Beadlace

A tray of glass beads and a single thread. Drag through neighbouring beads of the same colour, up, down, left or right, and let go to lift them off the tray. New beads drop in from above.

Bring the thread back to a bead it already passed and you close a loop: every bead of that colour on the board is cleared at once. Loops are how you beat the tighter levels.

• 24 levels: each with a move limit and one to four goals, from 6x6 trays to 8x8 trays with holes and pillars
• Three kinds of goal: collect beads of a colour, break single and double ice, bring charms down to the bottom row
• Loops: close the thread to clear a whole colour
• Endless timed mode: 60 seconds, loops add 4 s and threads of six or more add 1 s
• Stars: up to three per level for moves left, saved with your progress
• Full keyboard play: a cursor, Space to start, arrows to extend, Enter to release
