Started playing this game because you know, we should be helpful and play other people's games. Yeah, so I'm STILL playing this thing after I don't know how many minutes. Thanks for creating this! Love it!
I like the audio in this game. Gameplay mechanics is a bit simple, I would suggest a little bit more player feedback, and slightly more obstacles / objects to use. I would also suggest a more uniform color palette, but that's just me! Keep on knocking out games! This is my 1st LD, also my 1st game ever, so nothing but respect for anyone attempting these sort of things!
Love this! So calming, and a very cool interpretation of the theme! Mine is not nearly as beautiful, but maybe you could check it out? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/loopys-run
This is a very interesting concept. I keep dying around the spikey shooty blocks, but was super cool to figure out how to use my dead body as a bridge! lol
Wow! What a cool game, nailed the theme!
Hahaha, Ratmazon! Love it! The Rat Bull, haha! Well done, this one made my day!
Nice game! Fits the theme, I was being an idiot at first, didn't realize I could actually move the camera when I was playing the block game
Cool idea! I was being all like TSA, was a fun time!
Interesting, but wasn't very intuitive, so I couldn't really get into it
@frank-gevaerts haha, it's definitely me dude, I was actually surprised in the way it responded to some of my antics, and although I think you did a great job, these types of games are maybe just not for me. Please don't let the comments of one random dude influence your opinions one way or the other, keep making games YOU love! Thanks for creating and participating! (oh and BTW, this was my 1st LD, also my 1st time actually making a game, and after seeing what goes into it, dude, I have MAJOR respect for anyone attempting these shenanigans!)
Love the art, but I just click all the time, bugs disappear, should I be doing something else?
I was really surprised at first, I went like "whaaat"??? I was expecting a top-down 2D side-scroller, well done! I had trouble playing it though, camera was weird and I didn't know what to do, but it's a nice change of pace seeing something a bit different than the rest. Oh and btw, I also don't like the camera control on my own game haha!
This is fun! I made it to the second level, but then things went sideways :) . Great game!
I think I broke it. Went up the stairs, then I think I fell down somewhere. Super cool concept though, love the mystery exploration vibe! Had fun floating around the mansion, figuring out the puzzles.

Sometimes I get options on the screen that I don't think should be there, like the option for "up" while I'm walking around.

Other than these minor nit-picks, amazing what you did given the short amount of time you had!
Loved this one! Very similar to what I attempted, but I think I like yours more :) . Having the bullets curve around the world is cool!
It doesn't want to start?
Love the art style in your game!!
Menu screen is pretty cool! I loved that I could just roam around freely, and I like the physics, I think it's cool my car totally flips if I collide with someone (when I'm going the wrong direction).
I liked the art style, but the controls need some work. Sometimes the character gets stuck
Love the art style! Gameplay is also intuitive, very well done! You should build on this, continue the effort!
Hey, what a great puzzle game! I actually ended up playing this, then forgot it was an LD game, so just kept on playing for I don't know how long! One day I'll also make a game that does that to someone! Thanks for sharing this with me. My only complaint would be that it's too quiet, if you added some simple "factory sounds" in the background, I think it would already go a very long way. Other than that, super cute game! Well done!!
Loved this game!
Super weird, but fun! Once I figured out how to move the dung up that hill! Please try mine as well: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/loopys-run
I managed to do a couple of laps. Although I didn't like the controls, it wasn't that bad either. I would suggest to add simple ramps and obstacles, that would add some variety. That being said, this is my 1st LD, also my 1st time making a game, so I totally get all the work that goes into something like this. Respect
Nice game! Keep at it! This was also my 1st LD, also made my very 1st game for it, so I know how it feels, you should be very proud! Keep at it!
Haha, cool game!
Suggestion: You could have the "towns people" you save drops little hints the player should use when answering the conversation quiz.
Great job! I really enjoyed playing it, although I don't know what I'm doing. I seem to always get more or less the same score, even when I just leave the game alone without touching it at all (which just shows how much I suck at playing games) :laughing:
I also think having debris damage the ship would be cool! If you have time, could you check out mine? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/loopys-run
Love the sound effects hahaha
Fun game, and an interesting concept!
The html version doesn't load it seems
Made an update - the player can now also search and hunt for "the thingy" which leads to ultimate victory!
Haha, love that! I'll make sure to fix the overflow problem in the next release :)
Yeah, I started off with another idea at first (Mobius strip) but that didn't work out, so I went this direction on day 2 of the jam. I spent so much time learning how to move my character, make and move enemies, creating materials for different things, how to build a game in Unity etc etc that I actually really ran out of time, which is why the level is soooo basic.
I'm going to continue working on this game because I want to finish the rest of the things that are still on the backlog: * More levels! * Holes / Portals in the floor * More complicated obstacles in the level * Enemies have the chance to randomly fire goo, slowing you down
That's what I have so far, the list keeps on growing :)
@mathemagician thanks for the great feedback! I'll work on improving the camera, and I'll also build an initial tutorial level to ease the player into the gameplay mechanics!
@frank-gevaerts wow, thanks for playing my game! I really tried to finish it in 48 hours, but finished it in about 60 I think. Was my first time using Unity as well, dude, BIG learning curve, I'm no game developer, but this whole experience has been incredibly fun and humbling. Will definitely be doing more of this! Oh and the graphics & sound - that was just what I could do, given my limited knowledge and XP, so I really just worked the idea into something I could actually achieve with my limited skillz, haha! Almost just like IRL
@jonrei good idea! I do stop spawning enemies if I detect FPS drop, that should be extended to de-spawning spheres! Thanks for the tip;)
@philipprapp95 noted - totally agree with that. I'll maybe add a filter on the camera dynamics, and player movement needs work! Thanks for taking the time to play!
@bas-hoogeboom nice, great tips! That would be amazing, having small animations here & there! Any ideas / suggestions ? What would you add?
@ciaranw & @sli I totally agree about the camera, for the next release, I'm planning on reworking that completely! I have some ideas on how to make that much better. I'm also working on many more new levels, I think this little game needs to be grown more. Add smaller animations, waaaay better menu screen, simple tutorial etc etc. SO MANY IDEAS!!!
@hunttis haha yeah, completely ran out of time to properly work on the UI! Will def fix that for he next release!
Like taking candy from a baby, haha
No idea how to play :) , I just keep on dying and dying
@adil no worries dude, this is my 1st LD, also my 1st time making a game, so I TOTALLY get what goes into making these things, nothing but big respect from my side! Don't listen to random people on the Internet, keep on making & creating!
@adil alright, after me being less of a moron, I totally changed my rating! Love this game! I think it's so cool that you add time for enemies killed :). I never read the comments because I want to form my own opinions on these games, well done !!
WOW! What did I just play! This game is amazing! Starts off slow, but man oh man, just stick with it! Love the music on this one as well, fits the tone of the game VERY well. I played all the way through, this is so very well done! I totally get what you meant about adding little animations in my game :)
I started with a mobius strip idea, but gave up after the first day because I just couldn't get the player from not falling off when going past a certain angle. Well done! This is amazing given the time we had!
No idea what's up with this "game"? Maybe it's just me
