LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Block Runner 2049 by LandoSystems 2020-10-07T11:05:15Z

Nice theme for Tetris. I had to turn off the rng because it was a bit annoying, or if you keep it there, maybe make it more rewarding if you overcome it. Not much more to comment on gameplay as it's basically tetris, but the humour, the style and the music were quite top. Very nice!

BLOBIUS by chaoclypse 2020-10-07T19:01:49Z

Really polished, original and addicting. We used similar concept for our game, and also the postprocessing. Good job! You did the whole game yourself?

Set in Stone by Sn4pi 2020-10-10T20:07:23Z

I enjoyed the shooting, but I had some issues. First, the camera could follow a bit quicker, as I had to get sometimes too close to see what was in front of me. Second, I felt the 'rewards' for restarting the loops were a bit cheap, like a game going suddenly easier on you because you suck. Would probably feel better to earn them after each loop, so you know if you beat loop1 you get X, then loop 2 Y, etc. A bit more feedback on what these items do would be nice as well (I understand in such little time is hard to do many things, just suggestions on how to improve the game further :stuck_out_tongue: )

Stuck in a portal by YANIV 2020-10-07T17:56:42Z

Great Portal version! Reached level 6 so far. The splashes are actually very helpful, nice work. Is there a GladOs cameo?

Lyza's Knot by William Derksen 2020-10-07T10:49:40Z

Very nice artwork and ambience music. Gameplay wise could have a couple more simple levels to explore the mechanics, because at level 3 there are already multiple portals. Otherwise it's actually quite solid and especially scary.

Roundabout Way by Quandtm 2020-10-07T17:49:00Z

Very polished and fun. I escaped after 40s. At first I was a bit confused by the arrow until I escaped that I understood. Good job guys!

Time Crash by Gonzalol 2020-10-07T18:52:24Z

Very polished, especially if you said you did it by yourself! I reached level 20 and it becomes a bit too hard. In any case, really good job, it's impressive!

Quivering by SandPile 2020-10-07T18:10:39Z

Lost chance to call it Robin Loop lol

I see I didn't do as well as others :(

Anyway, overall great job! Nice reference to Bubble Booble. Good gameplay and original idea.

Loophole by Laurari 2020-10-07T18:18:03Z

@nailuj29-gaming Keep trying, we reached 99 here! :laughing: Thanks @twilight-world @giordas @shosanna @hexa3 @rokevicius for the comments! Glad you enjoyed it!

Loophole by Laurari 2020-10-08T16:07:58Z

@samuli Thanks for the feedback! I like the bullet-time idea for a bullet hell type game

@csomega Getting anything over 60 is actually very hard, so congrats! :grinning: @gamedevmatt That's a huge score. Even making the patterns myself I only managed 99 so far.

Loophole by Laurari 2020-10-08T18:47:27Z

@aviv871 Thanks for the feedback! We are aware of this and will definitely be improved in next version

Loophole by Laurari 2020-10-11T10:35:13Z

Thanks everyone for the feedback! @merlinnsound Yeah, the two main things we want to improve are player movement and the patterns, adding more and making sure you cannot get stuck with an impossible pattern after a hard one. There are currently more than 10 patterns per difficulty and was hard to check all the combinations before the dealine :sweat_smile: @thekingbarry It's quite the compliment that it reminded you to SWH! I love that game

Loophole by Laurari 2020-10-11T19:02:30Z

@frigow thanks for the feedback. I have played Super Hexagon so much, I love it! This game's patterns take a lot from that game. Also, if you haven't played it, I recommend Circa Infinity :smiley: Great score btw!

Short Circuit by TevasLiutauras 2020-10-06T09:28:42Z

Best game I tried so far! Agree with @rein that sometimes you just have to wait a bit too long for some levels (reached the ones with the switches, level 6 or so), but it's really well done. Congrats!

AUTOLOOP by Kpedatte 2020-10-08T08:48:56Z

The only complain about the game is the volume, way too loud. Besides that, very well done. On one side it was satisfying to see it go by itself and making it easier, but on the other, I felt I was getting better at the game but no way to show it. Did you try the other way around? Like you are stuck in a loop and had to break free by getting more freedom by the artifacts?

