Slitherlink: Loop the Snake

I play several Conceptis games that I love, but this may be my favorite. It took me a bit to catch on to how you play, but it was never one of those that was just too frustrating and made me want to give up. I love the design and playability of the game—I’ve tried a couple other apps with this game, and they were definitely more clunky. I have anxiety disorder, and I find when I’m feeling especially anxious, this game is strangely calming—I think maybe it’s partially having something that has a predictable result.

Once you understand the basic rules of where lines cannot be placed it makes it feel less daunting to complete the puzzles. I play these when I want to relax or detox from social media lately & it’s been really awesome to find a puzzle game that is the right amount of challenging but not overwhelmingly hard that I get frustrated. I do wish there was an option/tool to choose between adding lines and placing the X markers instead of double tapping to get to the X. Since I start the puzzles marking out where not to place a line it would be easier to be able to switch from one to the other with the click of one button instead of repeatedly double tapping, I hope that makes sense. But other than that I love this app.

This app is great fun, thought-provoking and offers SO much variety of different puzzles at various difficulty and sizes. You’ll need to read the Help Menu to learn how to play. You’ll want to read (I highly recommend reading) the Techniques section as well, it’s a lifesaver. I even wrote them down to use as a reference until I knew them by heart. I am a Conceptis Puzzles fan and this is one of my favorites.
