Pixel Beads: Loop

Send colors up onto the spinning rail, and the picture rebuilds itself.

Pixel Beads: Loop is a one-tap pixel art puzzle played against a rail that never stops turning. Tap a cluster of beads, send it up, and watch every bead find its own place on the board. The rail always puts beads in the right spot — it just never waits for you.

■ How to play

Tap a cluster of matching beads and they lift off the board onto the rail.

As the rail turns, each bead drops into an empty tile of its own color by itself.

Every drop is correct. What you choose to send, and when, is the whole game.

■ Don't let the rail jam

Send up colors with nowhere to go and the rail fills.

When nothing can move, the stage is stuck: watch an ad to return the rail's beads to the board and keep going, or start the board over.

Reading the rail before you tap is what separates a clean finish from a jam.

■ Collect pixel art keyrings

Every stage you clear fills in the big picture on your home screen.

Complete it to add a pixel art keyring to your Collection, then tap the keyring to claim gold.

■ Earn gold, change your look

Earn gold by clearing stages, finishing daily challenges, and completing keyrings.

Spend it on skins for your beads, rail, shooter, and background, or find more in Shop packages — from cats and penguins to a ballpark, a beach, and paper-craft designs.

Need more room? Expand the rail. Want to move faster? Turn on a 3x speed boost.
