LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Periphery by agentparsec 2020-10-05T19:45:26Z

Dude I've loved that game! The level design is flawless and the gameplay was really catchy. I've liked so much when I realize that the "energized loop" was anitmated by the song beat, it really adds a cool atmosphere.

The only thing that I can complain is that the "red walls" animation made me kind of dizzy, I suggest that you make them a little bit slower.

But as notanimposter said, I wish there were more 20 levels, however, for a Game Jam, it was a perfect amount.

Twist Turn Shoot Burn by gamepopper 2020-10-05T19:27:45Z

Really really cool!! I love that "rush" atmosphere that the game gave me. I dind't reallize at first if i had to kill the red thing or collect it, however I feel like this is my fault.

I get a little bit frustrated when I tryied to kill the enemy in a "curve" but I ended up dying because the the projectiles did not go on the enemy direction.

Add some new mechanics (directional shots, powerups, etc) and make a full game out of it, i'll would love to spend some hours in it!

That Time I Was Held Hostage By Some Loop, So I Followed The Road And I Was Fine by alaah 2020-10-06T17:58:33Z

Dude I've loved that game, don't be so strict with yourself! When I read your description I expected waaay less, but the voice acting was super cool and your art style is very charming, besides the invisible walls, this is a >4 game! Very nice work!

The Myth of Sisyphos by gilborn 2020-10-05T20:14:36Z

Neat graphics and awsome catch on the theme! Here's some of my sugestions to improve:

-As Corporation said I've became a little bit bored by the 4th-5th time, a progression sense should be awesome to complement. -Put a "restart" button into the game, I really miss it when I died :cry: -Make the rock also kills Sisyphos somehow (smashing him, maybe?) it would really bring some dificulty improvement to the game.

But anyways, this is a relly nice game, well done!

Stuck in a Portal by Dr_V 2020-10-05T01:10:35Z

Man, that's a nice idea and a great execution!

I know it's hard make things like that in such a short time, however, if you want to improve to a post LD game, here's some of my sugestions:

-Create an "in game" tutorial;

-Be careful with the camera limits, sometimes we can see the blue Unity background before the generation of new tiles and through the "main world" walls;

-I think it's kinda obvious but, waaay more visual appeal (that's not really an issue, but something to think aboyt);

-Set more specific goals;

But dude, nice game you have there!

The Deja Brew by drprettypatty 2020-10-05T01:56:46Z

That's a really really fun one! I've liked so much your add to the theme and i've get so involved in the narrative that i totally miss the time (and had to look your hint, shame on me).

Some things to add to a full game:

-Improvement of the player movement (I think i'm not the only one complaining about, but in any case, hope it'll be improved);

-Some charachters variations (diferent animations, models, etc);

-More friendly UI, the text is kind of "blinking" on the screen, even in the playable version.

Anyways, nice one!

Prison of the Dream Weaver by candlesan 2020-10-05T04:48:10Z

Really funny game!! On beginning I thought that the projectiles were farts xD

I've really enjoyed that mix of cards-game with TBOI. My only critiscim is about the Graphics and the first movement velocity and projectile speed, I thing bouth should set up to higher values.

Btw, well done!!!

Spinnerets by Jeremy Ryan 2020-10-05T01:43:43Z

WOW! THAT'S A 10/10 ONE!

I've played with my brother and we played like 8 to 10 rounds and having a blast!

Seriously, get a full game out of it!

My sugestion is just improve the wall colliders, add some other maps and special powers, but, really really nice work!

Stuck in a loop by change 2020-10-05T04:22:59Z

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!

METAESCAPE by KeySole 2020-10-06T17:32:42Z

I've loved the fit on the theme however the color scheme made me feel a lttle bit deezy. The "step on black" part needs to be polished once you keep falling on the skybox when you fail.

But anyways, nice work!

A Game of Chance by Axefall 2020-10-05T05:04:04Z

I love games like this (Stanley's Parable, Gone Home..), despite dev claiming to be "without time" I think we have a potential here!

My only criticism here goes to the fact that.... I want some cheese now....

Stuck in an inner tube! by UkuleleFury 2020-10-05T02:07:39Z

Man I really like these "Icy Tower Like" games, and this one was not an exception. Great play on words, a real case of "doing a game that I want in a GameJam with theme that I didn't like", hahahahahaha.

However, just some things that I can suggest to improve your game:

-The movement is waaaay fast, consider leving more "organic" -The bounciness as well -There's an "V-SYNC" problem when changing patterns, we can see a line between them

Besides, nice work!

Orbit by Johan Alexandersson 2020-10-05T03:36:22Z

Yay, finally some PICO-8 game! I've had enjoyed the game at the beginning, but won't take to long to get a little bit boring, I think it's because the main objective is not really established. Besides that, I'll always enjoy a nice space shooter like that!

Loop Invader by ZwodahS 2020-10-05T03:49:09Z

Nice game, I've really enjoyed the enemies types and the level balance was pretty cool, a gem for the genre!

ZBX 9800 by Jonathanfdr 2020-10-05T03:41:50Z

@ale Dude, I've loved that idea!! I should have thought that before, but for post L.D, thanks a lot! @doomerismo I think what @ale suggested would fix that, thank you guys for the feedbacks :smile:

ZBX 9800 by Jonathanfdr 2020-10-06T12:19:59Z

@jimbly Ugh, sorry for that 16:10 monitor issue, I managed to test only on 16:9 but thanks for letting me know (btw, the last level didn't have a exit anyway xD). About the disable of some categories, I did it because I don't think it was good enough, so I didn't want to waste voters time thinking how to grade me on something "not that good", but I've made all the assets myself. As this is my first LD, I didn't know about this "0.8 game" thing, so next time, I'll enable everything, even if I didn't like that much. Thanks for the quality feedback, you're awesome!

