| Oct 4 22:07:58 | Sushi for Robots | ♥ 1 | This game is sweet, but I can't figure out how to rate it. | |
| Oct 4 23:15:59 | 1h 08m | Loop of Shapes | ♥ 1 | Nice core gameplay loop, nice music. It's a little confusing how a mistake just kicks you to the title screen without saying anything and that it takes a minute to start spawning things. |
| Oct 4 23:27:32 | 11m 33s | Super Box Bot's Package Push | ♥ 1 | I like the mechanics of this a lot, though I found the robot voice extremely irritating. Also, I encountered a bug where after I beat the third level, I was taken directly to the fifth, which was rather confusing. |
| Oct 4 23:36:22 | 8m 50s | Blobs | ♥ 1 | This is fun in an idle-game-y way, but a bit lacking in depth imo. |
| Oct 4 23:43:31 | 7m 09s | Dynamo | ♥ 2 | I got the top score on your leaderboard by doing nothing but holding down right. Not exactly the most exciting game. |
| Oct 4 23:53:50 | 10m 19s | Brainstuck | ♥ 1 | I can't figure out how to interact with this game. |
| Oct 5 00:17:49 | 23m 59s | Hall Of Mirrors | ♥ 1 | The visuals and theme are very nice and I like the mechanical variation between the levels. The physics can be a little fiddly, and I had some performance issues, but overall this is very nice. |
| Oct 5 01:25:31 | 1h 07m | Torus Tours | ♥ 1 | This is incredibly cool. |
| Oct 5 02:39:57 | 1h 14m | Loop Robot | ♥ 1 | The idea of adding commands to the code while it's running is pretty clever. The game is really slow though, and I think that it'd be a lot more fun to play if there was some way to speed it up. Also, the audio is really loud for some reason. It's a cool concept, although it might have needed a little more time and polishing. |
| Oct 5 02:51:56 | 11m 59s | Infinite Pinball | ♥ 1 | My best time after 2 or 3 tries was a 1:10. I like the idea of infinite looping pinball, but in addition to the physics being quite janky, it felt like there were a lot of long stretches of time where I didn't have any chance to touch the ball. Altogether a nice concept and a fun little time waster. |
| Oct 5 03:46:56 | 55m 00s | Infinite Gauntlet | ♥ 2 | This is a very interesting concept, but all of the puzzles are very easy. Would have liked to see some more challenging levels, but it's still pretty cool mechanically. A button to speed up animations would be nice though, as it's rather annoying waiting 10+ turns for it to get into a loop. |
| Oct 5 03:54:52 | 7m 56s | Time Princess | ♥ 2 | A neat concept for an idle game, but there's not that much interactivity and the fact that if you die you lose all your stuff for real is super punishing. It seems like it takes too long to become powerful imo. |
| Oct 5 04:03:51 | 8m 59s | Debug.Loop! | ♥ 2 | I get that the audio is supposed to sound glitchy, but this veers into the realm of "actually painful to listen to". The gameplay is pretty basic as well, because you only have to look at the segment you're on and the one that's gonna be swapped to next. The core dodging objects gameplay works fine I guess, but overall it's pretty shallow. |
| Oct 5 04:09:47 | 5m 56s | Arcane Forest | ♥ 1 | If there's supposed to be some sort of hint in the game as to the path you're meant to take, it's too subtle for me to notice. I gave up after wandering around for a while without making any progress that I could discern. |
| Oct 5 04:46:15 | 36m 28s | Golden Ratio | ♥ 1 | The gameplay isn't much, but this looks incredibly cool. Also, this is some sweet music. |
| Oct 5 05:20:21 | 34m 06s | Oscillator Panic | ♥ 2 | This is pretty fun, it's a bit trial and error but that's okay. Also, this level of visuals in a puzzlescript game is insanely impressive. |
| Oct 5 05:36:34 | 16m 13s | O | ♥ 1 | This game doesn't seem to load. |
| Oct 5 05:47:53 | 11m 19s | Stuck In A Loop | ♥ 0 | Your game appears not to be public, the link leads to a 404. |
