Where is the "LOOP" theme interpretation in the game... Did I miss it...?
The game is enjoyable, mostly, it's a bit frustrating when a flying enemy puts itself in a spot that's hard to reach and just does not move anymore...
Did not like the pseudo-deep meaningless narrative, bad luck, I am one of those people that gets sick of it really fast :,(.
The art is good however, I just wish the platforms aesthetic and physical existence had more emphasis, so you could distinguish them, (like with a different colour opacity or value).
The platforming is quite on point, navigating the levels feels decent.
The music and SFX are really cool, giving props to that.
Overall, missed the theme in my opinion, maybe it's making use of it but too weakly or too late.
A fresh spin on the theme "LOOP", I appreciate that it's not yet another "play my level again and again" kind of game.
However I wish there was more to the gameplay, and making a rhythm game relying on music for a web build can be dangerous (input and audio lag)...
I understand that yours doesn't, but then it makes the game off-putting ever so slightly.
The visual art leaves a bit to be desired, I know you were alone in this but consider teaming up with people that you trust and can do the art, or working on your artistic skills if you are so inclined to really do it on your own.
The game is very punishing, miss a beat and you're in trouble, it doesn't seem fair as this happens straight from the beginning as you are trying to get used to the game...
No worries about the quality of the game, you submitted something, that in itself is an achievement, trust me :)!
About the (?) space, there is some inconsistencies on the game, sometimes you just find yourself softlocked, I could not find the origin of the bug sadly...
A very interesting narrative driven inspiration on the theme "LOOP", I am glad to see something that stands off.
Something I would like to point out is the unfortunate lack of interesting and new gameplay, instead we are playing a bunch of dialogues, and I also that looping through the same dialogue, while thematically relevant, is not really something I appreciated gameplay wise.
There were bugs here and there, nothing game breaking but I still went "Oh is that supposed to happen" sometimes...
Otherwise neat art, could be better but for a game this length it's already honourable.
I am not a fan of the narrative driven game genre, so I can't really I did enjoy the game overall, even though the story really affected me emotionally and is somewhat nail biting (Is it paranoia or a real thing happen / delusional thoughts... etc).
Music and Ambience wise, I did kind of felt the hospital vibe, a very eerie and boring place to be and not somewhere you want to stay.
The game is way too long for a game jam, try sticking with a gameplay loop that doesn't drag on for too long or you may lose some of your players in the process.
Overall good work, interesting spin on the theme, and good luck.
I did not understand right off the bat what the relation to the theme, 'LOOP' was. If it is playing the same level again and again then I am not really to into it.
Gameplay wise, the platforming is a bit jank sometimes, I ran through bugs too I suppose, but not too bad neither.
The game is visually really cool and the sfx and music are well integrated and fits the mood.
All in all I wish there was a different approach to the theme.
The theme interpretation, albeit really interesting, is kind of based on the premise that you don't have checkpoints in your level, which means that dying is infuriating.
In terms of gameplay I had a bit of fun, I just wish, as previously mentioned that the game had checkpoint but the theme would not have been respected then...
The game looks cute and minimalistic, there's not a lot going on however.
SFX and Music are nice, but the soundtrack can get a bit repetitive.
Very cool Noita-ish spin on the jam theme which was "LOOP", I like the new take on the vampire survivor genre.
The gameplay is really on point, and the theme was tied to it, which I particularly appreciated.
I wish I had more to do than just run around during the wave phases but then again I also have to account for using my spells most effectively with the movement I do.
The art is amazing, the sfx are punchy and satisfying and the music is really tickling my fancy.
I wish however that the rounds weren't as long, and maybe that I had more to say in how the spells were casted.
All in all a very impressive and polished result for this 4 days jam.
The "LOOP" mechanic was added in a bit of an awkward way, specifically building tiles around the island is unnecessarily complex especially if you are trying to do something specific.
I still appreciate the effort into integrating the theme but I think it was still done a bit poorly.
Also I have no clear objective, (am I going as far as possible? am I just chilling building a landscape? do I have something to complete?)...
The assets are lovely, but the gameplay is off.
I think there was a missed opportunity there, a hex game with loops could have been really unique and awesome at the same time.
Decent project, but please provide a web build for next time! It changes everything:
I enjoyed the game, just thinking here that the theme "LOOP" has been poorly integrated (You loop over the same map over and over again, albeit with better cards / stats...) I don't know, wasn't too riveting for me...
I guess the enemy also loop in their attack...?
I just wish the implementation of the theme was smarter, I don't like playing yet another game requiring me to play the same thing over and over with slight changes.
The assets are pretty cool, like the music and the SFX, an the art is quite okay!
Another instance of playing the same level BUT with a cool spin which I appreciate.
Some things needs better explanations in terms of gameplay elements / tiles, also memorizing and abstracting the tile layout and player movement is a bit of an ordeal and not that fun at the end of the day.
Maybe the puzzles are a bit hard, I got stuck almost immediately but then again maybe I am too tired / not a puzzle person / dumb.
Cute graphics but the lack of responsiveness from the UI is a bit of a shame.
Nice music and neat sfx, but nothing too special neither.
Overall very interesting game, challenging puzzle, but leaves to be desired in some aspects.
I love the theme interpretation, it's refreshing from the games that gives you the same level to play over and over with sometimes a slight change, and on it's own it's really cool design and technical wise.
Amazing yet again refreshing artstyle, and even sfx and music assets are really lovely (no pun intended).
The gameplay loop is cool, a unique puzzle of sorts, satisfying as well yet sometimes challenging, a bit easy on the problem solving aspect (I found the solution pretty much right away on the beginning level) (Maybe it gets harder afterwards but it needs to pick up the pace sooner if it does.)
The theme "LOOP" interpretation leaves to be desired, I wish the game had a more creative way to approach it.
Otherwise the game is really good, especially for a 4 days game jam, there is a looot of features, quality of like elements and juice + feedback.
Good assets, whether it's sounds, music or art, really appreciated all of those.
Interesting backstory, I do like the dialogue (Or what I got to see of it, you want to change the speed and maybe wait for input before going to the next prompt).
The gameplay is cool as well, lot of elements to play with, maybe a bit too much considering the people are not going to play the games for that long, but at least if you do really like the game you have quite a lot of ground to enjoy yourself.
Good stuff, excellent work, just make a better interpretation for the theme next time please :).
