Loopz (pronounced Loops) is a puzzle game released for a variety of home computers around 1989. The game was designed by Ian Upton of Audiogenic. The game plays as sort of a combination of Tetris and Pipe Dream. The player has a limited grid playing field, in which the player must connect pipes to form a complete loop, hence the game's title. When a loop is made, the pipes disappear. Also similar to Tetris, the game has three different types of play modes.
The game was released in all major regions; North America and Europe, with exclusive Japanese versions being released for the PC-9801 and Sharp X68000 computers. A couple home ports were also made, one for the NES, and the other for the Game Boy.
A sequel titled Super Loopz was developed for the CD32 and Super Nintendo, the latter being released in Japan only, despite being developed in Europe, and being slated for a North American release.
