I like how hitting the correct bullets together creates a note. It was challenging, but still fun trying to keep up with the rhythm! The notes provide good positive reinforcement.

How does your game fit the theme?
Every part of the game runs in a loop. Each shot adds to a looping melody, the combo loop builds until you miss, enemies attack in looping patterns, and even time loops by speeding up with every shot before slowing back down, creating a rhythmic loop.

Very unique idea and very cool execution of the loop theme. I love how it starts off easy and then becomes more difficult overtime just like my game! The sound design is amazing which is a big part of this game. It could've just been me but putting the game in fullscreen turns it into black screen. Do you think you could rate my game?

Loop-a-rangVery interesting idea and engaging game play. Really solid entry with lots of finish, I can see so many ways the game can be expanded on- superb work!

Loopy the CatReally fun game. The sounds and sound design were great. It definietly got too hard for me but I still had a lot of fun playing it!

Out of the LoopA fun little game. Super polished and could definitely be expanded on to become more than just a game jam game. Only critique I have is that I think you should be able to switch shapes with something like your numbers, rather than just cycling through with right click - might just be a personal preference though. Good job!

HellSpireNice little game. Was sometimes difficult to tell which ones were my bullets and which the enemies once they started going in all directions. I feel like I made it through the first levels just by spamming the fire button so never developed the skills to tackle the harder levels and therefore heard that tuba (fail) sound a few too many times to the point of it getting irritating.

My Morning JogThanks for playing! I made those earlier levels so you’d get used to shooting the same shape bullets one at a time to build up your multiplier, else you’ll hear that tuba sound if you spam bullets. It is a rhythm/reaction time game, so if you don’t follow the beats, it’ll be too hard later on as you mentioned.
This game was really fun and innovative! Really nice art style too!

Build Your Own Bullet HellReally interesting game! The idea of matching the bullets was a fun take on the bullet hell genre, really creative. I will say, this game is for a certain type of person - I personally found the switching aspect hard but that is definitely a me problem and not a fault of the game. Solid entry!
