You play as a circle going around a loop. You click to expand and collect blue circles which in-turn allows you to click and expand further. Not much other guidance or goal other than that. Not really very challenging either. Did do one run where nothing spawned and so I was just stuck the entire time. Very satisfying sound when you collect a blue circle. :)

Thank you for your feedback!
This is a jam game, created within 4 days, while having other obligations. I.e. I only was able to put about 20ish hours in. This is not a finished game.
- Yes, base idea, based on the game jam topic “Loop” is to move on a circle and expand it.
- Yes, The idea of the challenge was to make it more difficult to get more blue. And making this fun challenging.
But during game jam time I was not able to create a perfect balancing. 1. Balancing multiple parameters (scaling, speed, location of creation, …) is difficult as they depend on each other 2. I had several late bugs, which needed my attention. - No, there is not much guidance, as part of the experience is to find out how to better expand. Technically, expanding a spline without messing up is not trivial - this took me time to just be robust.
- Yes, there are seldom occasions when the spawning is too much outside. Combined with a scaling bug it leads to that issue.
- Happy you liked the sound. Which interestingly was the thing I was able to put least time in.
