Emile's Journey by qui 2020-10-11T17:05:59Z ♥ 2
Great entry. I enjoyed the art style combined with music. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, but it didn't stop me from enjoying and finishing it.
Duplicafé by kantieno 2020-10-11T15:20:13Z ♥ 1
I really liked how you put it together. Nice music, interesting gameplay, a bit of bizarreness :) I like the idea of messing with the timeline.
Maybe one improvement I would suggest is to add some feature(s) that will allow to distinguish each player.
I quite enjoyed playing your entry.
SnowTrip by GlacierEclipse 2020-10-11T14:50:27Z ♥ 1
I really liked the idea behind your game. This was a refreshing experience.
Maybe the light generated by the flashlight could have limited length, no so long, so that the light sticks will be of greater value.
All in all, this is an interesting and fresh prototype that may have a potential for something longer. Good job.
Hamsta's Paradise by brookman 2020-10-09T06:55:08Z ♥ 2
If my hamster had an elevator in his cage he would totally escape :) Nice execution - I enjoyed the graphics and music.
Appease The Gods by japes 2020-10-09T06:48:12Z ♥ 2
Nice idea. I like the cricket sound during the night.
The Ice Man Loopeth by Ramble House Games 2020-10-09T06:30:42Z ♥ 0
Quite original. I like the models. The way you decided to present the intro was really great :) I only missed some kind of ambient audio.
I've got a technical question. Except cursor locking in Unity, have you changed something on the UI side? After locking the cursor with space I get a notification, that your game captured it and I should press ESC to get the control back. I wonder if you add some code to handle this, as I don't get such notification with my builds :)
Space Loop by IndivisibleParticles 2020-10-08T10:53:00Z ♥ 1
3 times was my max. Sometimes it felt like a particular combination was impossible to pass through, but it might have just been my lack of skill.
The music makes appropriate atmosphere and I really like the overall aesthetics.
Pogo Knight by TheWinrawr 2020-10-08T07:04:58Z ♥ 0
Lovely. I think it has a potential for a longer game. I had good time playing your game and the music creates awesome atmosphere.
The only small detail suggestion would be that the sound of hitting bullets was a bit too mellow for me. Something harsher, maybe steel-like would be more satisfying for me. But, that's a small personal detail.
You made a great game.
Kinalo by mutuware 2020-10-08T06:53:34Z ♥ 0
The music creates nice mood. It's a nice idea about leaves falling each time you make a loop.
OrboROS by IC Rainbow 2020-10-08T06:48:46Z ♥ 1
This reminds me of good times with KSP. Great sounds, solid implementation of orbits. Pity I can say that only based on a movie (Windows user).
Friday Night Funkin by Cameron Taylor 2020-10-07T19:01:37Z ♥ 1
Simply lovely :) Would like to play full version some day.
As others mentioned, I also died a couple of times thinking before I figure out I should just repeat after the guy on the left. I initially thought it's a game for 2 players.
Stuck in a while(true) by Neowedge 2020-10-07T18:42:57Z ♥ 2
Nice idea to combine system messages on the side, which kind of narrate what happens in a game. I wonder if Unity's garbage collector feels like it plays such game while working. Had fun playing :)
Are We There Yet? by JudgeZedd 2020-10-07T18:31:12Z ♥ 1
Seems that I'm stuck in a loop there :) Feels like totally accurate simulator of going on a vacation with family.
iLoop - the 2D endless runner game of a robot stuck in a loop :) by melvinng 2020-10-07T09:08:08Z ♥ 1
The graphics and audio create joyful atmosphere. Nicely executed idea that fits the theme. I only felt like the colliders are a bit too big - when I jump a bit to early it looks like there was no contact with the enemy, however I was loosing a life.
Escape the Sun by MikoMikoSpark 2020-10-07T08:54:54Z ♥ 2
Cool arcade idea for implementing the theme! Enjoyed it.
Hypnic Fall by Dakke 2020-10-07T08:37:13Z ♥ 1
Nicely executed idea. When I understood the mechanic behind it it got really interesting and made me want to climb higher and higher. I also like the art and sound. Nice entry 👍
Stuck in a Soup Loop by Doot 2020-10-07T08:28:31Z ♥ 3
Well executed game. I like the art and music. The only thing that didn't work for me is when ingredients switched places in level 2 compared to level 1.
