LD47 — Stuck in a loop

SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE by Sheepolution 2020-10-07T00:29:38Z

Hahahahaha, SHAKES SNAKES SNAKES. That got me somehow.

But other than that, yes, nice snake reimagining in the theme, good job :)

Legendary Orbit Golf by pschichtel 2020-10-07T18:05:20Z

A physics game (I like those) with a very neat graphics (those little cute planet models were great) but yeah the goal is kind of obscure, so I was having fun just flying around :)

Audio work was on point too

Tip of the hat to you guys for making the web version, as I always do everywhere :)

Asteroid Catcher by Jcourt 2020-10-07T14:30:09Z

Your theme interpretation was the best 'orbit' one I've yet seen, well done

And tip of the hat for the web version of the game :)

Untitled cat unboxing by piegames 2020-10-07T00:58:16Z

The art was very cute, I liked it a lot, and, of course, THE CAT :)

And as I always do, tip of the hat for you for making a web version of the game, :thumbsup:

Time Raider by Almax 2020-10-08T15:07:06Z

Really nice graphics, well done :)

Escape the Loop by kittymac 2020-10-06T20:42:40Z

Both multiplayer and HTML5, automatic tip of the hat to you! :)

Also a neat game concept overall, looks like you are going to need to buy an .io domain

The Infinite Ark by SaraJS 2020-10-09T14:48:22Z

I actually really liked the text aestetics, very niche and I dont know how to describe, just the way I like it, minimalist and/or clean maybe? Anyway, I liked this a lot, and the music was very good too, good job :)

Can't believe this does not already have more reviews, it's so good.

Paradox by Wahooney 2020-10-07T00:27:21Z

The time loop interpretation of the theme was very expected and I was skeptical in advance, but this one was very good, really nice graphics and sounds too :)

Good work, very nice little game. And of course I wish there were more levels, hope you'll be working on that in the future :)

Cursed Labyrinth by marbles 2020-10-07T16:42:26Z

Cute visualization of the maze traversing (and, well, generation), and a clicker! (sort of, without the initial real clicking stage). Also the music was very good, I liked it too, made a nice mood, great job. Although the theme connection is only by being a clicker itself I guess?

Also I bought like 600 potions.. Why? idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And tip of the hat to you for providing the web version, and also godot :thumbsup: :)

Loophole by louis-denizet 2020-10-06T22:26:33Z

I very much like the minimalist art and animations, well done! Also yeah, as everyone already said, fits the theme very well. Audio was on point too.

Tip of the hat for easily playable HTML5 :)

The Cult of the Broken Clock by ectucker1 2020-10-06T20:55:09Z

HTML5! (yes)

Really cool aestetic and a nice overall concept. For me it also felt slightly bullet-hellish.

I would really prefer relative control though, absolute movement was not helping at all :)

Groove Interpolator by Spotline 2020-10-08T15:00:52Z

I really like minimalist shapes and flat colors, got my click here, good job

Also tip of the hat for the web version :)

NOTE by fusionnist 2020-10-07T00:34:08Z

Well, the art in description was pretty intriguing

Road of the Blood Mage by ragtagradical 2020-10-07T00:47:51Z

Well, to quote yourself, "nice little taste of a demonic wasteland road" - exactly.

No gameplay (even like "splash 100 of those demon things") is sad, but the effort was there, you've created the atmosphere (that gave me chills) at least :)

stuck spinning =[ by pinneh 2020-10-06T20:51:28Z

Tip of the hat for HTML5 version, as always :)

Classic bullet hell contept, but looped! Good take on the theme.

Charlie's Routine by Pedro Henrique Cesar 2020-10-07T01:45:57Z

Wow, aestetic realy kicks you in the gut, great job

A Certain Particle Chamber by Baturinsky 2020-10-07T18:33:43Z

I can't believe you did this for the jam, this game looks finished af (well except if it was mature it would have hundreds of levels).

I liked it so much, finally found one worthy all-5 rating, it's just perfect.

My usual tip of the hat for HTML5, but also can't wait to buy this in Play Market, seems like this game would be just perfect on mobile :)

Stuck in Orbit by Ductoman16 2020-10-06T20:45:59Z

Nice and simple game with a very pleasing aestetic, good job!

