One of my fav games so far! Not the most complex one but as a whole, the theme is nicely applied, the game is really polished, it feels fantastic, and the ascii art is really cool. It get's too hard kinda fast, at least for me, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The mouse tool feels a little underpowered compared to the dash. I guess it is meant to be used for closing almost-loops, but being the first tool most of the people (i think) will try to use makes you think "that's all the line i got?" Anyways nice job

As everyone else said, the art was incredible. Animations were amazing, even the sounds gave a good arcade-like crunch. Did you use jfxr? Great job on it. I like the drawing mechanic in theory but holy hell was it hard for me to get a good grasp on it. It reminded me a bit of Kirby’s Canvas Curse but much more complex.

It's OverMan!The ascii art is amazing. It took me awhile to figure out how big of a loop I should be making. I think there need to be a sound when you run out of stamina or a temporary change of color to the last line of the loop that you’re drawing. The game was also very hard. I never really figured out how to use my dash to draw loops.

Shape HerdTold u i'd be back! This one is truly unique due to it's ASCII artstyle. I felt like its too hard to envelop hard moving enemies tho due to how fast u ran out of lines when just using the draw tool, but it all got better when I figured out you can throw lines way higher when you jump! I did me best but sheesh its a hard game when u start getting overwhelmed! Good game!

TapAwayOh man, this game is really tricky, but very cool! The artstyle is obviously amazing, and the gimmick of having to balance multiple tools in order to lasso enemies was a neat change on the formula! That being said I am terrible at this one! Nice work though! You made something really cool!

Orbital Slam!I've played a lot of lasso games already this jam, so my frame of reference for them continues to expand. This one is fun, but it suffers heavily from unforgiving loop detection combined with fast enemies and a tight stamina bar. It gets very easy to feel like actually killing anything is impossible. Beautiful art and sound design, though.

One Hell of a BirdThe visual aesthetic is really really nice. Also appreciate that there are several enemy types. The only issue is that the loop detection is a bit unforgiving so it takes away a bit of the fun. I also think the audio could’ve been better. Regardless, I still had a lot of fun with this! Always nice to see another excellent loop drawing take on the theme.

Looping For LoveLooks like a really cool game! I've always loved the idea of making a game with only characters from a font.
I recommend making it browser, but it's fine. Good luck!

CORE//LOOPWOW, super cool graphics. I liked that you need to get familiar to the moveset so you can make sick combos. I'm pretty bad at it though XD. I think would be better to have a more explicit feedback when the stamina runs out and maybe balance the game a little more. Other than that the game is pretty solid. and yes, I actually read that and no, pineapple on pizza is not fine >:( (joking, never eat pineapple on pizza XD). Good job man :D

It’s Just 45 SecondsVery polished game, smooth mechanics, and super cool ASCII graphics.
A little challenging due to stamina limits, but so much fun!

The HomeworkThat's quite the hardcore game... though it's just my skill issue, probably (my highscore is 2355). The ASCII art looks really cool in this game, and the game itself presents a solid mechanic that is well polished, making it satisfying to kill enemies when you manage to do so. One small nitpick is I feel like there's lack of feedback where your Draw attack runs out. I think it is based on the length of the drawing, but the sound it makes when it runs out is hard to hear.
Overall, a very good submission with great execution and art!

RE:solveThe art here is amazing, I wouldn't know where to begin if I tried to replicate that style. Good stuff!