The exciting life of a hamster by Nuanda79 2020-10-07T08:13:33Z ♥ 1
20 was my best. Sweet mood due to music and graphics. I would only make the hamster fall off the wheel when attacked by cat. The scratches look a bit violent :)
Otherwise nice, funny game.
Divine Drifter by Enzar17 2020-10-07T07:09:19Z ♥ 2
Beautiful. Disk OH station was me favorite :)
I really enjoyed it all. The only thing I wish was different was other penalty for crashing than having to start over. That was interrupting the enjoyment too hard. I would like the game to be a bit more forgiving.
But apart from that, I love how your game plays.
Line of Attack by dans17 2020-10-07T06:49:46Z ♥ 3
The mechanic are awesome and I appreciate how you implemented them (slowed time when drawing the loop). This fits nicely into the theme in a clever way. Good job :)
Never Gonna Lose Again by harusame 2020-10-07T06:39:52Z ♥ 2
Nice gameplay and choice of graphics. I also liked the effect of going back in time, although when it goes back quite far several times it becomes a bit frustrating :)
Cat Box Fall by zRepa 2020-10-07T06:18:37Z ♥ 1
Clever puzzles and original idea with nicely fits the theme :)
Frozen Potency by Eugenik 2020-10-07T06:12:20Z ♥ 2
Great mood and audio playing together with it. I thought about Stranger Things for a moment.
Redneck Raceway by Henrik Ganard 2020-10-06T20:30:17Z ♥ 1
Had fun playing your boat racing game. I like the camera work - it gives an impression of a tv broadcast. I agree with @duke about the sensitivity of turning. It felt too sensitive.
All in all good fun, even though I suck at it. Can't beat 35 seconds :)
Aztec Ride by Idan Rooze 2020-10-06T20:11:47Z ♥ 3
Amazing. So much fun. Though I feel I'm terrible at it, can't make more than 1 loop.
Tropical Hop by shp 2020-10-06T19:47:13Z ♥ 1
There's a learning curve. It was satisfying to make the first loop. It also feels great when you get up to speed and stay at it. Shooting robots was also funny.
Great entry :)
Orbital Rescue by ZebraInFlames 2020-10-06T19:30:40Z ♥ 1
I love playing games with orbital mechanics. I guess you may also be a KSP fan 🚀
Haven't seen such idea before. I really enjoyed it and passed all levels. The only small feature I missed was to be able to restart even if there was fuel left.
Great entry 👍
W.Y.F by Glaikunt 2020-10-06T19:06:46Z ♥ 1
Being stuck in a loop of negativity - great association. I enjoyed exploring this idea in your game.
BTW I read about music from other comment, but I haven't heard any sound (Chrome).
Loopfield by MikoziQ 2020-10-06T18:39:05Z ♥ 1
36869 on third attempt :)
Fun to play and smoothly executed. Menu music fits the genre and moving stars make a nice effect.
It's The Leash I Can Do by hemlocksoames 2020-10-06T11:21:59Z ♥ 2
It's a cool idea with cheerful music. Pity you run out of time. I enjoyed playing it :)
The Legend of the Stormer by josephdevelops 2020-10-06T09:11:46Z ♥ 1
The music creates a great atmosphere. It works well together with space background and character animations. I couldn't get out of the loop but I guess that might have been the idea :)
The level backgrounds broke a bit the overall experience for me. I think it's due to the contrast with polished character look and animations.
I enjoyed learning more about the story by speaking with different characters. All in all, it was enjoyable :)
a Damsel a Day by alec 2020-10-06T06:58:59Z ♥ 0
22 was my best :) Great graphics, audio and overlay execution.
Loop Runners by schraf 2020-10-06T06:38:12Z ♥ 1
Lovely. It all plays nice together :) Had good time playing your game.
Hamster Simulator by Alfadas 2020-10-05T19:57:10Z ♥ 1
I really like the music and sound effects. They fit together and enhance the overall experience. I enjoyed playing your game :)
Collateral Damage by Michael Parrish 2020-10-05T19:44:34Z ♥ 1
Cool audio and great execution!
360 by stuffed wombat 2020-10-05T19:34:39Z ♥ 1
It's weird but fresh, humorous and entertaining. I like it and I would definitely want to play more levels. Great entry!
Lost in Space by AlbertoFdzM 2020-10-05T18:55:29Z ♥ 2
I see we both thought about orbits as being stuck in a loop. I like how the planets look like and the effect you did with starts.