Recursive Arena by Becher 2020-10-06T08:26:13Z

The game starts being really fun and challenging when green comes! We had a similar idea, but we didn't know what mechanics to make especifically, so I'm glad someone was able to make it. Really nice, congrats!

Death Loop by Spice Cabinet 2020-10-06T22:48:32Z

Nice atmosphere and gameplay is quite solid. Congrats!

Fearcle by Jupperevie 2020-10-07T18:38:46Z

It can be a bit disorienting as both sides of the train look so similar, but I enjoyed it. As many people commented, visually is quite impressive and the whole atmosphere is quite scary. Great job guys!

Alter-Nate by Codeman1010 2020-10-07T11:21:39Z

I fell quite a few times because of controls (maybe the mix of 3d and 2d made a bit more confusing) but I think if the collisions are fixed and tuned the controls a bit to make it more precise, you could get some amazing game. The rest no complain really, nice artwork, nice humour, and intriguing overall story. Well done!

Convolooption by potatopancakes 2020-10-10T21:40:12Z

One of the best games I've tried so far! Great minimalistic graphics a la Geometry Wars and great new mechanic. Really good job!

Sèk by twilight-world 2020-10-06T22:36:40Z

We did a similar concept for our game XD. The idea is fun, just way too hard and unforgiving (like others already commented). Maybe could make it smaller so you can see from further away at the beginning and getting closer and closer... and also a score and highscore. In any case, good job and congrats!

Down the Bullet Hole by Justin Klinchuch 2020-10-06T22:33:02Z

Nice twist on the Geometry Wars concept. It's quite fun! Congrats! You could try implementing mouse support for next iteration? :p

I am not a murderer by Bunkai 2020-10-07T11:12:23Z

I liked the mechanic, where you have to predict the movement (maybe the DVD logo could've been more funny for this game lol and call it don't kill the DVD or something :cd: ) A bit of work on graphics and sound and could be a nice arcade game. Congrats

Hamster Happiness by shosanna 2020-10-06T09:46:13Z

Reached 95% and not sure which combinations are left :D It's a very cute game

Disco Loop by DotSquare 2020-10-08T08:27:52Z

Got stuck in the 4th level I think with one switch and nothing to stand on it? Did I miss something? In any case, it looks and feels good, just probably needs tweaking in the progression (but I guess it's normal due to lack of time). For this version, maybe tips would've been nice... unless it's me who sucks at the game lol Good job!

Escape this testground! by chakaramba 2020-10-07T18:47:15Z

The idea is very nice, but I feel it's a bit unfair. The controls need to be a bit more precise, otherwise need more time. It has potential to be a great game. Good job!

LoopHole by PixelMoose Studio 2020-10-09T15:58:26Z

Very good job! The core gameplay is fun, but adding a couple simple things could make it way more engaging, like for example rewarding the player for chain killing at the beat without skipping or missing.

Also, I would add the 'loading' circle for the bullet cooldown on the cursor, not on the bottom right corner.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Rock Monster by Myko 2021-04-30T13:13:24Z

Really well done. We went for something similar but different mechanics. The falling down with the weight at the end was really satisfying. Balanced enough to be doable but challenging at the end. Congrats!

Dome Romantik by Rongo Matane 2021-04-30T15:52:33Z

Best game I've played so far! The simple graphics and color palette create a really nice mood that fits the theme well, and the gameplay and especially the balancing is awesome, knowing it was done in such a short time. Congrats. You'll end up in the top10 for sure.

BlaBla by Toryf 2021-04-26T22:45:37Z

Very sweet graphics and concept. I just wish had more time to read what the annoying people were saying :stuck_out_tongue: Congrats!

dark mind by batiali 2021-04-27T22:14:40Z

Made it to level 20. As many pointed out, the minimalistic art is really nice and well done. Congrats!

The Deep by TheMoonrise 2021-04-26T22:53:49Z

Amazing game and experience. I didn't know what I was doing at first but the atmosphere kept me going. Really well done!

Endeavour by leekanarchism 2021-04-27T21:56:39Z

The theme and the music kinda reminded me of Outer Wilds? Fan? :smiley:
