#### Welcome to the loop laboratory! Our scientists invented the possibility to "save" things in time. With this technology, you can return items back in time or loop them. Using this invention and your imagination try to solve all the puzzles in this laboratory.

Controls :

Selection: objects available for interaction are highlighted when the mouse hovers over.
Drag&Drop: select an available object, hold down the LMB and move it freely (not all objects can be moved).
TimeLooping: you can make some objects get stuck in a time loop. Click the RMB on the object to save its initial loop position. Right click anywhere to save the second point in the time and the object becomes stuck in the loop. Click the RMB on the object again to return it to its normal state.

Completely close to the theme, and the level design is also very good, great job on the game!

I liked the low-poly graphics. Good job on that. I was stuck in a loop a lot of times, it fits the theme :)

Very pleasant game, and the style is clean.

Very clever and very fun, one of the top entries so far. Graphics look great and work nicely with the physics based gameplay. Would love to play more of this with some more difficult puzzles.

Clever take on the theme. Really enjoyable game. Graphics were superb. Congrats :raised_hands:

The idea is really cool! The only problem may be the core of each level are kind of similar! but still a nice job for a Jam!

Neat, but a little repetitive and easy.

A cool concept and a variety of levels to play, art was nice and it was easy to play, well done :thumbsup:

Nice artwork and sounds! Also liked the design of the game, really fun to play! Nice job!

Nice artstyle, good mechanics, loved the achievments section, it got me to play multiple times to find them all, polished, could use more visual effects and soundeffects. well done :thumbsup:

I didn't understood What I have done in the first level to complete it. But I understood the loop mechanic easily in the second one. Then It took me again time to handle it in the third. Finally after this I could manage it very well in the different levels. I love the diversity of the puzzles. (like the synchronisation to find in the bonfire level and the variation of goals with the bomb on the car). The art is efficient and the audio atmosphere fit well. You created a very nice concept. Now I think the important thing to do is a good tutorial and make a nice difficulty progression curve. Congratulation to all the team!

Very cool. I liked the low poly artstyle and the level design. The achievements was also a really cool feature. Nice Job.

bixarrio13 Oct 2020, 21:38

Very nice. I was disappointed when the levels looped. Good job

Trexxak15 Oct 2020, 00:16

Soo much fun :D

I feel like you could just make a few more levels, put a level editor in and sell it.
Maybe some goofy titlescreen music would enhance the experience even more?
(also liked the achievement names a lot :D)

Amazingly fun game!! Great concept, great design, fun puzzles, great humour.. love the mechanic.. Now it just needs a bunch more levels.. Very good job!! well done

Nitero18 Oct 2020, 17:55

I think some small indication on what can be clicked would be nice, to get into it quicker

Also I'm not sure if this is intended or not... but the solution to most puzzles for me was to just have a super short loop (sometimes at the right time, or to release it at the right time) so it was kind of easy tbh

kack3y18 Oct 2020, 18:39

Awesome concept :) That's for this kind of game that I like playing to LD games !

May need some audio and satisfying sound when you hit the pirate :p

Very good entry

i love the 3d art style, very cute. nice use of time to make the puzzles! nice job making all this in a game jam!

sg-goennung25 Oct 2020, 17:54

The game was really fun, has amazing graphics and meets the theme! Really great work.

pkenney25 Oct 2020, 21:24

Nice idea for the theme, creating a new experience and then letting my play with it in a variety of different ways to explore it, all tied up in a nice package with strong graphics. Great work!

Achievement names were a small touch but I enjoyed them, hat tip to Sweet Tooth, and I liked the little remark after the slow-moving pirate about "I am NOT doing that again."
