Straight out of the loop

Real gameplay — all pixels, no mockups.

One simple loop

Half arcade reflexes, half critter empire — every capture is drawn by hand, and every critter you settle earns gold toward your next upgrade.

1

Draw

Trace a circle around a critter before it bolts.

2

Catch

Close the loop and it's yours. Wigglier critters need quicker hands.

3

Place

Give it a spot on your island. Every critter pulls its weight in gold.

4

Repeat

Gold keeps flowing while you hunt. Spend it, expand, loop again.

…and back to step one. That's the loop.

Meet the first recruits

Four of the many critters waiting for you on launch day.

Fast, loud, and famously bad under pressure.

Woke up grumpy. Stayed grumpy.

Snips

Will absolutely pinch you. Worth it.

…and more critters

Active capture

Every catch is earned

The lasso is all you: trace a loop around a critter to catch it, then take it home to your islands.

  • Draw the loop yourself — that's the whole art
  • Every caught critter earns a spot on your islands
  • Spend your gold on lasso upgrades

Island economy

Islands that fund the hunt

Every critter you place generates gold while you play. Reinvest it: a better lasso, more ground, rarer catches.

  • Placed critters generate gold as you play
  • Gold pays for lasso upgrades and new islands
  • More critters, more gold, bigger loops

Get in the loop early

A wishlist is the single best way to help the game at launch — and the best way to not miss it.
