I really like the theme and the gameplay feels quite unique.

Thank you for taking the time to play and rate my game! You rock!

Yeah, I think the biggest complaint I have is that I want more but there isn't more? It might be fun to see what other ways you can up the difficulty, like playing with more three dimensional space potentially? Maybe not, but I'm exciting to see what you do with it!

Thanks for taking the time to play my game! I’ll be reviewing yours soon!

Really fun and hilarious to play! I immediately thought of this long dog from Tom and Jerry.

However I thought originality was a bit lacking as there are many games and minigames with this kind of "step on a square only once" mechanic (like the 8th gym in Pokemon Emerald). Perhaps a new twist could be added to it if you're updating this for the future.

Agreed with MidnightBaker an endless mode and some UI polish would make this a super fun mobile game to mess around on

Really cute game with a clever mechanic. Adding some more levels (or maybe even procedurally generated levels for endless mode) and this would be a great casual mobile game

Great game! Add more levels and improve puzzles difficult then this is perfect.

Super love this one! Pretty much everything is great, sound effects are nice, movement looks and feels great, the puzzles are fun and cool, and the perspective switching really helps a lot, super nice touch. Feel like the game could've used some music or subtle ambiance, but a very very great time.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for taking the time to play and rate my game!

Yeah, I had the intention of adding some particle effects around to make the levels feel more dynamic. Some audio ambiance too! But sadly, I ran out of time and ended up wrapping up the game without it.

hahahaha, this is a must to play game for this jam! 

Really, a dog that wants to smell its ass? wow man, you're

I really enjoyed this game!! Super fun and each level put a smile on my face. I recommend expanding it and increasing the challenge of some of these existing levels! One thing I had trouble with was realizing one or two puzzles almost required the top-down view to navigate, but I don't recall those buttons being explained so I didn't actually realize they were clickable for a little bit! I wonder what kind of music would fit this game - let me know if you need a musician! Great stuff!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for taking the time to try out my game! I left a review on yours too!

The buttons were only clickable to support mobile devices; in the web game, the T button toggles the camera angle. I’m glad you were able to complete it, though!

And yeah, I hadn’t thought a lot about the music for the game but I’ll definitely reach out if I need some tunes! Thank you!

Very Cool, movement was a bit confusing at first but then its just so neat experience, great job Zcyon :D

Great little game! The moving directions were a bit confusing at first but after some experimentation and finally tilting my keyboard a bit my little monke brain was able to handle the cute lil dog without much trouble.

For a Jam game this is really well executed, from functionality and graphics to sound, the little "wof woff"! at the end of every level filled my heart with joy <3, i know the lack of music is something really noticeable but the game feel great as it is right now so adding music would only make a great experience even better.

The controls albeit a little bit hard to grasp at frist, are really simple and thats great, the change of perspective key is a bit confusing , i thought it was two keys, T and I, but it was only the first the one that worked to change back and forth, i feel like having this mechanic assigned to the arrow keys (a la fez) would have been great.

Level design was great, the puzzle dificulty keept increasing, never reaching a really high point but i had fun completing every level, i feel some mechanics could have been used more, the pressure plates and door were a nice addition but they present a new design element and maybe implementing it in more levels would have taken too much time for a jam of this lenght so that's understandable, i could see portals being present too, maybe some verticality, to tackle the level size limitation.

Art was top notch! and for that i can forgive the use of a third color, the yellow really pops and is really well used.

Already said enough about sound so id say all in all a great game! liked it a lot! Would love to see a mobile release in the future , with a custom level creator, 1 v 1 online mode, dog skins 🐶 and loot boxes 🤑
 
P.S. Would have loved a fullscreen mode, but that's maybe just me 🤠

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play and rate my game, Eber!

This game was designed for mobile devices so a mobile release might come up someday. Although right now I don’t have plans on expanding on the LoopDog-verse so it’ll very likely be a mobile release of any other jam game I come up with.

The style of this game is on point. I did find the cardinal directions a little confusing at first but I was able to find my way to the tail!

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play and rate my game! I will be reviewing yours soon!

Yeah, the cardinal directions with the keyboard were something that was more of a consequence of this being a game designed primarily for mobile devices (where the controls are far more natural, so to speak). In future games, I might just make mouse-only controls so that the input is more comfortable to use for desktop.

The ouroborkos.

By the way, “Ouroborkos” is a FAR BETTER name than LoopDog. I wish I had come up with that! hahahahahahaahha

Very fun game! The puzzles are well designed. I like that you can change the perspective on the game, Nice work!

Love the concept, the puzzles are really well made too. The artstyle is also impressive!

Overall a really nice game.

cool concept, I love it, but the game is missing music and some of the sfx dont fit the game style (I think so).

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play and rate my jam entry! I will be reviewing your soon!

By the way, I had it in mind to put some BGM in the levels, but I ran out of time to search for them and put them in place so I preferred to not add them instead of risking adding something that would have been too distracting or that didn’t fit.

Real cool game, I played on the mobile and it worked very well! The levels are great and makes you try to catch all the coins everytime. And really creative use of the theme, I loved the dog :)

i REALLY enjoyed this game! even if its 3 colors

Developer

Thank you for taking the game to try out my game and leave a comment! I’m going to be reviewing yours soon!

3 colors = 4 stars on the Black and White rating; just in case!

its a dog that's chasing his tail. Couldn't be more adorable as a theme!! I liked the puzzle side of the game and the concept was brilliant. I didn't like the part that I could finish the level if I just press back and eat myself(don't know if that was intentional) The isometric style is an add that really sparks the graphic choices of the game, great props on that. In general, great implementation of the Theme (loop) to the game.. not sure if using Yellow color is against Tos, but sure it adds one more color to the 2 that were given. surly that game grabbed me to the end. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for taking the time to try out my game!

The fact that you can eat yourself just by going back is actually a BUG (I knew I had to bring you onboard as a tester like I did for Small Roll Call hahahahhahaha)

Submitted(+1)

Hey!

What a fun game!

I love the puzzle part of the game of trying to find the least amount of moves to collect the coins and complete the game by getting the other end of the dog! Was able to complete the game!

If you ever need music, let me know! You can find my contact on my itch.io page!
