San Francisco-based husband and wife team Chickenfeet Studios are debuting this December on iPad with Super Looper. It's a puzzle game about recreating mystic Celtic knots.

You're probably familiar with these knots as they're used often for decoration. You may have seen them weaved into baskets, as floor mosaics, and carved into stone crosses before.

The game, Super Looper, involves rotating and swapping tiles to build a Celtic knot that fills the entire grid. The challenge is to do this before you run out of moves.

There's more to it than that, though, as you're able to get more moves to use by creating smaller knots within the grid.

While this may sound like a bonus challenge, or a way to save yourself after making a mistake, my guess is that you'll have to create smaller knots to get more moves in order to complete harder levels.

There are 100 hand-crafted levels, across which are other types of challenges to vary the puzzling up a little. These include "speed games, bird attacks, and lightning strikes" - your guess is as good as mine as to what that entails.

We'll find out when Super Looper released for iPad this December. Check out the game's website for more information.
