Nice take on domino balatro/roguelike, also very polished and tactile!

Simple concept but a nice style and satisfying to make loops. Feels kind of like Tetris when you clear multiple rows.
The bouncy momentum effect of the dominos annoyed me - it made it hard for me to place dominos precisely and they bounced a lot even when I just made a tiny mouse movement.

Loopy SheepThis is a great spin on the Balatro idea! So much scope for building out this idea with special domino blocks, special tiles that trigger on placement, so much possibility. More choices of 1-of-3 things!
We created a deckbuilder, because we love choosing 1 of 3. Would love your feedback if you wanted to give it a try!

The GraduationIt's probably the most polished game I played in the jam. I love the mechanic and the Balatro vibe (UI). Amazing job! no doubt this is in my top

Looping FaithThis game feels great to play. It was so easy with only 2 sized pieces, the L shaped ones usually mess my field too much. The only thing I’d change is how the mousewheel works. I usually use my index for both click and scroll, I’d suggest adding keybindings to rotate and allow to rotate pieces before grabbing them.

Loopy CarI love how polished this feels and the actual systems themselves are very in depth. Very cool!

Wrong DoorFelt hard to learn how it worked, and then it felt hard to do any actual strategizing to rack up points. Very narrow and unforgiving RNG at times. Very well put-together nonetheless.
Music gave me a blast from the past, also- only now do I learn it was the Royalty in Royalty Free himself, Kevin MacLeod. Holy hell. Thank you for that.

Conductor ChaosCool board game! I think it's a little addictive. Maybe because I like the aesthetics of dominoes.

Ghost WandererYour game is so good polished ! I was really pleased and relaxed. The only downside is i didn't understand how to score until five tries (i read your how to play but my brain didn't click)

SCALE & TAIL - GMTK 2025I didn’t expect dominos to be a really good theme for looping!
It definitely has the potential to be a really good game in general. Good call on not having a limit on score during the jam as it makes it fun to just experiment with what to place and make massive loops!
Though expanding the board made me a bit overwhelmed once the bigger pieces started to appear.
I do find it awkward to use LMB and the drag wheel at the same time. I think it would’ve been better as a click to pick-up-and-place kind of deal.
This game is fun, relaxing and potentially addicting.. I would love to see this fleshed out, actually!
