Really addictive style of gameplay little bit confusing when i played first as i didnt read the instructions but got used to it after a while. U could add some powers at certain high points and make it into a full fledged arcade game.    One of the best game of this Jam for me tho. :)

Cool concept for a score based game! It was definitely easier to play with keyboard for me. The enemies kinda showed up super fast and their projectiles were really small, but they got simpler to deal with once fully on screen and in their place. Otherwise, good job. Movement felt pretty good too; mixed with the simple concept of making the loop, I enjoyed this one.

I'm actually super glad that you mentioned liking the keyboard controls. I was debating with myself whether or not I should keep that option in for the updated version. Thanks for the review!

Played this for longer than I expected to! This is a really neat concept that I'd like to see in a more polished state.

One thing: I noticed that enemies die when they fly into a closed loop, even if the loop itself is empty.

Developer

Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm actually planning on expanding & updating the game after the voting period ends. If you're interested, feel free to stick around.

Very interesting! Sometimes the enemies spawn very near the border, and it's hard to kill them, otherwise, the game is very nice and addicting.

Good job!

Fun and addicting, one of the best use of the theme, though I felt the helicopter sometimes stick around things a little that is something you can fix in the post-jam version, overall good job man :D

Thank you!

Such a neat mechanic that I wish I had thought of it! If you keep the mouse controls in going forward, I might see if you can get it to follow a bit quicker (and it may benefit you to add some sort of change to the mouse cursor if you keep the black and white color scheme, cause mine got lost a lot). But I see you're gonna keep working on it, so I'm excited to see where it goes!

The mechanic was very well done use and i truly enjoy

I liked the idea, it's clever and original with a good realization, it's quite addictive and makes you want to beat your high-score

Fun game with a clever gameplay mechanic. Great and original use of this jam's theme

That was cool. This is a very unique gameplay i've never seen it before, while it's really entertaining ! I love the way you made your game simple and efficient, this is really cool !

Great work :)

Submitted

this is an interesting take on loop and i really enjoyed it, made me want to keep playing to get a higher score! good work!

Submitted

This game is fun, there are some things that i didnt like:
The bullets are too small i think
Too many particles/effect when defeating an enemy
Besides those 2 things its a great game imo

Developer(+1)

I really appreciate the feedback! I can't do anything while the jam is still going, but I'm planning on updating the game after it's over in case you're interested in sticking around. :)

Saw this game on stream and just  wanted to say its super interesting how you implemented the line mechanic. Great game and congrats on this beast of a success. 

Developer

Glad you appreciate it!

For those of you who don't think the game is difficult enough, you can increase the game speed in settings. Playing with arrow keys could also add some difficulty.

Submitted

Pretty cool way to use the "Loop" theme. Gameplay gets boring after a while though as difficulty doesnt increase much. Still quite good though.

Submitted

Interesting game and very original! I had fun playing

Nice game!
