Loopwick: Lasso the Murk

The night the Hushgate cracked, the Murk flooded into Stiltwater and snuffed the lamps one by one. Nell Pike is fifteen, an apprentice at the old ropewalk, and she has one glowing rope. That will have to do.

● RUN A LOOP — Steer Nell with one thumb. Her glowing rope trails behind her; cross your own path and the loop snaps shut round every monster inside. Bigger loops catch more.
● EVERY MONSTER JOINS YOU — Murk caught in a loop is scrubbed clean and becomes a Brightling that rides round Nell and fights for her. A Snipper becomes a Shear, a Jarback becomes a Shell: each catch decides what your swarm can do.
● RELEASE — Tap the lantern to spend the whole swarm in one bright burst and clear the screen. Then start building it again.
● A FRAGILE ROPE — Snippers cut it, Tanglers shorten it, currents and wind pull at it. Read the street before you run.
● FIVE GLOWING WORLDS — Lamp Square & the Canals, the Rope Bridges & Mill Run, Lilymere Floating Market, Saltglass Flats and the Undermere: 50 levels, each world with its own tricks, and five giant bosses you beat by looping their weak points.
● CHOIRS AND KNOTS — Gather six Brightlings of one kind and they sing as a Choir. Choose a Knot after each wave to bend the run your way: a roguelite choice every few minutes.
● BRING A FRIEND — Six partners from the town, each with a power of their own: Ottie's bell stuns the Murk, Bram hooks the biggest monster into your path, Tobiah's lamp drone relights the dark, Master Odo mends a cut rope, and more.
● MORE TO PLAY — Long Tide (endless), Gate Watch (boss rush), the Seven Lamps daily reward, Lamplight Errands and the Brightling Almanac.
● COSY, NOT GRIM — Warm canal lights, a stubborn little town and a mystery under the water. The Murk is scrubbed clean into light: no blood, no gore.
