Animal Loop app icon: a smiling hedgehog

Tiny racers.
Big loops.

The one-tap racing game for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your animal rolls on its own. Every tap turns it.

One tap to steer

No stick, no brake. Your animal curls up and rolls in a straight line, and each tap turns it. Time your taps to stay off the walls and keep your hearts.

Three worlds, dawn to night

Nine handmade tracks in every world, from simple loops to tracks with overlaps that cross over themselves.

World 1Dune Flats

Desert roads past the pyramids, with switch gates that flip which way a tap turns you.

World 2Coral Shallows

Sandbars over turquoise water, with bridges and knots that loop back under themselves.

World 3Fern Hollow

Forest trails with sticky mud patches and moles that dig you a shortcut.

Collect 18 racers

Hedgehogs, otters, owls and more, each one curled up and rolling on its own spines, shell or feathers. Win a world's Grand Prix and its rival joins your roster.

Take on the Grand Prix

Every world ends with one: all nine tracks, back to back, at the speed you pick, against that world's rival animal.

Your Game Center friends race with you as translucent ghosts of their best runs, so you always know if you're ahead or falling behind.

Race into the night

Every track has its own day. The sun moves as you race, shadows follow it, and the hardest laps happen by moonlight.
