LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Johnny Lootem's Going Loopy! by Mr_Field 2020-10-13T17:53:57Z

Cool game, it's great tribute to classical retrogames, but with more bright colors and much more happening on the screen, so we could call it fantasy about what retrogames could be if you timetravel :) You even used right font. Game is difficult at first, but feels very smooth, so clearly with some practice it can be beaten, especially when you learn some patterns or learn what upgrades do. Good job!

Dodge Da Beat by crazyrems 2020-10-12T22:02:58Z

Simple enjoyable game, I didn't realized that you can slide under, so I've tried to jump hurdles. Physics are ok, but camera could be improved to be more attached to character. Good luck

Etracyte by bentglasstube 2020-10-12T11:47:26Z

I'm not sure that I understand what I need to do, but I have fun running around, until I ran out of jetpack fuel. Nice work on character pixel art and on intro! Good luck.

Solar Edge by mar3k 2020-10-12T01:57:18Z

Neat game, definitely a keeper on my computer. I haven't beat it yet, but difficulty feels alright. Fantastic graphics there, and I guess some astronaut-inspired guitar cover :)

SnowTrip by GlacierEclipse 2020-10-11T17:52:39Z

So, this is Bottomless-lite.

waveloop by radmars 2020-10-11T20:07:22Z

Awesome game, I've started without reading controls, with some noice, and was impressed by what it builds up to. Nice job.

Hamster Tank by elemel 2020-10-11T17:58:00Z

Hillarious game, hope you will continue working on it. Hamsters power, rawrr

BØNE LOOP by Disco_Pope 2020-10-13T21:50:53Z

This is fantastic game, It was stunning experience, just from menu, literally every new room throw my jaw off, it even has underwater level! The only complain is that mages fire very rarely and dont present a treat, and may be some plot is missing. Great entry!

Looplex by aviv871 2020-10-12T20:53:18Z

Well I've beat game, not without hints, at first I thought it was needed to repeat all the steps, but then I realized you need to save time and use knowledge you already have. Nice around puzzle game, good graphics and music. Thumbs up!

Solar Spinner by benbennett 2020-10-11T17:12:51Z

"No Mr.Bond I expect you to die!"

ShroomRoom by Likirus 2020-10-11T18:31:22Z

Great relaxing board game, may be a bit easy, and I was expecting you can keep some unused cards for next hand.

Loopark by Tex Killer 2020-10-12T21:12:03Z

I've enjoyed this little game, took me couple of attempts to beat 2nd level. Nice work.

Aeternum by Wabble 2020-10-11T20:10:08Z

Very clever take on the theme. Got some Tron vibe.

magic Ice husky save the squad from a whirlpool and narwhals by MoseGames 2020-10-11T19:24:32Z

Well, that was random and unexpected, brought me smile.

Temporium by Untitled Studios 2020-10-10T13:51:16Z

@untitled-studios could you please check your Windows archive? I think it's copy of Mac one.

Temporium by Untitled Studios 2020-10-11T17:28:33Z

@untitled-studios thanks, enjoyed your game so far, especially voice-over! Good brain exertise.

Seeker by NateTheGreat 2020-10-12T09:47:48Z

Lovely exploration game, reminds of some flash games of the 2000s. Running naked in the grass and whistling was a funny twist to minecraftish style.

Neverending partyween by imod 2020-10-13T21:26:31Z

Very cute looking game, nice characters, animations, fantastic soundtrack. Maybe 2 min timer is a bit short, considering there are so many text you managed to put into this game. Good luck.

UFO taxi! by island-jam-2-group-3 2020-10-12T11:36:08Z

Very creative game, good take on theme. Nice introduction to mechanics. Would love to see more levels.

LoopyPong by Fenderbate 2020-10-12T23:52:41Z

Very nice approach to theme, enjoyed gameplay, nice music and sound effects, clean simple art, and liked phases of the boss - especially when you have to forget what you've just learned, and adapt. Nice work!

Orbit Jumper by Bentekiller 2020-10-12T21:48:51Z

Nice idea, I agree that game is pretty hard, or it's just my aim isn't that good as in old days. Beautiful music, sounds, and decent visual style. Good luck.

