Our game features the mechanics of tying knots: not only do you make a loop out of ropes, but you get your fingers tangled while making knots - in fact, you're now a loop too!

i don't think my numpad is registering ://
but that's okay, because the captain is very hot and nothing else matters

Coastal CodesThat was a lot of fun. I love that mechanic. I wish there were more knots to tie. For the accessibility settings I was really hoping for more than 11 keys can be pressed. Please add more knots!
The visuals were nice too. I really liked the goofy rubbery hands.
- The first time I saw and S I thought I thought it was a 5
- Having to press E twice to interact was a little weird
This was a blast! Great job!

SOLThis might genuinely be the best gameplay I've experienced so far in this jam, absolutly love it
-interacting with the knots sometimes doesn't work
-I fell of the boat and couldn'd get back up
can you please turn this mechanic into a full sized game somehow? Maybe each key does something individually or you can change keys mid knot idc I want more <3

Kerker ReloopedThis game is awesome, one of my favorite for sure. Loved the art and the music. The 2d character in 3d is looking awesome and the game loop is too good to be true

Loop OS 1989 (GMTK 2025 Version)A nautical twister adaptation was not something I was expecting to see in this jam but a couple minutes and a few bent fingers later, I'm happy it exists.

Phoebe's iKNOTculationThe concept is genius! I love how twisting your fingers actually feels like tying knots.. that's next level ludonarrative harmony. Despite encountering some unresponsive keys/buttons, I had such a fun time playing. The graphics were cute as well, so 5 stars in all categories from me :)

while True: move("right")I had to engage octopus mode in order to play this game. I really love the visuals of the game! I feel like this could be a nice multiplayer game where your ship is constantly falling apart while you and your friend(s) are constantly trying to keep it intact by knotting things around. Keep it up!

Paradox TriggerGame was cute! Liked the concept and was excited to get tied in knots on my keyboard, however some keys didn't seem to align correctly. specifically number keys to the left of number keys I already had pressed wouldn't work? Maybe I was just missing something but sadly I kept being soft locked by this and after 4 game reloads I had to stop.
The game was generally charming art and sound wise and I think the idea was sound itself, nice work!
The idea is interesting. Also, as I don’t use a QWERTY keyboard, some keys didn’t correspond correctly, which made controls a bit tricky for me. At first, I felt like I was in a high-pressure situation, but it turned out to be more relaxed than expected. I really liked the difficulty slider at the beginning though, that’s a great touch!

RailoopI loved the music and the art, it really tied well with the concept of the game and loops. Personally I found it to be very creative, the artwork made the game feel lively and the music set the mood of the game. The only con would just be the fact that the gameplay with holding the keys isn't all too interesting but still very good despite that.
Honestly, I loved every part of this except the actual gameplay. It just didn't feel that fun to me and also seemed a little buggy where I would hold down a key and it would take a moment to respond. I'm not sure if I was making a mistake or if it was just laggy, but it wasn't super clear. Anyways with such cute little characters and art, I would've liked to see gameplay that centered more around that, but overall, I really like the tone and vibes.
This is a fun take on the theme, I like the kraken on the background.

Restore the VibesVery nice idea, love the pirate theme. Today I learned that my laptop will generally accept more than 5 keys pressed, but not with all button-combinations. Also props for the seagull sounds in the background! ;)