And as always, tip of the hat for HTML5 and allowing me not to download shady exe's and running them through wine :)

Trapped On Track by Mads 2020-10-06T19:44:06Z

Yes, you did it in HTML5 so I wouldn't need to download it and try to run through wine, and you insta-attracted me by putting that into thumbnail, smart!

Very nice and simple concept, also I really liked the flat-shaded procedural(?) walls for some reason, it was a good aestetic.

You made a public leaderboard for which I didn't have enough time for my game, I'm jealous :)

Nicely done overall

Stuck In A Loop by Dudum Lare 2020-10-07T00:10:27Z

Pretty simple, but very playable idea! I liked the minimalist graphics very much, good job :)

And my usual tip of the hat for having a web version, nice!

Hypervisor by DoctorMozart 2020-10-08T00:15:26Z

Wow, I am not really into roleplaying games (like D&D or whatever), but reading your pdf got me very excited, I liked the rules (or like, the description of possibilities, idk) very much, hopefully will actually try to play this with some friends (who are more into roleplay) in a couple of days!

This was kind of unexpected though :)

Stuck in the Office by BobParis75 2020-10-07T14:32:22Z

Yeah gamepad-only was kind of weird, but still, you make up to it with the mood and art style, nice work!

Light footsteps after the rain by Chocolat-Endive 2020-10-07T00:21:03Z

It's all about the moody games..

There was not a lot of gameplay, but still audio and photography were nice, you've managed to build an atmosphare

Hat off for both Godot and the web version :)

Light Loops by TheCodeGoose 2020-10-07T00:40:09Z

This was suprisingly hard, but I liked the minimalist aestetic and sound design, good job :)

Dead Hand by Kszaku 2020-10-07T00:17:53Z

Well, it was pretty fun, I really liked the concept, good job! :)

Orbit by Johan Alexandersson 2020-10-06T22:33:11Z

Very cute little game indeed (just couldn't not call it cute after seeing the first comment, heh), nice classic graphics. I don't really even know how exactly it's tied to the theme, but this little game is so good I don't even care :)

The Loopyrinth by IvanTigan 2020-10-07T01:01:49Z

Oof, if the graphics were just a bit more consise, or I don't know even for what reason I was uncanny valley'ed away, this was to be my first all-5 rating, I liked the game and the concept so much, great job! :)

Vinyl by YellowKamel 2020-10-06T20:33:54Z

The design is very good, I really like sharp (but with a bit of a smooth edge not to cut the eye) minimalist shapes and flat colors of such games, great work!

Quantum Loops by necauqua 2020-10-06T02:27:51Z

-- removed (moved to description) --

(congrats if you finished the last level)

Quantum Loops by necauqua 2020-10-06T23:58:26Z

@pschichtel The real aim trainer level had a twice smaller ring radius and 5 seconds instead of 7 and a lot of people complained calling it unbeatable :) Then they learned about the last one, hahaha @stefan-laimer 80%?? OMG.

In other levels I have >96% atm, 99.23% in the first one :)

But yeah for the last one to get >90 you just need to super precicely spam click 5 rings in 1 second I think

Quantum Loops by necauqua 2020-10-07T00:24:16Z

@znw I do remember exactly this username, except not abbreviated, hi :)

Quantum Loops by necauqua 2020-10-07T16:36:04Z

@pschichtel 84% is the craziest I've seen so far, wow

Quantum Loops by necauqua 2020-10-08T11:48:43Z

@gaz-ireland wow, this looks like some kind of dpi issue

Did you try another browser/device? What is your screen/browser?

On a 4k display for me everything was a bit smaller/thinner but still playable.

Anyway my current implementation is indeed far from best so this will likely be fixed in the future, I am sorry for the inconvenience

Also this should only apply to text, so you can click through the tutorial - the lower right pixel blob is the next button, and then actually play, and read what to do here in the description

Vibe Shard by AploveStudio 2020-10-06T22:30:30Z

Very great retro feeling pixel graphics + a rhytm game? Very nice, I enjoyed it a lot. Don't know how it's tied to the theme, but I don't even care for this game :D

12 Space Diamonds by José Bonilla 2020-10-07T15:58:38Z

Wow, yet another minimalist game (I click on those the most) that looks great, nicely done!

Escape the Loop by Rawb 2020-10-06T20:15:47Z

I really like both the web accessibility (can play instantly and without wine) and the minimalist aestetic, so just clicked on the thumbnail :)

This game is tough though, the time limit really doesn't help. Theme interpretation is creative, keep up the good work!

