You are a spark in a dark arena, and the last three seconds of your path hang behind you as a burning rope. Anything that touches the rope burns. Cross your own rope and the loop you just drew bursts, hitting everything inside it and on its line hard. Survive five minutes until dawn against swarms that grow every second, choosing an upgrade at every level. Movement is the only control, and movement is the weapon.

Overview
About Lasso
One-thumb arena survival: steer a spark, trail a burning rope, and close a loop to blast everything inside it. Survive five minutes to reach dawn.
Gameplay
How it plays
- Put a thumb anywhere on the screen and drag; the spark follows.
- The last three seconds of your path are a burning rope. Enemies that touch it burn.
- Cross your own rope to close a loop. Everything inside it and on its line takes a heavy hit.
- Collect the motes your kills drop to level up and pick one of three upgrades.
- The Warden arrives at two and four minutes. Reach five minutes to see dawn.
Depth
What makes runs different
- Loop size against loop time: a loop drawn slower than the rope burns never closes.
- Upgrades interact: cold rope plus long rope is control, big burst plus chain is a bomb.
- Circling in place is a trap; drawing through a crowd is the play.

FAQ
Common questions
How do I attack?
You do not have a weapon button. Enemies that touch your rope burn, and closing a loop by crossing your own rope hits everything inside it hard.
Why does my loop not close?
The rope is three seconds long. A loop that takes longer than that to draw has no rope left at its start. Draw smaller, faster loops.
What is dawn?
The five-minute mark. Surviving to dawn wins the run; the Warden boss comes at two and four minutes.
Where is my progress stored?
Progress, records, unlocks, the saved run and the sound/haptics settings are stored on the device only (UserDefaults and the app's own Application Support folder). Deleting the app deletes them. x3r0soft never receives them. See the Privacy Policy for details.
How do I reset?
Settings → Reset progress clears records, unlocks and any saved run; sound and haptics settings are kept.
