Wow, amazing game, no notes :D Feels like a complete package and fully polished!

That was shockingly good. Amazing work! What a great difficulty curve for a game jam gam too.

Pretty fun game! love the UI for the player's health and upgrades, along with all the art, it's all of a really good quality. All the little details like the enemies being bugs and (trojan) horses,  the bombs being little chips the fact the arena is the player's head (I think?).

The game-play itself is fun and quick to grasp, although I feel a few too many enemies spawn in but it could be a skill issue on my part. (had some trouble balancing my own game and I think it ended up too slow.)

Speaking of my own game, it's also called BootLoop and defending against viruses.

Really satisfying to play. Had quite a few near misses, and it feels amazing when you pull off a dash through enemies to complete the circuit and fry everybody. Great stuff!

This is fantastic !! Art direction is so solid and the music is so sick !! I really like the spin on the concept of an electric circuit!

I'm shocked (pun not intended) that a game this polished got made in such a short amount of time.

The art? Amazing. The music? Amazing. The sound design? Amazing. The gameplay? You know it: amazing.

This is a serious top 5 contender for me. An extremely well-rounded experience overall. Great job!

oh my god i love this, genuinely no words... what a unique spin on the theme!! and fantastically created too

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said about the pixel art and music (I'm a sucker for Chipzel-like funky chiptune music), and the rest of the presentation is off the charts (I especially love the audio details like the introduction music, sound design on the electricity, and the interface bouncing to the beat. The UI buttons being pressed as I press them is also a nice touch). My main compliment is the enemy design - they're simple patterns, but they mesh perfectly with the core idea. That said, I think the upgrades are a little simple for a roguelike. I don't feel particularly excited by getting a little bit more health or an extra peg, and I think if this were to ever be expanded upon, I'd love to see some powerups that shake up the strategy a little (Something that affects the pegs directly, maybe? I'm not a great armchair designer). That said, my concerns with the upgrades are very small. I can easily see this placing high in the jam.

Incredible game! The pixel art is absolutely gorgeous, the upgrades (both visually and gameplay wise) are so fun

Everything feels great ;-;

Great game! Would play this as a full release.
Really enjoyed the movement, music and it's the best encircling game I played so far in this jam. It's tactical and fast paced, love it!

Superb game, loved the range of enemies, snappy movement and selection of upgrades.

Pixel art here is absolutely gorgeous, with so, so much character from all of the sprites and animations. The UI design is straight up inspired, I adore the little blister packs for upgrades and the little handheld hud on the left.

Music and sfx are just incredible, every interaction just feels so good and satisfying with the clicks and bleeps and ui bouncing in time with the beat. The sound of the shock is wonderful too.

Nice concept, I got really hooked. The game is very polished!

Submitted(+1)

Woah this is just dripping with style. The art is gorgeous and crystal clear, the UI inside the gameboy is a really cute detail, and the music has you dialed in from the first moment. Trying to balance coaxing the enemies inside the loop while you complete the circuit is a really fun balance, especially while you're trying to dodge everything else. Really incredible entry, thank y'all for making it!!

Really fun! The pixel art is really well made. The menu items moving at the same rythm as the background music adds a really unique touch.
