarded during progression.