Anne's Topological Adventure by schsam 2020-10-13T20:09:59Z

Nicely done puzzle. I have played until moebius so far and it plays like a breeze, with lot of "thats how it solved" moments. Distinctive art that helps to understand what objects are, many clever levels - nice work.

Shadow ▲○■ by Mountday 2020-10-12T23:06:56Z

Very pleasant looking game. I was totally surprised, by screenshots I was expecting card battler. I was even more surprised when I found that character can move during battle. Abilities are cool, but may be can be used too freely (turns taking too long between switching sides). Also captured cards are dissapear if I click on base one. Overall, that's looking like good start, if you're gonna continue working on idea.

Rock Bottom Serfdom by upcharlie 2020-10-12T01:09:41Z

Game looking majestic, being three-D, but gameplay feel not much so. Anyway good luck with future UE projects!

Synthætica by ixchow 2020-10-11T20:25:27Z

Very original game, Jupiter Lander meets Guitar Hero.

Before It Loops by SeezoGames 2020-10-11T19:11:31Z

Nice cute game, great simple art style, I think this game has some potential if you continue working on it.

Dragon Loop by JustusPan 2020-10-13T19:19:04Z

Little relaxing game, I like shock intro by 1st dragon and then you have 2 weeks to grow stronger, but after that it become too easy, I'm not sure if DEF or HP mattered at all, may be make Dragons progress on exponential curve or something. Overall, very cute game.

The Daily Grind by Basileios 2020-10-11T19:28:43Z

Superb graphics. As for poor man, I hope he will be promoted some day so he'll get Z's too.

LittleBot's puzzling loops by NorthMan64 2020-10-12T11:25:20Z

Classical take on the theme, nice puzzles there. Was surprised that command rotated world, and not robot.

Chrono Curse by Hermitao 2020-10-12T10:33:02Z

That is great feat for 72hrs we have here! Awesome pace - music and visual effects create impression of game being very fast, but actually you can dodge anything with right timing. There are some minor problems like flashlight working through walls or sometimes too tight passageways - but they are forgiveable. Cool boss abilities. Definitely see potential here, would like to see some more powerups, weapons, eneimes. I haven't played too long - wondering if you can do something with floating light orb.

SwingShot: Stuck in a musical loop by Pepijn 2020-10-13T14:05:13Z

Great rythm game, I've enjoyed first levels, however I give up on spikes, but I believe it is doable with some determination. Good work! P.s. simple but very nice art style.

Loops of the Past by MelancholicTeapot 2020-10-12T01:35:25Z

This is really nice looking and interesting game. Only thing I didn't figured out, is that slimes move at random or depending on player movement.

Loop of Death by Ryano 2020-10-12T11:07:13Z

Nicely done simple game, controls were responsive and physics is good.

Line of Attack by dans17 2020-10-13T23:12:18Z

Very interesting idea, I liked how you have to plan timing (or be faced with swords). I too noticed too much sensivity while drawing loops in web version, not sure if that was intended to symbolize fast sword movements or something. Good work!

Composers Block by sampadders 2020-10-12T21:34:45Z

Nice music game, with my experience it was easy, however I tried to find octave switcher on second tier, until I've realized that just note name is needed to match. Good luck.

Mandala Spa by Danielcmcg 2020-10-13T19:55:09Z

Beautiful game! At first I found controls unintuitive (nothing was drawn), but after looking at examples you provided, I have grasped concept - you have to connect rules in the loop with themselves, and it works like a plotter or Logo turtle language. Actually it's quite hard to get all timings right, you have to calculate that their sum divisible at some common number! Sharing my result so far, I really enjoyed time spent with this game. 15454Untitled.png

walk. by tutoa 2020-10-12T10:08:46Z

Great concept, great art and sound. And great moral of the story.

Break the Cycle by Nate Wert 2020-10-12T09:55:01Z

Cute simple game which happens to be a bit more depth than appeared at first.

The Calamity Coil by WobbleBlocks 2020-10-12T01:53:04Z

Wasn't expecting DS-style game in such tight competition. It's plays really smooth.

Ouroboros by JoeDev 2020-10-11T20:37:46Z

Interesting game with permanent pressure, with some Indiana Johnes vibe.

Ufomen Ride Again by Samps 2020-10-12T22:28:45Z

Solid planet-golf-like game. First of all, congrats on making it as a whole! Music is great, art is simple, but shade on planets giving them nice touch. Clever levels with several different mechanics. What could be improved - instant restart with button, some guide aim for mouse, and may be camera zooming out when spaceship flies out. Keep up good work!

