Its really fun to watch the orbs go in and out as they hit enemies. The upgrades get pretty crazy too.

Very satisfying game, it's super simple but I had a lot of fun playing it, good submission!

Wow, What a unique gameplay. Had a ton of fun playing it. and the sfx fits it so much too. Truly amazing job. Congrats

Submitted

very satisfying shots but the sfx gets so loud hahaha. interesting idea though

I really like the main mechanic of the bullets, and how they are physics objects that kind of boomerang. The whole concept is very unique and well-done. My only issue is that the sound effects were pretty annoying, in particular the repetitive bullet sound, especially without much background music. Great game!

Really like the core game loop and the sfx, it makes some people annoyed but not in my case haha

I tend to enjoy tower defense games, so this one easily enjoys me and keeps me hooked! Unfortunately my biggest gripe is that the sfx of orbs breaking stacking up on top of each other starts to get extremely loud, which detracts a lot from my experience of the game. Culling the sounds or even a volume slider would help immensely! That being said, I did go through the entire game, and watching some of the bosses slowly die from my regeneration stacks was certainly fun to watch. I do like the idea of your defense also being your means of offense. Though I'm not particularly stoked about its relevance with the Loop theme, I still think it's a great game regardless. Congrats on making the game!

This is a super fun game! really creative, good job! I got to the finale. 

one thing, the upgrades, though you can buy them at any point, always seem to end up at the same numbers because some enemies require certain upgrades to be beaten.

This is one of my favorites. The gameplay is so unique and addictive! Love how the orbs are both your shield and your weapon. I’ll be looking out for more of your games :)

very nice, enjoyed playing it. At level 1-3 I thought regeneration is overpowered, afterward I realized I was wrong :D Interesting depth for something that was deliberately kept simple.

This was a lot of fun! Level 5 was a big difficulty spike. This could definitely be expanded into something more polished.

Oh I actually played ur game before the jam ended!

Submitted(+1)

Really good game, you definetly should complete it after the jam

Submitted(+1)

Really satisfying overall! The glass sounds are really fun and the duality of your bullets having to return while leaving you vulnerable is a classic but fun mechanic! A very simple little upgrade system but it was more than enough to bring a sense of progression, overall really decent entry!
