About the Game

Type first. Then attack.

In They Shall Not Loop, enemies move continuously clockwise along the edges of the platform, creeping closer to catastrophe with every passing second.

If even a single enemy completes a full lap, it’s game over. To attack, you must first type the name of your attack, then quickly type the name of the enemy you want to destroy.

After each level, choose one of three upgrades including new turret types and shape your playstyle as you progress. A variety of enemy types will test your speed and focus: some spawn new enemies when defeated, some hide their letters, some change their word with every hit, and many more await as surprises.

Test your speed.

Test your focus.

Simple rules.

Relentless pressure.

Don’t let them complete the loop.

DEVELOPER WARNING: This game is HARD. Good luck.
