Me lovey this entry. Everything feels nice and satisfying. Super-polished.
I am throwing out all of my cacti how could they betray me like this?
Fantastic game, with an excellent range of enemies (god I hate the snakes lol) and a perfectly designed set of stages that really ramp up in difficulty as the game progresses. The loop drawing mechanic is incredibly well thought out - the mix of time pressure with the need to draw accurate circles to get maximum damage is very stressful, and doubly so once the need to prioritise different enemy types is factored in.
Art is charming (the cowboy's lasso whilst the mouse is active is a lovely touch), and extremely clear to read at a glance which is essential with so much going on.
Also, I really love the NES-like cover art :)
Perfect scores! This was one of my favorite games on this jam. I haven't experienced a bug, the design is very nice, and the gameplay is fun and on theme. Amazing job to you @videozax!
The most creative take on drawing loops by far. Really great mechanic of having things to avoid looping. Enemies were all well designed and the game was well paced.
Great game! This is a super cool concept for the theme, and it was executed quite well!
Simple but addictive gameplay loop (pun intended). Really liked the retro game feel, and how lenient the circle drawing was. Overall really fun, wouldn't mind playing this again!
I believe that loop/circle drawing games were a natural first thought for many jammers this weekend, and at least a few followed the thread to lasso-slinging wild west aesthetics, an impulse i found myself only barely dodging. There is of course always the second question that rises forth from it, how do you prevent the player from just circling the entire screen? Lasso Legend very simply and deftly answers the call with a single word : "cover", you've done my inner cowboy proud, partner.
Super fun game. Has a good variety of enemies and mechanics. Loved the final boss.
Really creative idea to incorporate the draw a perfect circle game from neal.fun (I assume you got the idea from here) into your game.