Stuck in a Soup Loop by Doot 2020-10-08T15:09:13Z

Stuck in a soup loop, hahahahah, that got me :) Art is very cute, I liked it a lot, good job!

Tip of the hat for the web version, as always :)

Shadow of Archimedes by Eckkert 2020-10-06T20:09:36Z

Very good audio work, and I also liked the style, minimalist silhouettes are just what you need for this type of game.

Also your theme interpretation is pretty on point, well done.

Tip of the hat for HTML5 (especially native and not like Unity or something).

--

To answer your question from my game - I did not use WebGL because I didn't have much prep (I would've loved to). I was just drawing to a canvas, and it has text rendering.

To answer your question even better - I did GL text rendering in the past (successfully) and you for sure need some library(ies) for ttf parsing and positioning because fonts (glyphs and their positions and uv's) are stupid hard and complicated.

Shadow of Archimedes by Eckkert 2020-10-06T20:18:38Z

@eckkert, funnily enough, this is a viable form of caching, I think Android does that - render some text to a texture and then just use that texture (instead of 2 triangles per letter).

Frozen Potency by Eugenik 2020-10-06T23:49:45Z

WOW. I *really* liked the graphics design, one of the best I've yet seen, very good job!

Beanstronauts by The Missing Bracket 2020-10-08T00:18:24Z

Heheh, 3d Among Us with some nice pill modes, I loved that :D

Also tip of the hat for the web version, appreciate it :)

Machine Learning by Merpui 2020-10-06T20:29:18Z

But at the end.

You will understand.

Hahahah, nice one

Tip of the hat for HTML5, no wine hurray :)

Don't Freeze by Neonalig 2020-10-07T23:53:21Z

It has such a nice and complete pixel aestetic, might've mistaken it for a game NOT made in 3 days. Very well done, I liked it a lot :)

A long day by Higgs 2020-10-06T20:23:43Z

Pretty classic and I would even call it cheesy take on the theme.

However graphics look really good, the find items and complete objectives gameplay is also pretty classic.

Overall I can't definitevely say anything, but the effort was there, and that's what matters the most, keep up the good work :)

Choice by velocitycss 2020-10-07T16:01:15Z

Yeah, it was a bit too hard, but I really liked the minimalist (and also 3d!) style, I click on those the most and I was not disappointed, great job.

And tip of the hat to you for providing the web version :)

The Legend of the Stormer by josephdevelops 2020-10-07T16:09:24Z

I liked the 2.5d graphics choice, felt very unique and I loved the character animation. Some retro vibes in the music also helped to get the mood, great job!

Tip of the hat for providing a web version of the game :)

Loopbot by ctpeepee 2020-10-07T00:14:31Z

The art style is really cute, I liked it a lot, music was on point too, really nice job :)

Orbital Loop by Pradhuman 2020-10-06T19:34:07Z

Creative pixelated mix of Flappy bird derivative with constant speeds and no gravity, I liked it.

Stuck in a loop is just because game has no ending?

Nicely done, had to run it through wine though.

Tip of the hat for using LÖVE :)

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-07T14:33:59Z

You forgot the "Rave" part :)

Doesn't really fit your art style, but I thought I'd mention it

No Grave Too Shallow by Skiffage 2020-10-06T23:45:53Z

While being pretty common, your theme interpretation felt somewhat unique to me, nice :)

The game itself is yet another find objectives - battle mobs, but the gameplay is smooth

Escape from the Ferris Wheel by Adam Jewell 2020-10-07T18:26:12Z

Nice and simple cute retro game, fits the theme too :)

Chronophobia by Valkija 2020-10-08T00:10:28Z

Very visually pleasing game, and the mood was built right, gave me chills :)

Keep Inside by davidB 2020-10-07T10:58:57Z

Reiteration of pong, but in a loop! Cool

Very simple minimalist aesthetic, I like that very much, great job.

Tip of the hat for using Rust :)

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-07T14:36:37Z

Your theme interpretation and aggressive advertisement was pretty unique indeed

Amidst We by diamondgfx 2020-10-05T23:18:02Z

In my opinion, to make your game not (very) boring, you needed to have just a bit variety in action, just running away from mobs and getting to objectives gets you bored out insanely quickly.

