A simple 2d puzzle where the ball's starting direction and position are given and you need to adjust the paddle's rotation to get the ball stuck in an endless loop! Finish it before the timer runs out for bonus!!​

Well that's awkward

Application folder:

E:/Ludum Dare Games/ludum Dare 47/loop-it

There should be 'loop-it_Data'

folder next to the executable

Yes, problem with the windows build

I renamed the directory named `New Unity Project_Data` to `loop-it_Data`. Then the game runs. I got stuck in the third level tho because of the ball shooting up instead of left (where the arrows were pointing) and the ball wasn't bouncing on the pads anymore. I really did like the game tho!

There is a problem with the executable,
Even after renaming it like @mrredbeard said, it wont work :/

Great game and cool concept, I like the idea you have to work out how to create a loop rather than being stuck in one initially. Like @mrredbeard the folder has to be renamed in order for it to run.

Renaming the directory worked for me, but ya the ball seems to miss the paddles and fly off into space. I wonder if its a side effect of renaming the file.

I did like the concept though.

I reeeeally like your concept and had fun playing through your levels. I think biggest improvement would be either to keep the initial angles of your obstacles or to keep the rotations the player makes. Anything else is polishing and isn't really a problem. Great job!

Ah it's a shame the third level doesn't work. Cool concept and I would like to play more

Fun game, I can see myself playing this for way too long.

@meenakshi Yeah I did, the ball shoots up and doesn't collide with anything.

Edit: I downloaded the first one, my bad! I'll download the fix now.

Edit2: Good game, would be a good one for mobile for sure

simple but effective gameplay, maybe a bit too easy/short.

Yes, this is a loop! Simple but very interesting! Nice work!

Hi :) Quite fun, though maybe a tiny bit too easy in my opinion, I found myself always follow.

The last level was a bit buggy for me, even in the version with the "bug fixed" postfix... I ended up going outside in the lower left corner, even though the paddle was the right way.

In any case, it was a quite fun experience, good job :)

Hello,
Nice for a game made in 72h !
I really like the bending of the yellow lines, this is the kind of details that adds to the overall concept of the game. And often you don't have the time to add this kind of details but you did !
Well done :-)

Interesting game! I like the simple concept and the countless level design possibilities it offers. I got stuck on the 3rd level though, where the ball would just go through the paddles without colliding. But hey 72h, how many bugs can we fix anyway.

Good work :)
