LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Shadow Loop by Mekuri 2020-10-09T13:31:14Z

Nice to see something different. Was an exiting play and who doesn't love a bit of security layer hacking. Well done!

At It Again by johnbrynte 2020-10-06T19:22:05Z

I like it. Although it took me a while to realize that I could attack the enemies. Great potential here.

Broken Mower by DigitalCrest 2020-10-09T13:55:38Z

Something really relaxing about your game. Is it possible to cut all the grass before the battery runs out? That is why will keep playing until I find the answer. :smiley:

Minotaur's Labyrinth by JOrbits 2020-10-12T17:32:01Z

NICE! At first I thought this was an AWD finger dexterity training game for Esports, until I figured it out. Mind bending! I definitely enjoyed it, great idea!

Just Again by zeu31 2020-10-07T19:30:49Z

It was not apparent at the start what the objective is, but I finally got the idea after a few bumps. Nice!

Loop Factory by Nitero 2020-10-07T19:38:57Z

This was a very well done and fun game. Love being able to time the moves with the music. The art is fantastic! Love how he bumps his head and falls apart on a restart.

Trapped On Track by Mads 2020-10-06T20:00:17Z

Great game, I made the top 10. Whoohoo! for now... Great balance between gathering resources and managing problems. Fantastic job!

INCORPORATION CORP. by Kilian BAPTENDIER 2020-10-06T18:53:53Z

This was addictive fun! Very good job! It can be as chaotic or controlled as you want it to be. Personally, I just love to spam the X button and see stuff fly. :smiley:

Stuck in a (Time) Loop by staircase27a 2020-10-10T12:19:15Z

Love the idea and takes some planning, especially when you get to the third level.

Stuck in the Room by ianmust 2020-10-06T19:35:41Z

I like this kind of puzzle. The save and load mechanic is great. My only issue was that I had no way to retry a level if I had accidentally pushed a block into a corner. I had to quit the game and start again. Other than that, great game!

Anybody there? by fumybulb 2020-10-10T14:08:15Z

Oooh I love games giving music as feedback! Such a great use of it in this one! Feel like this might be a mouse controlled one as well. Good Job

Fault Outcome by VPhyre 2020-10-10T12:30:12Z

Had fun figuring out the events that needed to take place. Loved the idea of watching the video tape to get a hint. The cups had me for a moment, but got it. Good job

Eat your cereals by Harksa 2020-10-06T19:12:10Z

I had a good laugh too. I got quite skilled in flinging sour worms into my mouth.

Paper Loop by Nakami 2020-10-09T13:45:55Z

Such a great looking game. Loved the art! The mechanic of the four pointers is quite interesting and can give some really cool gameplay. Would be cool to add some obstacles that can set you back a bit or something. For 48 hours, excellent job!

Orbiting Defense by Vimlark 2020-10-09T13:23:46Z

Like the simplicity of the game, yet appreciate the complexity that had to go into it. Nice job!

The Innermost Inside by Majadroid 2020-10-14T20:20:39Z

Great fun. I couldn't stop playing it! Great work!

Oops Loops by michaelaranda 2020-10-10T14:17:05Z

This was a great concept! Feel as if the death and card mechanic should have been introduced a bit sooner, but overall was a fun! Great potential.

Looping Gazelle by Maxime Cyr 2020-10-12T17:21:59Z

Great mood and I love the idea that the maze is looping. Great use of the theme. I really had fun, spider made jump, but was really fun! Loved the art!

Spirit Scouts by Emiliabea 2020-10-10T14:00:54Z

Great idea, just became a bit cumbersome to eventually guess the correct one without more hints as to who it could be. Loved the "Had to wear a mask" cat. Loved the art!

Duck In A Loop by Matt Lewis 2020-10-10T12:10:54Z

This was a fun game until I found myself upside down. Was something to get used to the controls as the camera view changed around the pool.

Infinite Shootout by TheCeases 2020-10-10T14:49:23Z

This was a fun game and the addition of purchasing faster shooting just made it. Love your sounds and I thought the song sounded familiar... wait are we all monkeys dancing in your game? :smile: Good job!

Super Platypus Drifter by ricargoes 2020-10-06T20:12:20Z

Funny game. I liked the way the ship moves, nice mix of control and lack of control. The sound track just WORKS! :smiley:

BagJam by Ryan Paton 2020-10-14T22:07:26Z

Very cool idea. Can be quite fun. The colours could match a bit better and it always seems like the first passenger takes too long to get out of the queue. But overall, good job!

RunPower by mohmehdi 2020-10-10T14:42:20Z

Very cool concept! Loved the slow motion effect when you run low. Good job!

Yesterday Again by Ruling Spear 2020-10-06T16:11:27Z

Thanks for the comments guys. I actually found a game breaking bug in the Ruby scene. Just changed it now to load the correct scene. Ruby has some more questions for you. :)

Yesterday Again by Ruling Spear 2020-10-06T21:35:59Z

@patrickjr Thanks for the play. Yea, I was going to get there, but time got to me. I almost wanted to remove some of the trees and things, but it would have looked empty without it. :smiley:

Yesterday Again by Ruling Spear 2020-10-06T22:23:55Z

@ZeonBlue That is a great idea. The townsfolk should know here better. Thanks for playing. :smiley:

Yesterday Again by Ruling Spear 2020-10-12T11:54:58Z

Thanks @r2d48, time got me. I planned a whole lot of town folk, some bad guys, and to fit the theme of groundhog day, some random attacking groundhogs. I will definitely flesh it out some more.

Yesterday Again by Ruling Spear 2020-10-16T09:43:57Z

Thanks @peterfonts and @totteriludum. I love voice overs and got a bit carried away. Planned on giving the others voices as well, but I overshot the scope there. I didn't even get to the z-depth at all and had to fix some last minute bugs and collider issues. Well, I was happy with it being my first Gamejam. The characters are assests I bought about a year ago and made the animations easy. Next one I hope to get my own art done as I'm busy studying it now. Thanks for the play!

Retro Loop by Minos_L2b 2020-10-06T19:02:41Z

Well done. I liked the loop idea. The control response could be a little quicker, especially on lvl3, and I would give the track some kind of texture or something just so you get a sense of how far the ball traveled. At some point it looks like it is hardly moving.

Loopbot by ctpeepee 2020-10-10T14:34:36Z

This was looking so good, but without a visual indication of what is recorded or which beat does what, it was a but difficult. But I love the concept. Great artwork as well!

This Will Be My Cycle by don-tnowe 2020-10-12T17:45:25Z

Nice idea and play on the loop theme. Left and right controls felt a bit too fast, had a hard time to remain on the platforms, but had fun anyway. Well done!

Get Over Yourself by SpawnCampGames 2020-10-10T18:14:49Z

You had me at donuts. Love the mechanics and has a ton of potential. Good job!

BoreOut! by HOOLOP 2020-10-10T13:41:49Z

What a good stress relief! So wanted to throw a chair at the boss man. Great job!!

Shoobeat - Control a spaceship using a programmable loop of actions by MTabasco 2020-10-10T13:51:41Z

Love the use of the beat to perform the actions. Would be nice to kind of know what you will face when to kind of plan, but I still had fun.

Quest Loop by frazerbw 2020-10-06T18:22:24Z

I like the idea of the choose your own adventure. I think this has great potential, even if you show some occasional images or animations to get you immerged more.

Please Just Leave by Noam Blei 2020-10-10T14:25:34Z

hahaha. Had a good laugh. Nice Rick roll in the credits.

Overpowered by njs 2021-10-04T21:20:10Z

Nice! That was fun!
