LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Crazy Looper by LeReveur 2020-10-08T02:19:37Z

Fantastic. Strangely addictive!

Woofice Chair! by JorgeGameDev 2020-10-25T05:32:22Z

Fantastic. Maybe it's me but my only suggestion would be to make it easier. There's a lot of great stuff happening on screen, if the enemies are more spaced apart then the player has more time to soak it all in. Well done, great job all around!

Stuck In Paris by CocaPasteque 2020-10-17T20:00:35Z

Very funny! Great stuff!

Shadow Loop by Mekuri 2020-10-07T02:53:18Z

Using fullscreen feels totally 'immersive'. Good stuff!

Sushi for Robots by ludipe 2020-10-17T05:02:31Z

Love this! It's nice to experience a clever puzzle game that has a lot of heart to it as well. Good stuff all around!

Station 8 by quadtree 2020-10-24T06:00:02Z

Tough but fun! Great stuff.

Colorful Memories by Ayxs 2020-10-07T17:17:42Z

Awesome! Easy to play/get into and all the shaders/post processing were perfect. Also really enjoyed the use of audio cues to guide the player and storytelling.

ringtale by torcado 2020-10-17T04:43:45Z

A real brain-bender! Can also see this being fun on mobile or with touch controls. Good stuff!

Hide and Seek by DDRKirbyISQ 2020-10-23T17:45:22Z

Incredible! Maybe my fave game of the jam. 5/5 for audio, obviously! Do you use/have you thought about using audio middleware (FMOD or Wwise) for a game this? If not, definitely scope it out!

Niki the Ghost by interstateeight 2020-10-06T22:04:18Z

This is great! I like the simple controls and really tasteful graphics/colours/music.

Nuclear Loop Labs by Jesús González 2020-10-26T05:03:39Z

Excellent! Have to say the beautiful graphics and sound made the (albeit limited) gameplay experience pleasant. They say in sound design that a good 'opening door' sound is a test of skill - you passed! Good job all around.

RING LANCER by juegoman 2020-10-06T23:48:06Z

Awesome! Reminds me of my old fave Space Harrier.

SatOrbit by negativice 2020-10-27T20:03:03Z

Wow, gameplay a bit of a learning curve (heh) but clearly there's a lot going on here! Great interpretation of the theme, feels unique in this jam. Great stuff!

Demongraft by kazuo256 2020-10-06T21:52:56Z

Smart idea! Beautiful art and standout SFX. Great vocal emotes - love the death "aaaaaaiii"!

RingCastle by tomcooper 2020-10-18T16:12:41Z

Very cool - the pixelated visuals really add to the sense of mystery. Looking forward to more!

W.M.L.F by Webox 2020-10-07T03:01:04Z

Great artwork and awesome mechanic!

Dude Ranch by ColeSlaughter 2020-10-09T06:41:04Z

Yee-haw! Great game! ~~~~~~~~0

Loop Frogs by GaryS 2020-10-07T00:18:09Z

Perfect graphics! Great stuff!

POKKO by gord10ahmet 2020-10-25T06:09:47Z

Perfect idea and presentation - even the spot-on "battery death" sound effect was oddly satisfying. Looking forward to seeing more with this story and mechanic!

The Circulation Desk by FireTwin 2020-10-24T05:57:20Z

That's great. Dream job!

Haighper Lewp by mmiddleton 2020-10-27T19:55:57Z

Very neat world you've made! The lighting and music set the mood well.

Quivering by SandPile 2020-10-08T02:26:43Z

Love this - the details like the drawing of the bow SFX are spot on.

Glide by egawag 2020-10-06T23:44:23Z

Awesome. Totally engrossing mechanic, it's like the new 'Snake'!

Infinite Wheel by Nimerya 2020-10-07T17:35:06Z

Nice and concise! Great job!

Saisons by Gaming Night 2020-10-18T00:28:19Z

Beautiful! Really really enjoyed this.

A Night Around the Fire by arron-fowler 2020-10-18T00:38:34Z

Really cool! The gameplay reminds me of Another World - very cinematic and engaging. Great stuff!

Loop Online Mmo by cax 2020-10-07T17:39:53Z

To me, multiplayer is ambitious but clearly you figured it out - nicely done!

Led Astray by Lyrcaxis 2020-10-24T18:34:50Z

Terrific! Can see a lot of care put into every aspect, from the story, animations, music and the programming - Great work all around!

Beyond Death by Trypants 2020-10-07T04:20:08Z

Basically perfect! Well done!

Everything is Garbage by vfqd 2020-10-18T16:00:46Z

Very slick and polished - Your team has clearly mastered the art of production chains. Well done!

