How does your game fit the theme?
Loop Dogg is all about staying in the flow and continuing the loop. Keep rhyming with the freshest bars, from a random selection of words, to stay rapping and achieve the highest score. Also, creating a literal loop from the word selection will help rid you of unwanted words. The bars never end until you mess up!

This is a really neat idea for a game! Word games are definitely not my strong suit so this could be a skill issue, but I unfortunately found that I was able to get a much higher score by clicking randomly rather than trying to make rhymes. It was fun to try and look for rhymes though! The art and sound also work really well together to form a cohesive style. Well done!
Yes haha its true that random clicking might be the best strategy.. A full release could do with some balance and a refresh on how we generate the words!
Glad you enjoyed it anyway and thanks for playing :D
Nice concept! I dont fully understand what im doing, but seems fun!
supa hot fyre
It's original !! I tried my best doing rythmes not sure how its scoring but I made more than 5000 points ^^
I really like the concept of the game. It's a bit too hard for me but I make me wanna keep trying lol
Neat concept, sort of like a clicking Parappa the Rapper. But its hard to accept just randomly clicking and looking for rhymes, you get a high score just by randomly clicking as fast as you can. Suggestions for improvement: add meaning! Maybe make a nouns and verbs section to pick from, and give articles and common words for free, give a little more time to plan between verses? ...then it becomes more of a timed fridge poetry.
Also very good name :D
fire af gameeeee, i love the name and artwork so much!!!!! this was definitely a cool concept that was nicely executed :)
at first i was trying to form coherent lines that rhyme, until i looked at the tutorial and started going ham lol.
great game <3
Very interesting and cute game. Sometimes you don't have time to form meaningful sentences, and because of this, strange and amusing lines come out.
=]
Very good job.
Started to play, thought wtf is this?
But the beat started and my clicks all missed!
Didn't do tutorial because that's too lame.
Had to lose a few times before I got the game.
The lyrics were inane, the words were plain, and why would I rhyme Rashid, that's just a name.
But this game be fire, didn't come to flame. It's unique, so it's a shame...
Cause I hit 25K before it froze. Maybe it didn't like the rhyme scheme I chose?
Either way, you know this be fun. Finding words, dropping bars, under the gun.
And fully aware this multisyllabic line IRL couldn't be done...
So I put in a good score, you know i voted... just so Loop Doggy Dogg can be GOATed.
Fire comment with fire bars,
I can tell you took your run far,
Loop Dogg status - achieved,
froze at 25k - as the dev I believe,
your bars indeed were too above par,
the game couldn't hack, and had a brain far(t),
glad this epic fail yet failed to mar,
your enjoyment of gaming, thanks for playing!
bro made the best word game in in 4 days
Art is killer and concept is super duper creative!! But in execution, it seems to not stick the landing... The UI is a double-edged sword where it's required in order for the actual "loop" aspect to come into play, but the way the words are just thrown onto the screen makes it hard to find any that make sense when strung together in a sentence, let alone words that rhyme. I really really really really do love the art and sound design and game on a conceptual level, don't give up on this one!! :D
Thanks for the honest feedback it means a lot! As is the nature of a game jam I completely agree that we didn't quuiiite stick the landing. Whilst I think it still manages to be fun and play satisfyingly, I (the dev) could've done with an extra day alone just tweaking how the words generated to make rhyming not necessarily easier, but certainly more intuitive.
If you find the time though, could you go into more detail about what you mean about the UI's double-edged-ness? I'm keen to understand your critique fully and with certainty!
Thanks for the kind words and glad you liked the heart of our game despite its flaws!
Yeah of course! So basically what I mean is that one hand, the word selection UI allows for the loop gameplay to happen, but also since the words are all kind of floating about and you only have a limited amount of time to make heads or tails of what words are part of that soup and where and had an even harder time finding which ones rhymed and how best to connect them. Oftentimes I found that the bars I constructed made no sense as an actual spoken phrase. That's pretty much it though, I had no other issues with the game and thought you did an amazing job otherwise!
interesting I see what you mean! If we do a full release, I’ll stay conscious of how the speed of the game and number of words on screen affect the players ability to make strategic decisions moment to moment :D
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!
Art works are fantastic!
Great aesthetic and take on the theme!
Dope idea, slowing down the timer/ allowing the player to formulate bars off rhythm might help it be more approachable. Like a difficultly mode or something
This is a really creative idea! I think it somewhat becomes either too difficult to rhyme words or too easy depending on selection but either way I still had fun!
I really loved the artwork in this game! I personally found the gameplay a little overwhelming, but I can see the appeal!
Very satisfying to play with the rhymes. Great game, good job!!
This is a cool concept! It took me a bit to get the hang of it but it was really satisfying to find rhymes.
Very creative!
Took me a little while to figure out what I was doing, but I got it eventually. The concept is interesting and with a little more polish could come out very nicely, but as it is finding words to string was extremely difficult, and the time limit was not very apparently at first.
All the same, neat idea, and good execution. Art was good, well done there, although visually it was a little overwhelming at times. Audio was solid. Good job.
