Nice game ! Despite being a short game, the last stage is really hard. I am not sure If I overthink it or I accidentally stumbled into a solution.

Would love to see more puzzles.

Well done! Enjoyed all 6 levels! This game had an incredible ramp up process, you had a lot of mechanics to explain, and you explained them all quite succinctly! The one thing that I thought was missing was a button to go back to the last level. I clicked 'next' on accident once, and had to restart the game in order to play the level I had skipped.

Any chance of a Mac or Web build? I would love to give the game a try, but only have a Mac at my disposal

I've got a similar idea to my game (check it out if you want :smiley:), and man, your execution is flawless, i'm giving you a 5/5 in almost every rating, despite what ZwodahS said, I think you chose a really good quantity of levels, the amount enought to show us how good your idea and implementation was!

If I was you, I wouldn't wait to send one full version of this game to Newgrounds or Armor Games!

@tolmera Uploaded web build,has some screen adaptation issue,you need run in fullscreen mode.

Cool game concept, could think of a Mobile build to play that on my way to work :v: like that game!

@zwodahs Thank you!The last level first introduce door and switch,but it more difficult than introduce,so its easy to get stuck.I publih all answers here. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/stuck-in-a-loop-1/ld-47-stuck-in-a-loop-answers

Pretty sure my last stage have a different answer than yours :D. I think I brute forced it lol ....

Wow! Cool game, almost has the same core mechanics as mine, but in my one the commands you give gets repeated... It took me quite some time to get it finished. Nice level design. :smile:

@jonathanfdr Thank you! I check you game and rate it. I have never use Newgrounds and Armor Games, not familiar with them.

Love this mechanic! It has so much potential! Would be much better if you could add some background music!

I spent much longer on this than many other games. Everything is very polished and complete feeling. One minor bug, if is possible to delete the first fixed instruction and then you can't get it back.

Interesting concept, cool design

Really clever puzzle game - I like it a lot! It's really cool how the simple mechanics lead to such complex puzzles - awesome stuff :D

tjm 2020-10-06 17:45

Neat game; the idea of programmable agents pushing each other around is an interesting one, I suspect it would be possible to make a lot of good puzzles out of it. As it is you've got enough here to demonstrate all the mechanics very clearly, so :thumbsup:!

I did have some minor issues with the web build (unrelated to full screen); the first two times I tried it (Chrome on Windows) it didn't register keyboard input even after clicking on it. On the third refresh it was fine, though? No idea.

thewinrawr 2020-10-07 04:37

The concept is super creative and the levels really make your brain work! You've expanded on the core mechanic really well and the level progression is good too. Great job!

foursay 2020-10-07 12:48

The concept really reminds me of the GMTK gamejam this year, and the theme is "out of control". I guess one of the game has a very similar design with your game. Nevertheless you truly make it your own style and I enjoy the game really much. Congrats!

✔️ The simple main mechanic led to some very interesting and challenging puzzles.

✔️ Game is easy to learn but hard to master.

✔️ Lots of supporting mechanics to help keep things fresh.

➖ Could have used some more levels.

One of the best LD47 entry I have seen! Nice work!

nethead 2020-10-09 14:11

very interesting mechanic and the visuals are very clear/polished! good work~

jimbly 2020-10-10 14:01

The mechanics were a very pleasant surprise after playing 3 other identical-looking instruction-programming games here ^_^. I was surprised my commands weren't executed in a loop, though it does make the levels more interesting.

Some levels feel weirdly (though satisfyingly) trial and error rather than puzzle out a clever solution, but that's probably fine.

I like the minimalistic graphics.