The Jolly Journey of J.J.'s Jelly-Jamventure by TJ101010 2020-10-07T19:09:44Z

Nice! Great simple controls and animations.

Star Crossed by gamebuilder 2020-10-07T00:28:52Z

Love the comic intro, really nice change from the usual. And sweet rippin' guitar!

Orbit Jumper by Bentekiller 2020-10-08T02:15:00Z

Takes a bit to get a handle on the controls, but lots of fun and smart design - good work!

Broodmother by SludgeKey 2020-10-17T19:45:08Z

FWIW Audio is a 5/5! Great job all around, really liked the 'egg' restart idea.

Sad Dads: Loop of Lawn Maintenance by Shay Cichocki 2020-10-07T17:45:40Z

Well, that was depressing! Funny concept and nice grass effect!

Stuck In The LÖÖPS by klettari 2020-10-06T21:04:09Z

I ate them all! Great art, nice colours!

Spaghetti Quest by peterfonts 2020-10-17T19:54:01Z

My only suggestion is that often when I'd bring the fork to the mouth I'd inadvertently click off-screen. Great idea and very fun to play! Bella!

Training for Capitalism by scott.redrup 2020-10-06T20:47:39Z

Fun! Enjoyed the lever control - I think everyone wants to be a conductor.

Photon Loop by Alexascher 2020-10-07T21:09:54Z

Slick! Very cool mechanics and beautiful presentation.

Amusement Shark by No Grapes Games 2020-10-07T20:59:13Z

So good! Such a funny premise for the game mechanic. 5.0!

Hot's Dogs by Tyler Law 2020-10-07T00:36:57Z

Awesome!

For { } by SoupStoreGames 2020-10-06T23:58:32Z

Nice! Fun interpretation.

Aboard by Chris Mulholland 2020-10-08T16:22:52Z

What a bummer! Great art and storytelling.

Delivery Boy Forever by civmaniac 2020-10-08T20:50:27Z

Yes always tip! Also felt this game kind of has a GTA-vibe. Great stuff!

TIME TO DANCE! by Savvy Community 2020-10-18T00:10:21Z

That bass is toit! A little confusing but that's how I feel about all clubs. Great job all around!

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-07T16:23:53Z

@josephdevelops @jitspoe @samdwester Valid! There's nothing to do other than walking around and I've changed the description to make that clear. Thanks for the feedback!

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-07T20:02:34Z

@martin183 omg

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-08T20:41:59Z

@samdwester @mahahis @sandpile Yeah the need for an objective is the consensus - great suggestions like collecting people or photobombing here!

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-08T21:01:36Z

@adil someone's bad trip = a great trip for me

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-16T21:36:55Z

@coleslaughter Zooming the chat cams - good idea!

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-16T23:33:43Z

@danielcmcg Oh yes, it's fair to say I think more about cinema/art films than games (hence the slow zooms). Love me some AJ!

@flying-dog-fish I hear you about the window - I can vouch it looks nice in fullscreen! But I wanted to make sure it was all visible in all browsers, the Unity 'fullscreen' onscreen button kind of bugs me and, this is totally a personal preference, I do like seeing some 3D games in a smaller fixed window. I think sometimes it adds to the 'intimacy' of the game (likewise with the 1:1 ratio).

Great food for thought - hopefully I'll figure out a way to get a nice fullscreen option down the road!

Group Chat by Meatball 2020-10-24T03:36:35Z

@doot Ah cool a solo shot! I didn't know that was possible!

Crazy Roundabout by ArmenBalian 2020-10-08T02:28:53Z

Awesome - that's how I feel in every roundabout.

Nine to Five by Kristian Kurktchiev 2020-10-25T06:40:16Z

Great game all around. Too real... f'n Toby!

Eloi's Adventure by Convg 2020-10-27T17:52:32Z

Successfully using the explosive shadow is rewarding - Definitely continue this idea! Great stuff!

The Endless 8 by Jvdwijk 2020-10-09T01:35:44Z

Neat! Love the board-game presentation.

Mazed Robot by Martin183 2020-10-06T21:30:20Z

Good stuff! The first camera movement was a nice surprise and the music is fantastic.

Stuck In A Loop by runrajrun 2020-10-07T20:55:22Z

Reminds me of mayhem on the old Hot Wheels tracks, and really like the simple controls. Excellent!

Core Guard by TomatoLamp 2020-10-07T21:01:35Z

Really, really nice graphics. Nicely done!

Apartment Story by exed 2020-10-07T20:27:01Z

Perfect! Simple and fun.

