How does your game fit the theme?
This game is part of the GMTK 2025. Our take on the theme loop is to have the player draw physical loops around enemies (inspired by Pokemon rangers :D), while you simultaneously loop through the the living girl scouts' abilities. We chose scouts as they learn how to use ropes, make knots and thus loop them.

I find it really cool you came up with a similar concept to me! Of course our interpretations are much different, and yours' element-based gameplay even gives it some strategic depth. Good job!

It looks like a really fun game, but I couldn't quite understand the main game loop. Really interesting though! Great job.

Rather finicky to get to grips with but I love the style and creativity on display. 

I want a Nintendo DS version. :P

This was chaotic in the best sense of this word! Just 3 friends having their best time (burning frogs and rabbits alive, but this is not war crime if you had fun). Also, great art!

Really nice artwork! kind of hard after a while when the animals break the ropes!

My game bugged and while all 3 girl scouts were knocked out the game still kept going, left it alone and went up to 16 minutes!

Thank you so much for checking out the game!  ❣️

We realised too late that this bug existedm so no time to fix -- but hey! World record of 16 min goes to you :D gz

Really creative concept! I loved the charming and super cute art style—it gave the whole experience a cozy vibe. Totally agree with the previous comments. Great job!

The art is so lovely and charming! The game was quite hard and got chaotic very fast (just roped the frogs to see what they would do lol!) I had good fun, very impressive!

Developer(+1)

Haha thanks!
Yeah it really does, I definitely would have liked to balance the waves better, and introduce the enemies that have unique abilities more gradually without them becoming too hard to manage, but we'll try to improve that for next time! (Although we might go in and improve the game loop after the jam voting is over :D)

This is so charming! And I agree with the previous commenters, this is impressive for pulling it off in the span of a game jam! The cycling mechanic making you think not just about the rope you're using now, but the next rope you're about to use, is super clever! Well done!
