This was a fun game, I liked the idea of freehand loops drawn by the mouse as a solution to the puzzles with the added challenge of ensuring the line was the correct length. It seemed like the best idea was to keep all of your lines as straight as possible up to each block and your loops tight so that you could waste your length just before B and get exactly the right length. Some music would have been a bonus but its understandable that you weren't trying to go for that rating criteria when there is very little time in a game jam.
Overall a fun game with good potential.
Great concept, I really loved how you really have to start planning more ahead around level 10, I found I'd run out of length before getting to the end, even with all the loops, so was satisfying to figure out! Can be a little inconsistent with recognising loops at times, but overall really enjoyed the concept, really think it can be built upon a lot, nicely done!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I tried the idea of teaching the player in the first levels, it felt a good fit for a puzzle-ish game.
Sorry about the wonky loops, couldn't fix it in time.
Nice concept, i was entertained! well done, I had a bug maybe when i loop around object, But it s great project ! thanks
Thanks for playing! Yep, sadly I couldn't fix the loop bug in time.
Simple, yet elegant. Reminds me of classic flash games I used to play when I was a kid. The sound effects are very satisfying added a lot here. The loops were a little finicky for me, but I managed to beat the game!
Thanks for playing, sorry for the finicky loops! =D
Simple and fun! It reminds me of that node-connecting game from last year’s GMTK 2024—feels like a meditative experience.
Thanks for playing!
Pretty fun puzzle game for how simple the mechanics are. Last level was pretty challenging and fun, just needs more levels now.
Thanks for playing!
That's an incredibly creative but still simple way to interpret the theme, good job! It's pretty fun to plan the optimal routes to keep within the allotted length. And there many ways to expand on this, like nodes that need to be circles in certain directions, The loop detection was a bit wonky though, I could cheat the detection for nodes needing more than one loop by just crisscrossing the first loop a bit.
Thanks for playing and ideas. And yeah, sadly the bugs in the loops evaded me.
Yeah I imagine that's not trivial. There's the winding number (warning: math) but that is defined for closed loops, so a slightly different situation
Really really love this idea! Could lead to some super fun puzzles and would be a FANTASTIC mobile game. Hope to see this turn into something bigger! Would love to see more effort in the art or theming it like tying shoes or something like that to give it more life, but the idea is excellent.
I didn't plan much on the art or theming department, but a few different themes make sense. Thanks for playing!
Nice idea -- had some issues with clockwise vs. counter-clockwise loop detection but otherwise nicely coded!
Thanks!
Nice idea! sometimes if the loop is to close it didn't detect
Thanks for playing! Sorry for the loops!
Nice concept. Sometimes the loop detection did not work for me. As already mentiond by othres could be a nice minigame.
Thanks for playing!
Really enjoyed the game despite some bugs (the last level was cruel🙈🤣)! Great match for the theme too!
Given more time for polishing and more levels, this would be a cool and relaxing mobile game
Thanks for playing! And yeah, a touch screen would make a good fit!
A decent take on the "loop around objects" concept, and one that didn't hurt my wrist. Unfortunately the implementation leaves something to be desired as many of my loops simply wouldn't count and I had to start the whole thing over again. Thank you at least for providing the right click to reset option.
Thanks for playing. Yeah, I really tried fixing the bug in the loops, but couldn't to it in time.
When it works it works! Would be a neat minigame in a fully fledged game I think!
Thanks for playing!
This is the most relaxing game i've tried this jam. Gonna play it untill the end of the time ^^
Thanks for playing! Don't think 10 levels can entertain for such a long time , but I appreciate the sentiment 😅
Okay good point, ILL JUST PLAY THEM IN LOOP
Know issues :
Just use the reset option on the level and try again
very interesting take on loops! I like it! it often didn't recognize my loops, but I really like the idea
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I was stuck with bugs in the loop, sadly couldn't fix it in time. Such is the way of game jams
