LD47 — Stuck in a loop

BLOOP by danman9914 2020-10-05T09:48:16Z

Can't open the App file on my Mac, might try in different OS later

Very satisfying machine gun and splatter/fragment effects! The "procedurally bad music" is actually quite fitting, and all the more awesome for being generated (on the fly?). The pacing is good and sound effects are nice.

All in all, great work, although the theme is a bit thin. Firefox worked fine for me.

Nuclear Loop by Gorr 2020-10-05T10:26:00Z

I enjoyed the gun, both the option and the graphics. The reactors didn't please me, but the puzzles were good :) Nice game

Dragon Loop by JustusPan 2020-10-05T10:12:47Z

Really good work. The talking sound is fun, I'd have given score for audio if you allowed.

Sometimes had issues with not being able to click the dragon while I received damage. That was the only issue I had, other than that, cool concept!

Labyrinth Looper by RegularSalamander 2020-10-05T09:36:32Z

This is pretty well done! The ever-changing maze and the limited vision is pretty cool.

The game seems pretty bland after a while, but the pickup of the sudden light-source made me put in an extra bunch of minutes.

The score counter is really nice :D

DUDU-DU-DUU The controls are maybe a bit too slippery, but other than that, a really well done entry!

Art is really cute and well done, the music is relaxing and the puzzles are well done. The back-and-forth interaction is cool and the small bits of text are well thought out to steer mechanics :)

Who doesn't love some dramatic organ pipes!

The Trade Secret by Milestone Games 2020-10-05T10:33:24Z

Great implementation of the loop theme. Too bad we can't follow more of the story, but really well done with what's there

The Trade Secret by Milestone Games 2020-10-05T12:45:37Z

I'd say the game concept shows promise, and you have the art and story-telling mechanics for it. If you still have to smash windows after 30min's of play, the loop-mechanic might just do with something new :P

For me, the Mac App just shows a fullscreen grey background with a mouse cursor and nothing else. Might try on another OS later

Sinner's Hotel by ElllaDee 2020-10-05T10:35:10Z

Solid entry with nice graphics and some twisted humor. Good implementation of the loop theme and a really nice soundtrack

Myself by iDunnyX 2020-10-05T09:41:20Z

The first time the lightning sound came gave me a shock.. Maybe I was just dozing a little. But the mood is pretty cool in this one, the darkness, tentactly background, etc. Could have used a background music track.

Other than that, the platformer seemed pretty unoriginal.

Space Police Simulator Platinum by Future Labs Unlimited 2020-10-05T12:41:51Z

Basically like being a real officer, on a space-platform, yeah? Pretty simple mechanics, but it kinda works.

Even after being pelted to oblivion multiple times, you just want to find out what describes the next baddie :)

The Loop, the Fat and the Rusty by Hydrasil 2020-10-05T11:28:10Z

Thanks for trying! Now that you mention it, I probably shouldn't have compiled it under a rolling-release linux distro without looking back.

Good note for future submissions.

The Loop, the Fat and the Rusty by Hydrasil 2020-10-05T11:46:51Z

Great job, nice outplay :D I get that, though coding in Rust didn't seem so ill-adviced as you might think. (Compile-times tho..) The problem was more one of lack of fully-fledged framework and lacking documentation. Also, you get so many things for free in some other languages/frameworks that scope in Rust must be different/smaller. But a cool challenge none the less.
