Escape the Infinite Loop!

You are a lone prisoner, trapped in a high-security intergalactic facility. But this isn't just any prison; it's a mind-bending labyrinth where every wall is a portal, and every exit is an entrance. Welcome to Loop Cell, a top-down puzzle game designed to challenge your perception and spatial reasoning.

Can you outsmart the system and find your way to freedom, or will you be forever caught in the loop?

Unravel the Loop, Master the Hat

  • The Looping Levels: Prepare for a unique twist on classic maze puzzles! Each level is a single, stationary screen, but its boundaries are anything but fixed. Walk through the left wall, and you'll instantly reappear on the right. Go up, and be at the bottom. This "Pac-Man" style loop is central to every puzzle, forcing you to think beyond conventional walls.
  • The Glowing Green Hat: Your only companion and most powerful tool is a mysterious, glowing green hat. This isn't just for fashion. Throw it, and it will magically loop back to you, allowing you to activate distant switches, push heavy objects, and interact with the environment from afar.

Puzzles That Push Your Limits

Navigate increasingly complex levels filled with:

  • Intricate Mazes: Find the optimal path through a web of corridors, always remembering that the shortest distance might involve looping through a wall.
  • Box Pushing Challenges: Strategically maneuver crates using your hat to clear paths or activate pressure plates.
  • Tricky Levers & Buttons: Use your hat to activate switches from across the screen, opening doors or altering the level layout.

A Dark, Space Prison Aesthetic

Immerse yourself in the stark, oppressive atmosphere of a futuristic space prison. Dark, metallic environments are illuminated only by the faint glow of your hat and the cold light of the prison's systems, creating a tense and engaging puzzle-solving experience.
