LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Planet Hopping by Hjalte 2020-10-09T10:54:59Z

I like this planet-hopping game.

The art, colours and characters are excellent.

I did struggle with shooting things on planets. Would be awesome if the bullet travelled around the surface.

Good level of polish though and a great entry.

Infinite Cycle by Kirill Nepomnyaschiy 2020-10-06T10:40:47Z

Hey I thought this was a great strategy game. I like how the loop sends out drones to attack you and also repair itself.

Great concept and fun to play, once I'd figured out what was going on.

Minotaur's Labyrinth by JOrbits 2020-10-12T17:54:57Z

Liked the minimal theme and colours and the gameplay was cool. Took a while to figure it out. A surprise once you do though. Really nice!

Loopy Mansion by Sarah 2020-10-07T06:46:59Z

Love the spooky theme - will check when it's online.

Stugan by mechanicallife 2020-10-07T11:07:25Z

Did you render all that for the jam? Either way, fantastic job. Very atmospheric.

Bust-a-Loop by PeachTreeOath 2020-10-08T06:57:53Z

A brilliant game with a novel take on fighting.

Only thing I got stuck with was the buster dunk. And some sound FX and music would really make this awesome.

The idea of chaining the moves together is great. Really good job.

Dungeon - Repeat! by Stratcat66 2020-10-09T06:52:23Z

Hi StratCat. I've seen a few games where your previous attempts help you but I think this is my favourite. I found myself pressing R just to watch my little army of guys growing. You've done a really good job and the gameplay is not too taxing. Music and graphics are perfect for the theme too.

It's not easy making these kinds of puzzle type levels and it's well made here.

Nice work!!!

Sir Fishbottom and Also Head's TIME MOB by TyrusPeace 2020-10-07T06:59:45Z

Wow that's a brilliant use of the theme. Love the animation and the character too. It's good how you've differentiated between the active player and the clones. Impressive - especially for the time we had.

Crypt Loop by Los 2020-10-08T10:59:28Z

I like this game but wasn't very good at it. I wish there was a baby version with a few loops!

Very clever take on the loop idea and really well executed.

Good work :D

Loop Lock Malfunction by GuitarBro 2020-10-08T06:51:04Z

Hi! I tried your game and thought it was amazing. The graphics, controls and the way the HUD was integrated into the character was incredible. Sorry, I've not got any constructive criticism as I thought it was brill. Would love to try it with a controller. No idea how you got this done in that time.

Spinnerets by Jeremy Ryan 2020-10-07T11:09:53Z

Good looking game. Love the color palette and the graphics. Very cute!

A Night Around the Fire by arron-fowler 2020-10-08T10:46:46Z

This game is brilliant. The way it shifts from something comfortable to this eerie horror vibe is great.

Feedback:

- Space bar option to hide would be great - Some illumination on the player when he's running would be good too

The theme, music and setting are fantastic. Amazing job.

Caterpillar Cowboy by eldogg 2020-10-06T11:10:47Z

Love this game. The graphics and music are brilliant. Would have liked a little less slip and slide on the surface, felt a bit like ice. But other than that this is a top game.

Hang on, Bill! by zanzavar 2020-10-07T11:10:38Z

Great idea for a game. Very unique mini game. Graphics and humour spot on!

Kaiju Kountdown by Johnsensei 2020-10-07T06:45:38Z

Definitely got vibes of playing rampage on my spectrum with my brother. Nice idea and the art and character is great, along with the music. Mabye a little work to make the character move smoother but other than that, really good.

Sad Dads: Loop of Lawn Maintenance by Shay Cichocki 2020-10-09T06:55:53Z

Keep your spouse happy. LOL. Gave me a good laugh. And reminded me to clean the fish tank out later too. The pic of the dude on the front is really funny. I love your style and humour. Mabye the gameplay could be a bit faster and more arcadey. But good fun nonetheless.

Paper Loop by Nakami 2020-10-09T15:56:32Z

Your character designs are brilliant and a great interpretation of the theme.

Curse of Huh by JagsyFox 2020-10-07T11:16:31Z

Reminds me of an old speccy game for some reason. Great work and a cool idea.

Mandala Spa by Danielcmcg 2020-10-07T11:13:55Z

Nice idea and an interesting interpretation that fits theme well. As other said, nostalgic feel!

Aboard by Chris Mulholland 2020-10-12T17:51:06Z

Hi. I liked the game. Looking out the window was a good touch and could be expanded into a game on it's own. I wasn't sure what I was meant to be doing with the mop and bucket, but it was fun covering the floor. Love the graphics. Very nostalgic.

