Cool idea, and not that easy, i did sometimes feel that the moment i made was replayed wider or longer but that is probably because i was not good enough at it. ALso nice relaxing background music

Really cool idea! I think the tolerance for error could be a little bigger but really cool game nonetheless

Port it to mobile, please. It would probably need extra work, but boy, it would be perfect and relaxing on short toilet sessions on mobiles. :smiley:

About the game, it is simple, it is addictive, it is such a good entry with relaxing mood! GJ!

I enjoyed this game! It was simple and presented in a really cheery and playful manner. You managed to pull off simple without it being too simplistic. The puzzles actually felt difficult, I had to stop and really think about a few of them, which I don't often see in puzzle games made so quickly, so well done!! The gameplay was really smooth too, I noticed no bugs or errors whilst going through it. My only problem with this game is that the levels are BIG, which makes them really difficult. This could be just me being bad at these types of games, as I have played similar ones before and I am not good at them, but with how large they were, even the tiniest pixel-perfect detail led to me failing, and certain levels took minutes to complete watching the path. This didn't detract too much from the experience however, and I still had a great time with the game.

The player gets offset a little bit every time he touches one of the points. Seeing as you made this in Unity, making the collider for the points would probably make the game a lot more forgiving.

Still an amazing game, especially considering this is your first Ludum Dare entry. Good job!

Cool idea and aesthetics. It took me a while to understand the mechanics, but when I understood I found it clever. It felt a little clunky and the level design could be improved. Overall nice game!

That's a very cool game! I enjoyed. Probably you could make some levels for time. So do some balance between time for level and its difficulty.

@obi-one @porcus-pie @mark-kelly Thanks for your constructive feedbacks. I still continue to develop for future purposes. I will consider your comments :))

Would love to see a WebGL version!

cinar 2020-10-05 14:47

@rhoff95 on its way! Im bit of a newbie into these things so it takes some time for me to figure out ':D

sven-lowry 2020-10-05 22:09

Great idea, but it struggled at 3840x1600, game was a bit stuttery and slow. Also struggled to complete levels because the black dot would shift slightly on each loop, so it didn't hit the future orange dots. Would be great with some polish though!

cinar 2020-10-06 05:43

@sven-lowry thanks for your constructive feedback. You are right about big screen problem im looking for a solution, probably gonna turn it to an android game.

But actually it doesnt shift in every loop. It is just really hard for the player to finish the path without shifting it. Which is a problem. But im working on it :D

Nice gamelpay, perfectly looping)

cinar 2020-10-06 20:24

@rhoff95 HTML5 is now available :))

Nice simple and smooth game, I got stuck really early tho! (Level 5)

toccio94 2020-10-06 22:40

The style is very cool, and the idea is very nice and on theme. I would have liked the gameplay to be more fluid, while it relies too much on precisely put the dot in the middle of the circles so it repeats perfectly. I stopped at level 4 for this reason.

juegoman 2020-10-06 23:03

Fun puzzles, the targets could be a bit bigger to give more tolerance for the paths that you draw. other than that it's really good!

viperux 2020-10-06 23:11

Great idea! Some of the levels are really interesting and challenging. Maybe you could put a "go faster" button to speed up LOOPY when it repeats his path.

maychant 2020-10-07 01:02

Great game! As mentioned by others, the point does not perform a loop that perfectly because it bounces back after the collision. It would help if the colliders on target points are set to triggers, so that they are not treated as solid objects.

mlkvr 2020-10-07 01:08

That was really fun definetaly would play more and more especially on mobile, good job congrats!

selftitled 2020-10-07 15:48

Interesting mechanic, bet this would work well on a touch screen, a mobile version might interesting. Its a little frustrating at the moment that the doesn't seem to complete its path totallt meaning it sometimes fails to activate the last dot. Good job, and excellent first LD entry.

gao-ming 2020-10-09 10:21

Really fitting for the theme! :) Really fun!

flying-basement-studios 2020-10-09 14:52

The idea is very cool. The graphics and music is simple but it's more than sufficient. It fits the theme very well and it's fun to play. I just had the feeling that the checkpoints were setting me off. Sometimes quite a lot. So even when the pattern that it should repeat was correct, all checkpoints weren't collected. I think it's because of the colliders of the checkpoints (they are too large). But overall it's a good entry.

cinar 2020-10-10 15:45

@flying-basement-studios Thank for your constructive feedback. You are right about the colliders. I've made a more polished mobile version. I'll publish after the voting round if you wanna check it

tomycase 2020-10-11 18:12

I like the concept a lot, the presentation is simple but effective, as some said, the trajectory loops get off by a few pixels each time, making the progression a bit random, with that fixed I'm sure it will become a very addictive game, great job

satolas 2020-10-19 02:58

Ok !!!!!!! this is so coooooool !

No really, first second in the game and You got my approval ! When I realized that the ball was redoing my mouse movements, so cool. You nailed the theme there mate :-) So satisfying to get theses little yellow balls, ultra polished, congrats mate !

+1 for the Menu. Lot of people don't take the time to do one.

satolas 2020-10-19 03:23

omg that one was tough ^^ Would be interesting to see speed runs of this game ! efcKdpjYKt.png

satolas 2020-10-19 04:11

Just finished the game it took me forever to do the "Just too easy" one. But was very cool game tho ! Thanks mate

papykent 2020-10-22 10:00

Love the concept! The minimalist aesthetics works really weel too! Trying to be precise can be a bit hard but when the loop finally do what you expect it's really satisfying! Great job!

sg-goennung 2020-10-25 17:43

Wow, the idea is really good. The minimalistic artwork and the nice sound make a great mood. Really one of the best ideas i have seen so far!
