Really satisfying to build loops that will complement each other and lots of customisation options to make different strategies. Makes me think of Final Fantasy 13 combat where you setup your strategies ahead of time and then choose from them during a battle. The battle itself could maybe have some more elements on screen, such as the contents of the loops to help you keep track. Also, based on the thumbnail image you chose I was expecting a DJ based game.
Love the idea of beetles fighting and is really addict of the game. nice vibe!
Great vibes on this one, from the grungy underground punk atmosphere to the music. The atmosphere of this game is definitely my favorite part. It did seem a little difficult to strategize and once I set my loops I just had to auto-battle and hope the randomness went in my favor. Agreed that a speed-up option would be nice. One UI comment I have is using Space to advance dialog seemed unnecessary - most other menu and UI was done with the mouse, so why not the dialog as well? I appreciated that I could skip the text scrolling by pressing Space though. Good work!
Like that you can still strategize during the battle by selecting one of your sequences, woulda loved a x2 speed option though.
Anyone who's having trouble with the game crashing when cliking loop 1, it's because you have to equip a move to each slot before starting the battle, it's a stupid bug. Also thanks everybody for trying the game and being so supportive <3.
I got a crash when I clicked the loop button :/
But I loved the narrative and the music, so appealing, to sad I was not able to test :/
I really like the art and the music, but i could not get the controls. I like the idea tho.
I'm not going to submit a rating since I couldn't play--I got a crash when I clicked Loop 1 every time, couldn't try it. But I dig the vibe and concept!
I liked the character art and chill music.

Awesome, love the vibe of the game!
The artstyle is so cool
Actually a very solid game. I love the mechanic where you customize your own loop "weapons" and strategize which one to use in the battle. Would love a "Next opponent" so my choices can be more informed and a x2 speed for combats!! ALSO the art, graphics, and font were all very juicy.
Absolute peak.
