I really like this game - such a great idea and the art style is very charming. The sound effects and narration really add to the experience. I also appreciate the triple jump :)
Cool game! Simple and to the point, which I love - I had to come back for multiple tries after I died. I did wish you would eventually run into more campfires/places to sleep on your loop, because I would go too far out and not be able to make it back in time. Also, picking up the rabbits seemed to risky compared to the berries, as you have to go back to the start and you can't swap it out for berries. But overall, the game is really well executed and a complete experience - nice work!
This game is just gorgeous. I adore the character design, and the music is just fantastic. Gameplay is very nice as well! It did lag a bit in a few places, but other than that no complaints. Fantastic work.
Nice game! I like the pixel art a lot, and the concept is really cool. I'm not sure I quite understand the transitions between the levels - the enemy players kept moving around (and sometimes scored) after the counter reached zero on a few occasions. But other than that I really enjoyed it, nice work.
The art is really nice! I love that the cowboy animates separately from the horse, gives it a nice fluid touch. The gameplay is really great also - it did take me a bit to realise that you had to click to direct the cows, but once I understood I actually really like that mechanic. Sadly, one of the cows glitched through the barrier for me so I couldn't get them all back to the barn. Overall, a really nice game - and very impressive for the time you had!
Very lovely artstyle and animations. I really liked the way the 'stuck in a loop' theme was interpreted by falling through the forest. I agree with the other comments about the worms - I kept dying to them and in the end I gave up. Perhaps if there was a way to refill your health it would be fairer?
Fun game! I'm bad at platformers, so I did find it a bit challenging for my taste. In level one, the section near the end where you have to make a series of jumps became very frustrating - but I got through it eventually. That aside, it is very fun - the snowballs momentum feels great. It was a bit strange that there was no music in level 1, but there was after that. Also, a start screen would be nice (even just text on black background). But overall, it's a very good game.
Nice game! The visuals are great, and the main menu and tutorial are really nice and polished. The sun moving to other planets was quite choppy. I also found I just had to wait for the planet to turn pink and then move off - perhaps a little variation in the colour change would keep things challenging. But overall, it's a cool game and a great idea for the theme.
Umm, this is incredible. Don't know what else to say really -! (Art - amazing, gameplay - fantastic, weirdness - perfect).
I guess the only thing is the mouse click/drag is inverted, which is a little off-putting at first - but it takes you no time to get used to it. And more dude variety would be great, of course - but the ones that are in there are just fantastic lol
Wow, this is really cool. I had heaps of fun messing around with it! The visuals are great as well - love the shadows that cast when you draw something.
Only note I have is it's not very obvious how to create the bouncers etc - I tried clicking and dragging and dropping from the menu before I realised you had to 'draw' them. Perhaps it would benefit from a quick tutorial at the start - but then again it didn't take that long to figure it out.
Not too sure it fits with the theme, other than trying to get the ball stuck in a loop as you say. Maybe there could have been puzzle levels where that was the goal? Not that it really matters - it is a really great game (or rather tool/program?)
Great vibes - simple but really enjoyable. The music worked great with it! Like others said, the game does get a bit laggy when there's a lot of particles on screen. Overall though I enjoyed it a lot!!
Very cute dino - I like him a lot. All the mechanics are great, making for a really nice platformer! Like others, the wall jump did seem a bit off to me and the world-rotation was quite jarring, but overall a really great game.
I had a lot of fun with this game - I kept coming back to it even though I kept dying (I am not very good at platformers!).
From a design standpoint, I did find the floating platforms to be a little out of place in the realistic looking environment - perhaps if they had temple walls or something surrounding them. Also, the bats looked a bit strange hovering in place - it may be better if they moved around, or otherwise replaced with something else (the classic spike?).
Also, the jump felt bit like moon gravity was on - admitedly fun, but not really keeping with the environment. I found something a little off about the camera as well - I thought it may have been too low, although reading the other comments it may have just been too much motion blur.
Despite all that, I really did enjoy my time with the game so great job!
Beautiful game. The transitions between gameplay/death etc are incredibly well done, and along with the very well-chosen music makes the mood and atmosphere of this game just fantastic.
I did find the loop very hard to control, but I'm sure with a bit more practice you could really get into the rhythm of it. I liked the minimalist style of the tutorial, but I think it could be improved by showing exactly what each button does (also, I couldn't work out to get out of it - I ended up just hitting escape to go back to the menu. I think I was supposed to follow the arrows, but I couldn't control the loop well enough at that stage to do that haha).
Great game! I really like dimension shifting, and the atmosphere created by the music and pixel art is fantastic. I did find the one hit death was a bit frustrating - I wouldn't mind it if there was checkpoints, but having to do the same thing again became a bit much. Apart from that, I really enjoyed it! Great work.
(I got the fatal error twice but after restarting a third time it worked no issue.)
Awesome concept, and really fun! Great work, no complaints here (except maybe that the music is stuck in my head now after how many times I kept resetting lol)
Graphics and music are really nice! Perfect for the game.
This idea is fantastic - however after a few seconds, all the agents disappear on me. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug, but it's a shame because what I did see was really cool!
A really cool mechanic! The graphics are adorable as well - I love the lil dwarf friends. The way forward at the beginning of the game could be marked a little clearer - I somehow ended up on the outside of the level the first time I played. But once I worked that out (you go through the gap in the trees), I really enjoyed the game.
I love the style of this game! The animation between the mini-games is brilliant. Also, the games themselves are fun and perfectly on-theme. My favourite is the spinny-rocket one (the sound effects makes it, lol)
Cool concept! The emojis work great for the game - I like how each line of emojis is related to the object you control.
A very small quality of life thing - I played in my browser using the arrow keys - I would have liked the 'next level/try again button' to be triggered using space bar/etc. rather that having to click on it.
That aside, I enjoyed the game, and I can see especially how it would be great on mobile!
Really fun! The first level is very well done - I love how you can see almost immediately what's going on and how to fix it. My only thought is the second level may be a bit hard compared to how simple the first one is - although that might just be because I'm bad at it lol. Even so, I couldn't stop playing, so nice work!
Really enjoyed it! The 'loop' is simple (I agree, big Among Us vibes!), but I found myself compelled to keep playing to see what would come next. Really nice pixel art - suits the game wonderfully. My only small nitpick is the walk cycle seems a little slow compared to the movement speed, but that's me being picky.

It is a bit confusing at first, but I think that works for the game (once you've read the mannual it is simple to figure out).
The music and sound effects are great - really sets the atmosphere.

The Looping Legend by PronomicalArtist 2020-10-05T04:06:15Z ♥ 0
As you say, it is quite hard - I only managed to kill a few enemies. But trying to master the spinning plane and dodge the bullets is a fun challenge.
The attention to detail on the enemy planes as they are damaged is great.
One small thing - when you restart the game, the music seems to shut out.
But overall I really enjoyed it!