Still not bad for the first game, congrats on participating :)

Music and darkness was good, creeping up the intensity a bit, but you got to 'stuck in a loop' theme very loosely.

Also respect for the web-player (works on linux!), you may update it so that it says something like "Itch.io (browser playable)" or something so that people would know.

Project R.O.O.M by Arad HamidSamiee 2020-10-07T13:57:54Z

It made me uneasy indeed, great job :)

Linux build, yey

Constituent by Thomas Carey 2020-10-06T23:47:51Z

Really cool automation puzzle, I liked the graphics design very much.

Good job :)

In a Globe of Death by vcarlos 2020-10-07T01:08:23Z

Very simple game that is still somehow entertaining (unlike some other entries) to play, nice job!

My only complaint is that you could've really used anything besides default Unity background, quickly adding any free skymap should be like two clicks away and it looks much nicer :)

And, as I do in every review, tip of the hat to you for the web version :)

Blobber by Cherry_princess 2020-10-06T19:26:36Z

Among all of the "stuck in a social network loop" games I've seen so far, this one is one of the most creative, the unexpected turn got me (especially since I did not read the descrition, huh). Nicely done!

And my usual respect for the web wersion, only way you could play some games on linux.

Disasteroids by Will Chambers 2020-10-07T00:06:44Z

Can't believe I actually built it, while the link to itch was in the comments :D

Very simple and minimalist take on a classic, saw this approach a lot, does not make it worse)

I like minimalist styles, so I enjoyed your style, good work! :)

LD49 — Unstable

Experiment #56 by ildfuglen 2021-10-12T21:32:17Z

Wohoo, I liked the gameplay although it took time to not suck - agree with the above comment about reiteration :)

Really nice art too!

Also tip of the hat for the Linux build

Nuclear Routine by maxds98 2021-10-05T19:07:47Z

Jesus it's hard to play :) Or maybe it's my monkey brain shutting off when I hear the alarm sound.

The art is just gorgeous, holy hell I loved the art. And theme interpretation is really cool and on point

Orbital Turbulence by Bewelge 2021-10-21T12:16:13Z

Actually really cool sim, nice job! :)

Jenga DESU ! by Kaiomoi 2021-10-05T18:43:44Z

Adorable little game, great take on the theme. Tip of the hat for the HTML5 version

Cyberduk by abvadabra 2021-10-07T05:40:55Z

The art is craaazy, wow

Also yeah the game was way too hardcore for me to finish :)

Apocalypse Run by LCStark 2021-10-21T12:17:40Z

Idk man, bloom always gets me, 5 for gfx :shrug: :)

Chaos Theory by necauqua 2021-10-06T22:19:23Z

@nardandas funniest thing is that the pendulum is just a rope (verlet+jacobi), so 'energy decay' is from high gravity, which is so high only for it not to be horribly slow on 60 fps

@eptwalabha thanks! I'm planning to make a level editor, I've enough interested people in my discord to make a few dozens of levels at least :)

Not to mention a ton of fixes/improvements that I have to do

Stay Unstable! by Loig 2021-10-05T18:57:36Z

12 hours?

Very cool, I enjoyed it a lot)

Liked the not-antialiased graphics and font, made it stylish.

The algorithm of detecting 'stability' is a bit too fuzzy, but then I found out that the game is easily cheezable by just bouncing one box around until I finally lost it at >300m :D

Chaos Theory by marrs 2021-10-05T00:44:49Z

Ok you were first with the title :)

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-07T00:39:23Z

Bwahahahah, finally a unique idea, really cool! :)

Rogue Planets by Roboolet 2021-10-05T19:33:29Z

Bloomy monochrome art, I genuinely randomly clicked on the game in the browser with classic balance filter, but I really liked the aesthetic and the physics-based gameplay - seen (and made, haha) physics a lot with this theme, but I like all of it nonetheless :)

Angry Ape by orangutanrider 2021-10-05T18:49:50Z

So the ape is _mentally_ unstable, huh? :) Amazing minimalist art and tricky timings, cool game :thumbsup:

Shaky Shapes by joaosilva22 2021-10-05T19:09:53Z

I always fall for the pixel-art-ish non-antialiased lines, and I've seen a lot of the physics based theme interpretations, this one is really good, nice job! The game keeps the tension up all the time

Keep talking, and Bob might not die by MakimoPL 2021-10-21T12:19:52Z

Hahahah, great idea man, innovative :)
