How does your game fit the theme?
Loop, somewhat morbidly, brought us to "noose", which made us think of the classic game Hangman, to which we applied the loopy Roguelite genre.

This game is the real deal: clever theme, enjoyable perks, tight gameplay. I spent way too much time on it. Amazing work!
I do think this is my favorite game so far. I just played it for 30 minutes and time flied by... And i would continue playing it. This is really fun
简约但不简单，，做得好
Nice game!
Nice game with great sound design and graphic design!
My feedback would be about the roguelike perks. You give a bonus for words of a certain length, but that is not something the player has control over. If the word you are given is not that length, you don't get to use the perk. It would be more fun if you gave us perks that we can use strategically!
Other than that, solid game!
Thanks! Yeah, that's a valid point - there's definitely a random element to the perks, but you can use them to choose which words to prioritise. If we extend the game there's a bunch of perks we didn't get time to add that should give more ways to strategise
Sounds good, I'm curious to see what comes of it!
By the way, it would be really cool if you could also rate out game! :)
Really fun! It reminds me of a lot of those wordle variants that have you guessing multiple words. The roguelike element make it an interesting puzzle to try to figure out the best strategy.
Thanks! Those wordle variants were definitely in the back of our mind when we were working on the multi-hangmen concept. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Such a creative (and morbid) way of interpreting the theme ... I love it! The combination of hangman + roguelite works perfectly! And solving multiple at once gets pretty hard.
Also, your game page looks incredible.
Very fun and addicting! Great entry.
I LOVE the artstyle and the silly animations, it also remind me of balatro a lot.
Hangman is weirdly fun. This roguelike hangman has revived the Wordle in me.
Thanks! We're also frequent Wordle players!
Pretty decent game, actually got really absorbed with this one.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great game, great concept, it's almost perfect right out of the box! Only issue is that I was getting 'c' and 'g' mixed up as well as 'u' and 'v' whenever the screen zoomed out later in the game
Thanks for the feedback, Gallow! And I have to say, nice username! ;')
The font and/or text size is an aspect we discussed revisiting if we continue this project at a later date :)
Absolutely loved the gameplay. It was genuinely difficult to put down. Great job.
Thanks, Kyle! That's what we're going for. We hope to come back to it and make it even more compelling.
Mmmm I love me some perks.
Definitely a perk of the job 😉 We had even more perks we couldn't fit in and some beautiful unused art so maybe one day!
I like the graphics, word games are always fun. The perks make this classic game a lot more interesting. Nice work!
Thank you for your kind words. Yeah, it was fun to take something so familiar and try to put a new spin on it (drawing on some very obvious influences).
This is the last thing i would have come up with but the concept and game work really well with the theme. great work
Thanks, Soleoyoyo! Yeah, we've seen a few games with lassos but so far I haven't spot anyone turn 'Loop' into a noose 😆
this one should really win.. i'd buy this on steam haha. sat and played for a while, i love all of the art and the gameplay is super fun, amazing work
Thanks! Your kind words gave us all a boost :)
omg, i would'nt be shocked if it was on the top games
Thanks, Guigo! Really happy you like it so much.
Did not wanna sacrifice any skeleton, but it must be done :(
This is so fun and really great idea!! Love challenging word games!
Thank you! We like them a lot too!
And don't worry about the skeletons; they're probably just hanging around, waiting for someone to guess their next word ;)
Can confirm. Skeletons are not hurt by these games of Hangman. We thought for quite a while about how to make a game about nooses not be morbid :D
I'm not a big wordgame fan but this was actually fun! Nice animations for win/loose and I really liked the "pick a perk" mixin from other games. Nice!
Great to hear we managed to a people even to a non-word game fan. We hope the roguelike elements are enough to pull people round. :)
Fun expirience! The artwork is really great, love it! Would like the perks to be more specific and deep, but currently the game is very nice!
Glad you had fun! In this current version, we don't tweak the spawn rates of the perks so you'll see a lot of the bat letter delivery cards, but we put quite a few more specific ones in there which you need to get the really big scores. If we return to it, we'll definitely add more perks and vary the spawn rates. We had some ideas we couldn't quite fit in to the game in time.
Ohhh okay, sounds cool! English is not my native language so getting higher scores was pretty hard. Thanks for the reply!!! The art and the development of hangman concept fascinated me!
