Wow! this was so simple yet so challenging and fun! It'd be neat to have an anti-mode where you have to catch all the missiles

A bit more tense than I anticipated... Was fairly short and sweet to try this out, nice job!

Sized LoopThis was a great arcade game! Each click felt satisfying and started feeling frantic at the end. I like the chill game vibes. I could absolutely see this as a mini game in a larger game!
Submitted
Synthloop ProtocolNice game! Simple but efective. You could add some sort of level-ups and better transition when bullets speed up. But nonetheless cool game!

The Circling BlobA simple idea turned into an extremely entertaining game! I think you picked the music perfectly to create a weirdly relaxing experience that I thoroughly enjoyed 😁. My only nitpick would be that I would've liked additional UI to see what each power-up does instead of having to remember the colours. Overall, I liked the gameplay and found it to be a fun and well-balanced game 😎

Circuit ConundrumFun game! The premise is very simple but works well and the gameplay feels balanced. Took me a second to figure out that the white blocks are extra health (maybe it would make more sense if they were the same color as the health blocks). The music is nice but I feel like it would be more fitting to have something a bit more fast paced for this game (that's very much a personal preference though). Overall good game, can definitely see this a s a full game with some more juice and polish!

Catch That TailEngaging short game with replay value. Clear visual which are important such an arcade game. Could add icons for the powerups because I always forget what they did or I didn't care and just picked them up.

How To Repair 3325-TGood game!
I loved the concept an the loop mechanics feels pretty smooth, also the music makes a relaxing bullet hell gaming experience haha.
Well done!
Submitted
Looping RunnerSuch a simple game and concept but the execution is really good and its much more fun than you expect.
Music makes the game relaxing in a weird and unexpected juxtaposition which is kinda nice.
Lovely work. Well done!

WORK YOUR WAY UP @LoopCo.A simple mechanic really kept me engaged for longer than I thought. I ended up getting to a score of 135 and I was locked in by then to stay alive. Very fun little arcade game. I think some post-processing would do a lot for the retro art style!

Turtle All the Way UpI originally wanted to say its a bit too simple, but then I stuck around till I got 105 points or so, so clearly you’ve done something right :P I think with games like these, you can improve the experience by adding better visuals and polish. For instance, adding a little bit of glow and keeping everything smooth and clean shapes is a popular style. You did make the number in the middle hop a bit, which is a step in the right direction. The only real complaint is that no one is going to remember which ability corresponds to which color. They either need an on-screen legend at all times, or stylized logos instead of colored boxes.
I think the bullet spawning could also use some work. I was able to cheese it at times by just spamming clicks in a spot where they never spawned. Regardless, good job submitting a complete game!

CyberloopThank you so much for the feedback! I agree the powerups need better explaining (I forgot what some of them did myself while making, lol). As for glow, I use Godot and glow doesn't work for Html exports or I would have totally added it. If I continue developing after the jam I will definitely keep these thing in mind. Thanks!
Really unique take on the bullet hell genre. I like the loop movement scheme. And the lofi type music really adds a lot. A relaxing bullet hell? Who would have thought
Submitted
Hook and LoopReally chill and addictive ! Got a 117 score ! Nice game ! Maybe again I try later !
Submitted
Midnight LamentNot gonna lie but it seems the simple game but really addictive, amazing one really loved your concept, well polished and well made and the clicking sound was so satisfying :-)
Submitted
Poo FighterVery fun concept . I love how it starts very calming and chill and gets chaotic very quickly! I couldn't last more than 60s, I think my focus just gave up after that time. Great work!
Submitted
Circling Notesneat concept! felt responsive and juicy.
I couldn't really put any actual decision making into the powerups or what they did in the moment, perhaps a more generic currency pickup that let you choose your own powers at threshold or level change would have been more impactful?
Submitted
Circuit BreakerThank you for your feedback! I agree about the powerup decision making. I couldn't find a good way to implement them so I just leaned into making them cause more chaos :). Your idea is a lot better though. If I decide to continue this game, I will definitely look into changing them. So glad you enjoyed!
