How does your game fit the theme?
It's about a character that is LOOPY, and the character LOOPS from in control to out of control.

The art is great, but I do wish there was more of a difference in the gameplay when you became loopy. Perhaps shots moving erratically, enemies having different movement patterns, etc. I personally found it a bit too easy. However as a fellow creator with a Scratch entry, I understand the coding limitations. However the game had so much personality!
Thank you for the kind words and good feedback! Well, as you may know, I spent quite a bit of time perfecting the balance. I made it on the easier side so that players can get more in the enjoyment factor, but also made the waves of enemies slowly but surely increase over time, so that experienced players can play for longer and get those scores.
Very unique take on the theme. I enjoyed blasting my way through the enemies, but found that hiding at the top made it a little too easy
Well, our game is all about user enjoyment, and the enjoyment would've been better since we didn't make it too challenging. Those loopholes were made purposefully, but John moving uncontrollably topped with the enemy count steadily increasing makes it enough of a challenge for most players. Glad you liked it :)
Really awesome game with a cool concept, though it would be nice with a little more visual feedback for when John switches in an out of control, but maybe thats just me!
Also would you try out our game? Some feedback would also be very much appreciated from such a talented team
Thanks for the kind words! We actually did add a lot of visual cues, such as the indicator bar at the top, and the eyes turning weird. Your game is also pretty cool! Keep it up!
pretty easy, but maybe it was the idea. Good job
well, making it relatively easy just makes the enjoyment increase, right? We actually made the waves of enemies increase over time to balance the game.
The atmosphere is so strong! Also the whole Idea of John being Loopy is such an interesting idea
Thanks! Loved your game as well!
You have a really clever take on the theme and a good artstyle, but the game's far too easy; I just spammed shots and moved down the enemy horde.
Thanks for the great feedback, well, we tried to balance it out by making it so the enemy count gradually increases, and making John not be in control for 10 seconds, well, every 10 seconds, but if it didn't feel balanced to you, at least that makes it more enjoyable lol. I mean, giving the player a good time is our priority, am I right?
It's a really unique idea that is well executed, good job!
Thanks, man! Loved your game as well :)
Really cool game and interesting idea! Had a lot of fun with this!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you liked it :)
cool
thanks
Love the take!! also the music feels very appropriate
Thanks! I appreciate it :)
Artstyle gives this game a unique mood, really! First of I was like "So I can just shoot at them, how easy!" and then I got loopy. Interesting take on the theme <3 You are also welcome to come and relax with our cozy game, so you are not taken by unconcious thoughts and get loopy :>
Haha glad to see you enjoyed it. I love your game as well!
The game is fun and I think it's pretty well balanced.
I'd make it so that john shoots automatically, cause there's nothing stopping me from holding the left mouse button, so it might as well be automatic.
I like how the theme was interpreted. Well done
Oh, I made it like that on purpose so that the player has some level of control. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked the game :) (BTW I think your game is superb lol)
I think it's a fun game it could do with some polish
Thanks for the excellent feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game.
wow. just, wow. this game is really fun, but also very hard when you can't run away from the enemies
Thanks for the great feedback! Yeah, we tried our best to make the game balanced, but as the loopy state of John just shakes around randomly, it can be hard to avoid the enemies, and he might run into them! All part of the fun though :). Glad you liked it.
