Loopy – Draw a Single Closed Loop – Puzzle Game
Loopy
You are given a grid of dots, marked with yellow lines to indicate which dots you are allowed to connect directly together. Your aim is to use some subset of those yellow lines to draw a single unbroken loop from dot to dot within the grid.
Loopy is an implementation of Slitherlink which was invented by Nikoli, a Japanese publisher that specializes in games and, particularly, logic puzzles.
The rules of the game:
- Connect adjacent dots with vertical or horizontal lines to make a single loop
- The numbers indicate how many lines surround it, while empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines
- The loop never crosses itself and never branches off
