LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Loop Something Something by mbrezu 2020-10-07T17:00:19Z

I misplaced a lot of the blocks because I thought I was one tile further ahead, and because I couldn't distinguish the different block types on the map easily enough. That said, I could have looked at the queue for that, but I guess I was too focussed on the map, though the time would definitely have allowed for it. I liked the audio feedback about the different block types. Some time in after misplacing a few blocks I always found myself just hitting space more and more without thought, maybe I had already given up? This still gave me quite a few tetrominoes though. This is definitely a game I would spend more time playing, I like it a lot. Thank you for making it :)

Pizza Parkour by Luther-1 2020-10-07T17:18:24Z

I liked throwing the pizza and then dashing into it. Apart from that I didn't find much to do - maybe as you said because it's a tech demo? Anyway, the music was really good and was what kept me in the game.

A Duck in Time by lovetocode999 2020-10-08T13:29:14Z

The idea and narrative were cute. I liked how the pipes in the background move when you move your character and the sound effects when I hit something. However, after I shot my first two spiders I fell into a hole. I thought maybe I could get out Spiderman style but the duck tape just stuck to the wall. Then I thought maybe I could climb up the tape and shot more at the wall, didn't work though. Then I was out of tape... Nothing happened... So I reloaded, went through the narrative again, got stuck in the same hole, and eventually got out jetpack style. Since you were so good about explaining the controls before, a hint and a tape refill would have been nice there after some time has passed, instead of making the player reload everything.

I managed to make a little box green and later red. That's about the extend of it. I pressed left and right but I don't think anything happened. Right now, I'm mainly feeling confused. It looks like a game I'd have fun playing - I just plainly couldn't figure out what to do unfortunately.

Looping by guimoliveira 2020-10-10T09:06:52Z

I thought it was fairly cute, and fit the theme. Became somewhat repetitive and slow later, especially when I started failing my jumps. It was a nice touch how in the tutorial the way to break the loop was always to not do what the tutorial message implied. Good job!

Worm Day by Andrey30353 2020-10-10T21:17:15Z

Super cute! I made a big pile of worms before the first berry until I had figured out the controls. Needed to restart, the pile was too high to get over in time. Very fun, good job!

Co-Routine by MatchaFlavor 2020-10-07T16:39:02Z

I like the cute characters and the idea of swapping between them to solve the puzzle. The instructions were definitely needed to start, and I did read them before, but I forgot the details too quickly. It would be nice to be introduced to the different platforms one by one with instructions in the game. Anyway, definitely a nice work!

Babysitting Astronauts by BrandonCimino 2020-10-07T15:19:52Z

Hi @microgravitydan Thanks so much for playing our game!

The clouds appear sometimes when they change what they are doing, the color change is a visual feedback that the click has been received. When they are working (or dead), that's the only change a click makes. If they are misbehaving or are about to, they return to work. The left side of each room is for work (causing deceleration), the right side for mischief ;)
