How does your game fit the theme?
Loopy Larry runs in a Loop which changes each time he completes a full loop of the tiny planet!

I love the pixel art aesthetic, its really cute and charming. The music also suits it really well.
Some things to consider:
* I found the jumping to feel quite floaty which made it hard to get my character to do what I wanted it to. I think it could benefit from jump physics more akin to that of super meat boy, where the character begins falling as soon as the jump button is released (doesn't need to be that extreme but somewhere in between would be good)
* I feel like making the obstacles completely change each loop kinda defeats the point of it being a loop? Because it kinda ends up just playing like a regular endless runner. I think it could be more interesting if obstacles were gradually added, without removing the obstacles from the previous loop, allowing the player to use the skill built up from previous loops to traverse more complex obstacles.
I should note that I ended up making quite a similar game to yours, so I am definitely biased in that regard.
I hope that Chrome will replace their offline game with yours! ;) It was seriously smooth. Well done!
Haha that would be amazing XD Thanks!
Cool art!
Thanks! :D
Fun art, definitely incorporated the theme.
I think its subtle, I hit the loopy theme well ;) haha glad you like it :D
Definitely a loop. Definitely a great game! Nice job Timbo!
Cheers man <3
Great game with a very fun gameplay loop!
Thanks!
Wonderfully loopy.
Love and music and would like to see a leaderboard in an eventual update.
I'm toying with a leader board for the big version of the game, can't say for sure it'll make it in yet but hopefully!
Super Fast! Nicely done loop!
Please rate me if you can spend a min.
Thanks! :)
Loopy twist on "runner" games, fun and very polished.
cool game! like the retro arcade art style!
Cheers ^_^
I liked the wario ware aesthetics!
It was a big influence :D
Not the most surprising concept given the theme but it's a great example of what matters the most: execution. It's a well made game, that looks finished and well polished. And it's simply fun to play!
Perfectly does its job, congrats!
Thanks so much! :D I'm very much a fan of keeping it simple but putting as much polish on the finished product as possible :D
Go on larry, amazing vibe and well polished the game is also really addictive
Thanks! Larry approves of this comment :D
super frenetic game haha ! I really liked the artyle! good job :)
Thanks so much! :)
I've seen this theme done for the jam a few times but this one was well crafted at least.
Extremely polished game! The art and animations are really good and it's really cool to see that it is compatible with mobile. The music is also really nice although I missed some title screen music. The gameplay is simple yet fun, but i would've turned the music down a little and upped the volume of the sfx, because you can barely hear the jump sound. A death animation would've also been cool, but i'm just nitpicking here. Very good game and good job!
I agree about the title screen music, I may put some quiet calm music in the menus but I like the ramp up to full blown hyper Ska music when you start a run :D
That's a good call about a death animation. I'll look into it!
Thanks for taking the time to write such useful feedback <3 :)
Ideia muito legal! Amei o jogo e o jeito que você utilizou o tema!
Muito obrigado! :D
Simple idea executed flawlessly. Larry has to be inspired by WarioWare, right? Looks straight out of those games (in a good way). I love, love, love the aesthetic. Music, visuals, everything is fantastic. Great job!
WarioWare (and Wario Land 4) was a big inspiration yup! :D
Thanks so much! :D
The game look really great, it remind me a lot of the t-rex game on chrome (probably was the inspiration) Maybe it's me but at some moment the space between 2 obstacles was not enough for me to jump back, and too far to jump both so i end up loosing, it didn't happened a lot but it's a little annoying, other than tap it would be a really good mobile game that i'll download, it look great and is fun to play
It isn't just you, yeah sometimes the spawns are a bit wonky, I'm hoping to have that fixed post-Jam :)
Thanks so much for your feedback :D
Such an addictive game, I could see myself playing this a lot as a phone game!
I'm currently working on "Loopy Larry DX" which I wanna bring it phones! :D