Waves Industrial by Wolfier 2020-10-07T06:39:38Z

Love the character, art style and the fact you got all this done in a few days. The sounds add a lot to the game too. And the strategy element is great. Very impressive work IMO!

One Slicing Minute by Edalbung 2020-10-07T11:11:41Z

Love the graphics and animation on this one. Cool idea. Now I want to see one with zombies and swords. :)

Stuck in a Soup Loop by Doot 2020-10-08T10:56:36Z

This would make a brilliant iPad game. My kids love this kind of thing.

Love the full blown tutorial, the theme, the characters and the ideas.

Well done!

Domain of the Time Wizard by BookerBlueJay 2020-10-08T10:50:01Z

This is one of my fav's so far. Love the art style. Gives me some C64 vibes.

I really want to make a game with this but with random levels.

The controls are really slick and have a great feel.

Don't have any criticism sorry. Love it!

Lasso-Loop Whiplash by Adiwan 2020-10-07T11:14:46Z

WOW very impressed with the production values on this one. Impossible not to laugh at the poor guy getting dragged around behind that hose. AWESOME

Grind by ChickenCastle 2020-10-07T06:54:41Z

I love the pixel art style and the look on the characters faces makes me smile for some reason. Well done

HamsterLoop by Misterm 2020-10-09T10:45:38Z

Good game, was playing it on hard mode by not changing direction. Then it got a bit easier! Really good that you made so many levels in the short time. Must have taken some testing.

Theme, character and idea great. Good music too.

Nice effort!

LoopLab by l30nard0_b 2020-10-08T17:20:23Z

Love the art style! Wasn't sure how to kill the enemies though.

Project L.O.O.P by PeteH 2020-10-09T10:35:38Z

This is a brilliant idea and the atmosphere and lighting are fab.

Very ambitious for the time frame and great to see you got it done.

I'd make the doors a bit less sticky and pull them all the way out, so the character glides through easier, but just something small.

All the best and keep up the good work.

SUSHI INK. by pbootly 2020-10-06T11:48:01Z

I was thinking about how to do a 2D tentacle but the way you've implemented it here is fantastic. Props to the music and art too. Great entry and so cool seeing ideas like these come to life. Love it!

The final loop by IndieQuest 2020-10-07T06:56:14Z

Now you're talking. Tower defense is my kind of game. I like the way you've managed to work in the theme and hit on something unique at the same time.

Breakout by Ally Lee 2020-10-09T06:48:09Z

Beautiful graphics and the looping idea is cool. A bit like a chilled out version of minit.

Well done!

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-06T08:06:13Z

Thanks! I've sorted that out.

Sorry about that :D

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-06T10:50:45Z

Thanks for the feedback and for trying out the game! :D

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-06T18:46:12Z

Thanks for the comments. I've added a skip option and also speeded up the text bit. It was a bit of a slog to wait for all that. :D Thanks again.

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-07T11:05:40Z

Hi thanks for the comments. I've increased his speed a bit. Much appreciated!!!

Dead Loop by Tom_A 2020-10-09T17:38:00Z

@life-Lich thanks for checking out the game. Much appreciated!

GHOST FROM JAIL by Gilad Bar Ilan 2020-10-09T17:36:57Z

This is a cool game. I like the spooky vibe you've got on the go here.

Mechanics are good - especially the T to teleport to a random location.

Nice work.

Space Loop by IndivisibleParticles 2020-10-08T10:58:29Z

This is a neat concept and I didn't think of orbit as a loop, but it's a great idea.

Be cool to try a variation with one button, where gravity is pulling you down and the button pushes you out.

Only other thing I thought was it would be cool if the nose of the ship dips down when moving down and up when going up.

Great little game and well done!!!

This Will Be My Cycle by don-tnowe 2020-10-08T17:00:53Z

I loved your game , it was really cool , great job.

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-07T11:08:58Z

Hi - a fellow construct user! Liked your game. One thing I'd change is so I can press up and left and it will still move. Other than that, really good!

Time Saver by Daniikk1012 2020-10-08T17:32:43Z

This is really hardcore addictive stuff. LOVE IT but I only killed 4 enemies.

Do-Nut Stop! by Javid Ladhani 2020-10-06T11:43:32Z

A clever idea and love the donut as the 'loop' :D Very impressive to get it done in the time we had!

Looped by Leo Red 2020-10-08T06:46:00Z

Hi! I like your game and think the idea and the simple gameplay is really well done.

Love the minimal graphics and would like to see it in different forms with like zombies coming in and people shooting them.

Tiny criticism was with the controls. It felt a bit stiff when going from moving up to moving left.

But a brill idea and well done!
