Picture a stitched pixel image and a line of colorful spools ready to pull it apart thread by thread. That is the heart of Unravel Loop, a cozy cross-stitch puzzle that our Happy Kid Games studio created for players who enjoy calm but clever challenges. Every spool removes only stitches in its own color and rolls the yarn back up as it goes.
Tap the spool sitting first in a lane to put it on the track. As it loops around the picture, it tugs the closest stitch it faces in every row and column, as long as the color fits. A number on the spool shows how many more stitches it needs, and when that counter drops to 0 the spool leaves. A spool that completes its lap without filling up parks in a slot until you tap it again. If one comes back while every slot is occupied, the level is lost. No more than 5 spools can ride together.
Desktop: click with the mouse.
Mobile: tap the screen while holding your phone upright.
There are 40 handmade pixel pictures to unravel. Coins pile up while you play, and you can spend them on boosters such as Rainbow, Shuffle and Pick when a hard level gets in your way.
Watching a picture peel away one layer after another is oddly satisfying, and planning which spool goes next keeps your brain busy.
