And Round Again
And Round Again is a puzzle game where the goal is to create as many loops as possible by connecting the appearing segments. A completed loop disappears, leaving room for new segments and new loops. At times special pieces show up to either help you or to complicate your task.

Fourth!online top scores - match your skill against players from all over the world*

The game is available for both Windows and OS X. The price is a very reasonable $15 which, if you consider that you'll be playing the game for years to come, rounds down to a mere nothing an hour. And while we refuse to go to any obnoxious lengths to enforce payment, buying the game is the best way to tell us that you like it. As a registered user you also get access to global top scores, to an exclusive game mode that lets you play the game without a timer, and to an extra minigame with a shot at yet one more.

So I'm crap at writing catchy marketing blurbs. Let's try some old-fashioned honesty instead: The basic game idea is obviously not mine. It is borrowed from an old Audiogenic game called Loopz that was, unfortunately, less than stellar.

For fifteen years I've been in love with this idea, convinced that it could be turned into one of the most addictive puzzlers ever. But since nobody did it justice, eventually I felt I had to do it myself. This is my third attempt, ten years since the last try, and finally the game is everything I want it to be.

So many times you hear game developers complain that they've played their creations to death while making them, that they can no longer stand them. I've played this game and its predecessor for well over a thousand hours during these years, and my love is as strong as ever. It really is that fun. Give it a try and see for yourself.
