Loop Chomp vs Duet: Rotating Dodgers, Compared
Honest takes from a one-tap dev · October 2026
Duet and Loop Chomp both live on a circle. In Duet you rotate two orbs around a center to dodge falling blocks, wrapped in a moody narrated campaign. In Loop Chomp one tap flips a chomper around a ring of snacks and spike bars, built around daily races and boards. Here is how the two compare, from someone who plays both.
Duet is one of the games I point to when someone asks what good mobile design looks like. It is also one of the closest cousins Loop Chomp has. Both are about rotation and dodging, but they want very different things from you.
What Duet is
Kumobius released Duet in 2013. You control two orbs, one red and one blue, joined on a circle. Hold one side of the screen to spin them one way, the other side to spin them back, and thread both orbs through obstacles falling from above. Lose either orb and the run is over.
Its signature is tone. A narrator speaks between levels, the music is moody, and the campaign feels like a short story told through difficulty. It is a game you remember for its atmosphere as much as its challenge.
What they share
Both are rotation games where position on a circle is everything, both are readable at a glance, and both are hard in a fair way. If you love the feeling of spinning out of the way at the last moment, you will like both.
Where they split
Duet is about controlling two things at once, and the tension comes from protecting both. Loop Chomp is one chomper and one tap: you reverse direction, and the skill is choosing when. Duet's campaign is authored and finite. Loop Chomp is built to come back to every day: the Sprint is ten fresh rounds daily, the same for every player, and the boards show exactly who you are chasing.
Loop Chomp is also more of an arcade game: snacks to eat for points, golden snacks worth the risk, coins for cosmetics, and a live 1v1 mode against a friend.
What Loop Chomp is
Loop Chomp is a free one tap arcade game: a chomper laps a ring, spike bars park over the track, and one tap flips your direction. It runs in any browser with no download or signup, and it is on Google Play. The daily Sprint gives every player the same ten short rounds, the Classic board pays the top spots coins every night, and everything you can buy is cosmetic only.