| Oct 5 05:52:13 | 4m 20s | Asteroid Loop | ♥ 1 | Pretty neat concept, I like it. It's very easy to lose track of the controls because they're relative. |
| Oct 5 06:04:55 | 12m 42s | Tower of Madness | ♥ 3 | Can't say I actually enjoy rage games, but this is a good example of the genre at least, you're got the tight platforming controls and forgiving hitboxes down. |
| Oct 5 06:17:32 | 12m 37s | Round Out | ♥ 1 | Big fan of the visuals, and I haven't seen any other games with this interpretation of loop. |
| Oct 5 06:23:12 | 5m 40s | BLOBIUS | ♥ 1 | Big fan of the visuals, and the enemy variety is very nice. I like how you did the "glitchy" effects without going completely overboard. IMO, the controls should be the other way around, but that's just me maybe. |
| Oct 5 07:00:01 | 36m 49s | Minotaur's Labyrinth | ♥ 2 | Very neat game, I like the aesthetic. The game reminds me of another game I'm not gonna say the name of because spoilers but you can probably guess what game. I almost wonder if it'd work better without the progress bar? |
| Oct 5 07:11:13 | 11m 12s | Collateral Damage | ♥ 1 | Neat game, though it's a little frustrating that aliens in the second ring move at almost exactly the same speed as you. |
| Oct 5 08:59:57 | 1h 48m | Concentric | ♥ 1 | Neat concept, it'd be nice if there was some sort of fast forward button since there's s lot of waiting. |
| Oct 5 09:17:44 | 17m 47s | Thunder Rally | ♥ 1 | It's a little annoying that at a certain point you've got nothing to spend money on but the occasional repair, but the game's not even half over. |
| Oct 5 23:13:44 | 13h 56m | Loopoban | ♥ 0 | Some very clever puzzles in here, and the ending is great. I kinda wish it were longer, but what's there is great. |
| Oct 6 00:37:17 | 1h 23m | Time Gear | ♥ 0 | You seem to be missing some files on the downloads. |
| Oct 6 01:18:03 | 40m 46s | An Exercise for the Reader | ♥ 1 | Well, it was interesting to hear you talk about it at least. Personally I've been avoiding using any 'real' game engine because it always feels like I'm working around then engine more than with it. The idea of having robots call each other is really cool, maybe worth developing further? IDK. |
| Oct 6 04:23:05 | 3h 05m | Knots | ♥ 2 | I couldn’t figure out how to get points, even after the tutorial. Also, it crashed. The movement feels really good. |
| Oct 7 17:36:15 | 37h 13m | Tunnels | ♥ 1 | Even if the actual art is pretty basic, the overall aesthetic is nice. The camera controls could maybe use a bit more work. I like the way you keep returning to places that you've been with new abilities. |
| Oct 7 23:13:32 | 5h 37m | Loop Lab | ♥ 2 | Neat, but a little repetitive and easy. |
| Oct 11 02:39:14 | 75h 25m | LaserLoop | ♥ 1 | This was fun, but IMO the puzzles could serve to be a lot harder. Also, there were a lot of puzzles I finished with lots of leftover pieces and without using massive areas of the level, which suggests they might have been unintended solutions? overall, fun concept, could probably stand some more polishing tho. |
| Oct 11 07:30:36 | 4h 51m | Re:Live | ♥ 2 | Quite a cool game and concept, though some of the levels have unnecessary buttons or areas that are a little strange. |
| Oct 12 21:23:43 | 37h 53m | Crawloop | ♥ 1 | That was neat. It would have benifited from some sort of key repeat though, because especially on later levels you have to basically mash the arrow keys. |
| Oct 15 04:08:47 | 54h 45m | Tempus Locus | ♥ 2 | Totally the most interesting take on "puzzle platformer with time travel" I've seen. Very cool. |
| Oct 19 20:01:19 | 111h 52m | VintageTime | ♥ 0 | Very nice game! As everyone else has said, you really need a restart button. This feels like it has a lot of room for expansion, especially with the more complicated puzzles that show up in the latter levels. |