Myself by iDunnyX 2020-10-05T18:39:18Z ♥ 1
I appreciate that you decided to expose players to this subject. Art can help us to explore our nature.
Your prototype reminded me a bit about Philophobia game, however I appreciate you didn't make it crazy hard.
I wish you good luck if you decide to explore this topic more with a game. The only thing I would suggest you is to consider opting out from Humor category.
while(true) by TomekS 2020-10-05T17:56:34Z ♥ 1
I really like your game. I had an idea for a similar game some time ago and your creation is much better than what I imagined :)
It was fun and rewarding to play it. The only thing I would change is the music. After a couple of levels is was more of a distraction than mood setter. But, that's a detail. Thank you for making this game.
Looped Fellas by BukkakeTears 2020-10-05T17:16:02Z ♥ 2
Weeeeeeee. Awesome execution of the main theme. Great humor. I just noticed the writings inside the wheel :D Had a great time playing it. Thank you.
SORO BORO by nethead 2020-10-05T16:59:36Z ♥ 3
The gameplay, audio and graphics are awesome. I can't beat the 4th level though. I think it's mainly because I believe that jumping on a monster kills it.
Loop Deleter by Zachary Barbanell 2020-10-05T14:45:30Z ♥ 1
It's quite innovative and has well thought puzles, which required me to stop and think. You also made solid implementation of the game rules. Good job, great entry.
Danger Beat by rhoff95 2020-10-05T14:21:15Z ♥ 1
Great idea. The beat / song the player creates is very pleasing.
I thought for a moment what I would change and I think the part that doesn't click for me (except many that do) is that the player's input is not in sync with the beat. Maybe the gameplay should be slightly different. What I mean by that - check Necrodancer if you haven't already. Aligning players input with the beat would enhance the experience.
Still, I had a lot of fun playing it.
Star Loop by rickdearman 2020-10-05T13:59:21Z ♥ 1
Congratulations on making your first game and finishing it in time! I like the background music. You even made 2 tracks - for the menu and game :)
I agree with other players, that the character should move faster. There's also something peculiar about input handling - I can move and jump the same time, but cannot move and throw the egg at the same time.
All in all it's a really fun game for a first project. Be proud of your creation and cherish your accomplishment :)
LoopyDraw by sanojian 2020-10-05T13:25:16Z ♥ 1
Simple, yet beautiful. It's fun to draw. I didn't expect such idea in a gamejam - I think I even like it more because of it.
InYourFaceABook by RGilPT 2020-10-05T13:02:01Z ♥ 1
The concept is really interesting, however the game was too hard for me. I had trouble understanding which keywords are similar, recognizing what some of the images represent and what makes someone share my news.
Time Warriors by timeloopedpowergamer 2020-10-05T08:14:03Z ♥ 1
I keep always loosing. That's my loop I'm stuck in. Don't know if it was intended :) I think the game is going in the right direction, but probably there was not enough time to finish it.
Ninja Rabbit 2020 by fatalcaca 2020-10-05T08:03:55Z ♥ 0
Same for me - keep getting "buy" screen over and over again. Is this a bug?
Loopin' - A C64 action puzzle game by Endurion 2020-10-05T07:58:07Z ♥ 0
I downloaded the version with emulator package, but it doesn't start the game. I also tried running it online ( https://virtualconsoles.com/online-emulators/c64/ ) - it starts, but doesn't receive input. Any advice?
While we are here - stuck in a loop by Seskon 2020-10-05T07:34:52Z ♥ 1
Nice idea. It was fun to play it. It took me a while to understand it at the beginning so I agree a better introduction would ease that. Also, it might be helpful to show what uneditable lines produce.
Harmony of the Spheres by StephanyeBlakely 2020-10-05T07:11:50Z ♥ 0
Nice idea. I like that you decided to make a music game. As other players, I also experienced difficulty with control. Maybe good notes producing song-like melody would be an improvement.
BLOOP by danman9914 2020-10-05T00:10:41Z ♥ 1
Definitely ready to defend the title :) Good luck! Great game.
Plasma by Hakro 2020-10-04T23:59:05Z ♥ 1
Had trouble first to figure out what to do, but I admit I didn't read instructions. Soon I had the AHA moment (and a good laugh) after dropping the first astronaut. Plus for humor. Nice game and unexpected implementation of the theme.