Sisyphus Beetle Takes His Daughter to Work by pee-thief 2020-10-17T23:43:03Z

Awesome! Beautiful art and presentation. Job well dung.. done!

Skycrawler by oneiromancer 2020-10-23T17:58:40Z

Very well done, particularly the minimal-but-perfect sfx and tasty guitar jam. Great work!

BLACKLOOPHOLE by A sMILE 2020-10-07T16:47:49Z

Great! Easy to use controls, fun characters and the music really added to the vibe. Good stuff!

Long dungeon by BorisFromMurmansk 2020-10-06T23:26:39Z

Well done! I especially liked the lighting and models.

Just Another Day by Chaoseiro 2020-10-07T00:08:53Z

Fantastic. Especially great music and SFX.

Loopsie by Enes Ayyildiz 2020-10-09T01:27:00Z

Wow nicely done. Great graphics and camera movement.

LoopRunner by Zarki 2020-10-23T19:46:30Z

Fun but a liiiiitle frustrating at the end after getting the key. Good job overall, I enjoyed playing!

Anything For You by Emily Pitcher 2020-10-07T20:39:20Z

Excellent! Great gameplay and I like the jammin' tunes.

Super Looper by Unfocused Locust Games 2020-10-07T20:30:51Z

Really fun! Easy to pick up and smart use of the theme.

Hudson by Dharby 2020-10-07T20:47:48Z

Really clever use of the health bar! Great interactive music/sfx too - good stuff!

Ghost Jammer by schreibmaschine 2020-10-24T00:07:12Z

Neat presentation and slick sfx!

PWR SRG! by J-Dubs 2020-10-07T17:30:36Z

Yes! Maximum shredding (EVH RIP)

That Dream Again by Bokonon 2020-10-18T20:01:51Z

So good! Really fun exploring while figuring out the controls, and the Music/SFX feel totally in sync with the action. A really compelling game all around, great stuff!

Loop of Shapes by IronWood777 2020-10-06T23:19:23Z

The most fun I've had getting a high score of 1. Nice visual style and idea - Can't get any more loopy.

Stuck in the Loop Dungeon by Nyubi 2020-10-24T05:53:14Z

Well done! Great drawings.

Hoops Paradise by GuaranteedTrainwreck 2020-10-08T16:30:01Z

Really nice colour palette and ambience sounds - a neat contrast with the hectic gameplay. Well done!

Stop Motion by Cafe Ducha Siesta 2020-10-09T06:54:14Z

Super original intro - loved that!

Hammy's Modern Life by Waneck 2020-10-06T20:57:05Z

Accurate depiction of life during the pandemic. Nice tune, too!

Link the Fire by MeowMeowLitClub 2020-10-18T00:04:30Z

Awesome! Great art and animations.

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-25T00:04:31Z

Really neat. Elegant drawings! My only suggestion would be to make the first 'falling' part easier for the player to ensure they keep playing and experience the excellent following levels. Overall, well done!

Merry-Go-Madness and The Claw Of Survival by LetterAfterZ 2020-10-08T16:46:35Z

To me, 1-button games always get extra points - this is so simple and fun. Good stuff!

oh shit i'm dreaming again. by Smarto Club 2020-10-26T06:29:48Z

Oh shucks I'm commenting again. Really enjoyed the gameplay and general tone. Feels nicely focused on the theme too, just right. Great work!

Stix by Sombrero Guy 2020-10-24T00:16:05Z

Great visuals and strangely compelling. Straight up picking up sticks - why not!

INSIDE THE LOOP by aerloth 2020-10-23T23:17:53Z

Love this! Felt ambitious yet simple - and tasteful, spot-on sound design too. As a minor thing I also appreciated the 'quality' settings. Great work, going to look for more of your stuff!

Ballroom by StellarBearGames 2020-10-08T05:46:26Z

Perfect!

Loop of Life by Marin840 2020-10-27T04:58:13Z

Very funny and the mini-games kept it fresh. Great work!

Looped by Leo Red 2020-10-07T03:04:52Z

Very cool! Awesome use of the theme - so simple! :thumbsup_tone5:

Aztec Ride by Idan Rooze 2020-10-09T06:47:23Z

Awesome! Special props to great the music and SFX for perfectly setting the tone.

Endless Grind by Stratobox 2020-10-27T04:43:24Z

Good stuff! Not usually the type of game I play so I feel I was extra confused, but still enjoyable. Nice controls, UI, and especially music - Short and catchy!

iLoop - the 2D endless runner game of a robot stuck in a loop :) by melvinng 2020-10-25T06:26:11Z

I often think the less buttons the better, so this was perfect for me. Great music, art, and the How to Play and Stats elements were welcome. Congratulations!