Milk Store by Dinoraz 2020-10-05T01:30:48Z

Wow, I've actually enjoyed that game, when I take a look to my victories was like "31", but I really really don't know if I get all "variations", love the dino, the cow and the buggy but man....what did I miss???

Besides, I think you should get an improvement on graphics and make a big game out of it, with many variations as possible.

Nice one!!!!

Grind by ChickenCastle 2020-10-05T02:31:51Z

Nice catching on the theme! Really good choice on level design, however, that stupid onion keeps me blocked 2 or 3 times. You where sucessful in many aspects of this game, but one I should congratulate you is the "leaderboards" as "employees of the month" (I assume that you're not the first one, it will be really unfair! haha)

For the post L.D i suggest that you change the colliders to be more friendly with the environment, and I don't know the others, but I can't fix the "overheating servers" at all :cry:

Anyways, a really good game you have there!

Escape! by toby1645 2020-10-05T19:57:11Z

Good job! I've liked your game very much, however I feel that I can add one thing or two to improve it: -Male the player collider to be on his foot, it's really annoying (and not the kind o annoying that the game purposes to be part of it) when you "step" in a tile with your head; -Add some more animations to the player; -The puzzles needs to be a little bit more difficult to solve then dependent on "skill"; -Make some more rooms and publish it on newgrounds, I'll love to play more of it!

Lonely UFO by NicoCcino 2020-10-06T17:46:46Z

Yay, my highscore was 379 (not that good I know, but I'm terrible at these kind of games). I've loved the fit on the theme and the merge between skill and puzzle. The song started cool but at the end made me feel a little bit bored, so I've had to turned off. But anyway, nice submit! 3.png

The Road Taken by sriram070 2020-10-05T04:06:07Z

Since this is your first Game Jam is fair enough make mistakes, but I think I've should tell you them, so you can improve your next one!

-Without a reset button I've had to close and open your game to clear my failed attempt;

-I didn't understand why you called it "loop" a thing that is clearly only a clone, if it's just to fit the theme, you should've know that the theme is only an "direction", not mandatory;

-I've played the same levels about 3 time to make sure that was no "plot" involved, so I think you should've establish an end to the game, otherwise people will vote as "incomplete"

Anyways, it was a good attempt, wish you good luck!

Stunt Bike 0 by Mastasurf 2020-10-05T00:51:56Z

Nice view of the theme, I like these kind of games that you have to throw yourself away. However I didnt see a real "purpose" in the game, I think if you set the goal to "jump farthest you can" it would be cooler. But for the first Jam, nice work dude! :smile:

Millenniloop by nerdytopic 2020-10-05T02:52:37Z

Hey, great game! I was playing and when I was with like +$10000 I've questioned myself "is there an ending?", but then I realise..... art imitates life.... haha

One thing I can sugest to you is to add some different incomes with different values asw.

Anyway, great game! :smile:

In The Loop by Luc-creationallabs 2020-10-05T03:16:55Z

Dude, 10/10, the best i've played so far. Seriously, everyone that wants to join a Game Jam should have lessons with you about keeping it simple and level design. I'm speachless, really, really good job.

proceed by anchorlight 2020-10-05T19:14:17Z

Man I love the aesthetic of your game, the death scene is so beautiful that made me want turn it into my wallpaper, haha. The mysteryous atmosphere is also pretty cool.

The only one thing that I can complain is that when I played the first time, I didn't noticed that the game was started and the ball fall back to the death.

But really a 5/5 game!

The timekiller by Lichead studio 2020-10-07T14:54:50Z

The sprites are really beautiful and the "attack" well implemented. However, I found the audio kind of annoying and the game too short, but hey, nice job!

Russian Pensioner Simulator by Yagir 2020-10-04T15:12:12Z

That's one really really interesting view to the theme. And man, pensioners had the same stereotype even in the other side of the globe. About the gameplay, i felt a little bit stuck, buuuut, it really fits with the premise. One thing that I really miss was a "how to play". It would really help me to don't die at "super sonic speed" as already said. In a nutshell, really moody game!

HarmonyMaybe by Kevin Du 2020-10-05T02:42:42Z

Man, I don't want to be annoying or unfair but... I didn't understand what i'm supposed to do in your game (and I've tryied 3 times), i tried to click anywhere following the beat or the color pulse, but always get a messed up song :cry:

If you can explain it a little bit more I'll be thankful!

Unfinished by glao 2020-10-05T19:47:46Z

Hope you can make it next time =/

Dwarven Delve by fronwewq 2020-10-05T03:25:39Z

Nice game you have there, i've really enjoyed!!

The only problem is that i can't always pull a col/row when some enemy on the conveyor is near (not in front, but near)

Seriously, consider make a full game to post on Newgrounds or Armor Games!

Rotator by Alex Sherman 2020-10-05T15:03:45Z

I can't pass the 4th level, thats kind of frustrating :cry:

But from what I've played, didn't see a connection with the theme and the gameplay was a lttle bit confusing.

But hey, good job!
