i loved it! the design, the theme, the creativity on everything was amazing!
Oooh nice take on the concept of loop. And it works quite well! It's hard to figure out which combinaison will work best but I'm loving the idea of this game. Great job!
I love this one :) Very addictive and satisfying to watch if the strategy I planned for works out in the end.
I could see myself getting very addicted to this! Great job. The artstyle is perfect and that satisfying crush effect is sooooo pleasing. This would be perfect for mobiles. You wouldn't even need to add anything else is pretty much perfect as it is. A perfect 5/5 for me, I hope more people play it!
Artwork and gameplay idea are amazing. Great work for a team who just met!
Cool game. The automation made sense and I love that it takes the time to teach you with simple mechanics first. Reminds me a lot of super auto pets (but without the combat). I can imagine someone smarter than me making some crazy perpetual motion machines. Good job!
Really fun and unique game. the core mechanics are design very well. congrats!
Would love to receive your feedback on my game too <3
Really fun. I made it to round 8. Great job team.
Really fun and polished game. Game loop was extremely satisfying and the strategy once you understood the game was really cool to think about
This game blew me out the water, Super unique concept that fits the theme perfectly, is really well balanced and executed wonderfully. The sound fits perfectly and the art has a really great charm. I almost couldn't put down the game.
Great Job :)
Thank you so much for sharing, I'm happy you had a good time! We really tried our best. :)
Amazing game
Really fun and addictive! I would love to see a mobile version.
Thank your for playing the game! 🙏
You can already try it on mobile directly in a browser. Though it might be hard to place creatures when the loop becomes very large, 'cause the hitboxes.
Holy fk this game is so good. Probably my favourite game so far. Simple and effective use of the theme. I'm already on loop #16 as I write this and gonna keep going. Good job team!
Just wish I could speed it up by like x16.
EDIT 1: STACKING WOLVES IS OP!!
EDIT 2: My circle is so large now that I can't place things properly.
EDIT 3: My circle is so large now that the music slows down to 50% during the loop phase.
EDIT 4: It's been four days and I haven't seen my wife and kids. The only thing that matters is to keep the loop going... jk but had to stop because the loops became too slow :(
Thank you so much. As my first proper jam, that means the world to me (and to us !) 🙏
Just gonna copypaste what I said earlier to somebody else lol:
NASA Computer > More Loops > Profit (?!)
Can confirm, his wife and kids are still out there looking for him (I played the game as well and it is amazing how fun it is. It would be amazing if it scales properly as you get to higher levels!)
Our time wiza wasn't competent enough so we couldn't put in higher speed options :(
i really like the artwork its so calming and super cute the animals are warming my heart
The concept was unique and very interesting
one thing that I wished was better was the tutorial it took me a bit of time to understand but still a very enjoyable game
well done!! is you like to try my brother's game its here :) https://zyhu.itch.io/pool-loop
One of the best entries I've played yet, this is such an addictive game! And sooo much content for such a short jam, wow. Very well done, especially considering you were 4 strangers, crazy! ^-^
Would love to see this expanded even further :)
Thank you so much! That means a lot. ^-^
Very fun game, Well done
LOVE this! The art is so cute, which is what pulled me in. The gameplay seemed fiendishly simple until it unravels an addicting loop, I spent way longer than I care to admit looping and I could go endless. A highlight of mine for the jam for sure! - Crow
Thank you so much! <3
Very cool and unique! Well done :)
Very cute, and complex really quickly! I could definitely see folks sinking a lot of time into the gameplay.
cool game one of the more unique ideas from what ive played so far
