it is fun to compete against you, the master who taught me unity.
your game looks promising. i have to continue the review at home, my mobile does not have asdw keys 😃
would be nice, if you review others as well. the stats speak against you 😉
very nice parallax and particle effects, i whish there was a bit more a gameplay with a goal. intro feels a bit like my (not so polished game) 😉
nice idea to create different kind of planets based on "nothing" 😃
perfect game idea, amazing intro (cloud effect), funny particles with eyes, "boosting into" was not obvious to me, but then RTFM 😃
it's funny, but for an idle game it's not enough. i agree with @hmaya - nice review btw!
which levels? maybe the game just does not work for me... or there is really nothing
the game goes black when i have level 2 or 3 and i click some open dialog - since it's a clicker game, i don't read anyways 😃 ... is this just the end? i repeated this twice using the web version.
update: all good - just read the dialogs - game ends at 100 days!!!
i'm stuck with the first. can't combine the stones? please give one more hint
minimalistic but very good idea. kept me playing for quite some time! i reached 20 ... no idea if there is an end?
best game out of the 15 or so that i reviewed today. well done. mechanic work really nice, intutive, challanging make sure you rate a lot! you deserve a high score.
i got stuck very early on. the idea is very cool, mouse + keyboard works well sometimes it is visually not clear whats a platform and whats just background. intentional or not?
omg, taff story, especially as a dad of two kids. i liked the maze a lot. that alone could just have been the game, but you built the story well around it. rate more games, so that others will rate yours! you deserve it.
funny but also nothing
i took me a while that there is a huge fly time, but still too hard for me ... ok i'm not a pro gamer but a pro developer 😄
i almost got seasick in the first couple of seconds! omg. but i resisted 😄 the voice is fun and nice! well done. first game i truely finished tonight, doable, not too easy and with a real ending!
nice concept and i like the change in color. add checkpoints and it will be less frustraiting.
i love idle games! thanks for creating this! well done. nice procedural map and music. I still keep it running ... for minutes now. still waiting for an epic end 😃
sorry, i don't like the controls. not intuitive (asdw: relative vs. absolute/screen directions)
Nice particles, but I am missing a goal in the game
idle clicker?
I love idle games ... the autoclicker as suggested would be very funny!

i love it. i played it on my phone, enabled desktop view, works really well. if only camera control were touch capable i would give you max points straight! well done. please make a mobile version. :-)
Looped by zimny11 2020-10-05T09:23:00Z ♥ 1
i finished the infinate game! nice pick on the theme, nice song (but is it really yours?)
edit: since the song is really yours, i had to bump up the audio rating! well done!
Looped Fellas by BukkakeTears 2020-10-05T09:18:03Z ♥ 3
i like the hand drawn art, the silhouette of the workers (unfortunately for the player they interact with the mouse :-D ) and the shaking animation, only critic on the graphics: the green text does not match with the rest the game is confusing, but it's the part i also like - thanks for the guide as well.
Endless Ocean Cleanup by Bloham 2020-10-05T09:03:13Z ♥ 1
greta will be proud of you :) yep, controls and boat feel a bit odd/slow. not sure how the recycling works, i got 3 points, but when i went to the smokey house with more trash, i didn't receive more. i think the noise effect is not helping and overdone.
It Is A Loop by Aarimous 2020-10-05T08:50:38Z ♥ 1
nice game that matches theme very well. in the beginning it feels like you can predict it and it's way too easy, but then very soon it gets way too hard. balancing games is tricky, maybe adding additional bonuses like extra lives would help. it was fun to play for sure :-)
Redneck Raceway by Henrik Ganard 2020-10-05T08:44:30Z ♥ 2
the unique carmera helps to match the theme, but i agree with others that you should have committed even more to this idea and kept it in one place (or do cut scenes maybe?). nice that you added highscores in that short time, well done.
Binary Loop by Spiderhead20 2020-10-05T08:37:47Z ♥ 1
i like the animations (background, death) and the sound matches very well. to me the players jumps a bit too little in height and it feels very slippery. overall very good, but struggle a bit with your loop story (theme matching) :-)
Prelude to a Squish by nil4k 2020-10-05T08:32:41Z ♥ 0
nice game idea, i wish you had time to complete it, not much we can rate you on. you can make changes, but need to state that in your description you made them clearly (fixing bad bugs - key board re-assignments i think would be in this category)
a Damsel a Day by alec 2020-10-05T08:28:36Z ♥ 0
very well executed game! nice music, very nice retro style, really fast paced and you just want to rescue them all! not sure how you did the levels, because about level 16 was impossible (train and myself went immediately straight right, but train overtook me and i could not rescue her. maybe generational levels need a sanity check?)
WhileLoops by Ausstein 2020-10-05T08:23:02Z ♥ 2
very nice old style dialog mess game, i like it a lot and played for too long (have to play other games too :)). in the default size, the font is a bit hard to read (maybe intentional) and it is quite strange, how much you can get stressed about these dialogs poping up and disapearing :-)
Get out of the Traffic Circle! by APBakeWare 2020-10-05T08:06:25Z ♥ 1
matches theme for sure and you learnt Unity, well done! the rotation speed should change per lane, maybe you could give it a try and change your code (should not be too hard :)) also nice idea with the radio, although i would have done less songs with more quality.
Loop Bouncer by pkenney 2020-10-05T08:00:39Z ♥ 0
very cool idea. gets quite difficult, because you lose all keys in one go. maybe just losing one and having a cool-down-timer would help. btw: there is quite some lag when reaching in exit when sound plays
Magical Marissas Troubles with Time by TheseusInABottle 2020-10-05T00:21:08Z ♥ 1
your audio track is just genius! you are stuck in the audio loop for sure! apart from that, looks like it's just a regular monkeyball game, or do i overlook something?
Rim of Zitra by Listonos 2020-10-05T00:16:27Z ♥ 1
i like your idea to rewind and allow for better choices and improve over time. not easy if you are tired from a game jam :)
Looping Stuck by peeweek 2020-10-05T00:14:39Z ♥ 1
amazing light effects, i love the mirror! it's also cool to figure out, what's actually going on. thanks for the video - this way i can see the ending without trying for too long :))

The Loop by Jin9310 2020-10-04T23:18:33Z ♥ 1
it's a very nice idea to limit the player on the move using the loop. some more updates on the review (@jin9310): i love the logo and the art style of the start scene. i think the game itself is too dark, sometimes hard to see. i don't think that switching often is a cheat or so, it's part of the game mechanics and that's just fine. to make it more interesting, it would be nice to be able to change the radius of the loop for example, with boosts or so.
Loop Deleter by Zachary Barbanell 2020-10-04T23:16:34Z ♥ 1
looks like a fun game. i'll try again when the rating is on. ... i was also stuck in one of the levels, but i'm sure it's not the end of the loop :)
Loading: The Game by Wakobu 2020-10-04T23:16:09Z ♥ 2
i love this game. i'm also struggling to get a higher score (about 30%), but computers are hard to maintain :)

i like the hand drawn style! but i'm clearly not a hardcore player... :(