Bloop by Harmadillo 2020-10-12T01:27:15Z

I've enjoyed this not complicated puzzle. Wish there was more levels, also, Knights would be good for this kind of games.

Loop Dream by ZoeAgxn 2020-10-13T21:13:04Z

Nice concept, I guess just need more practice to get used to it.

Shifting Edge by DaFluffyPotato 2020-10-10T13:34:24Z

Lovely art, strikes right into heart. As for game, it's difficult, but feels like done right.

Dryad's Quest by Cyborg Studio 2020-10-11T19:46:47Z

This game invokes memories, pixel hunting games of 90's. Art style is gorgeous!

Parry knight by kekovillablanca 2020-10-13T17:44:26Z

Beautiful art, game movement is smooth, but combat really occurs at too close distance. Also camera not always show you who shooting at you. I've managed to defeat some purple thing in rightmost room, but double jump isnt enough to get out, may be I missed some in the beginning of the map. I've enjoyed this game. It feels like some old games like shadow of the beast.

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-10T09:53:43Z

@snailrhymer thanks for feedback!

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-10T13:29:54Z

@gonzalol Thank you for feedback!

@blood-jackal23 @sanojian I agree controls need more work, thank you!

@enad96 Definitely we will release post-LD imrpoved version! Thanks!

@nsadie Thank you!

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-10T13:31:51Z

@kr4ft3r Here's the tip - when you jump, character lands on her hand. In that moment, you can alter her jump so she goes higher or lower. You may need to step back to give her more space to jump.

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-11T23:16:27Z

@wabble thanks for feedback! We started working on post-LD version so it will have more levels

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-11T23:36:27Z

@melhem-fares thank you! Controls definitely will be improved

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-12T17:05:45Z

@food-lovers Thank you for feedback. Now I see that idea of character "stuck in the loop" of jumping took too far. :)

Ayumi's Day by Capt.Theo 2020-10-13T22:00:51Z

@andre-sadie thanks for feedback! I feel you, I'm playing other's games and sometimes want to flip table

@dans17 thanks you, Initial idea was something along the lines, but I didnt managed to stuff several paths into screen to make it work - may be in post-LD version when I have time!

@kaafirookie thank you, yes it is inspired by many old games, not PoP in particular.

@asfdfdfd I feel sorry for you, was it at fallen vase? I had some stucks in development but tried to eliminate most of them

@island-jam-2-group-3 Thank you! I was planning for more screens, there are even trampolines in code, but unfortunately ran out of time.

A Clean Getaway by notanimposter 2020-10-12T23:23:23Z

Very good written story, I almost immediately felt where it going, and it become sad, but there is a hope (not for humanity, tho). As for game, it is very simple, I'd say its VN genre. Art is simple but pleasant, and robot has great personality. Good work.

LoopingAges - LD47 by MorpheusZero 2020-10-11T18:14:25Z

At first I was scared when I saw it's clicker game, but you've got pace of the game exactly right! Good work.

Stealth Line by HippolyteA 2020-10-12T20:32:57Z

Good game with strong concept, and solid level. At first I was thinking it is hard, but quickly defined route which lead to victory in several tries, I'm not sure what happened next, other survivors just ran straight to the exit. Would like to see more levels or variations. Good luck.

Mom! I've got a job! by Food Lovers 2020-10-12T17:16:39Z

Fantastic art, beautiful music, cute voiceover. Characters designs are really great. Game plays smooth, with some minor issues already mentioned by others (The only thing I would add is some fences instead of invisible walls). Great job!

Shrinking Space by Siddharth 2020-10-12T21:28:13Z

Cool game, all around - music, sounds, visual, pace, controls. May be a little bit sensitive, but thats it. Effect when your back is heating hit the right spot.

Crawloop by SH80 2020-10-11T19:39:35Z

Cute puzzle game, actually I like that you can observe whole level and see your goal without running there and back

Last Night in France by halfboltGames 2020-10-12T09:35:36Z

Awesome art and music. Controls were quite unforgiving, but with enough practice I was able to beat stage. I have looked into hints, but honestly all that could be figured out by player himself. Nice entry.
