Loopiies are simple creatures, They move one-ward, then grow!
Loopiies are complicated creatures, they poop, get dirty.. and even die from dirty!
You gonna help them!
When loopiies pass the counter, they will get 1 growth value. Next gain will be when finishing a loop and backing to the counter. Loopiis will be grown once their growth value exceed 3. Normally, 3 loops are enough for them!... as long as they don't step on poop…
Loopiies will get dirty when they step on poop. They can only do that twice because the third time will be a death end for them. Good news is, they will be invincible for a while after they step on poop. Bad news is, when loopiies are dirty, the growth value they gain from the counter will be reduced, please be aware of that.
Luckily, they have you for help. You have Barrier, which can temporarily stuck the loop( the loop, not the poop, they will poop even when they don't move). Sweeper, which can swipe out all poops in a certain range. And Cleaner, for those dirty ones, to reduce 1 dirty level.
And you can pause game and view the general status of all loopiies.
Be wise on using the tools and get the goal amount of loopiies grown!
Also you can try the hard mode, which requires you should not let any loopii die.
Good luck ;)
Control
Barrier - Z or mouse click on button: Left click in certain area to put down barrier, click it again to remove.
Sweeper - X or mouse click on button: Left click and hold for a while to use.
Cleaner - C or mouse click on button: Left click to use.
Pause - Spacebar
*Update v0.1.1(Oct 6):*
- Loopiies now will only finish growing when they are clean, or else they will have to run an extra loop
- Fixed the problem that setting barrier outside certain areas can also trigger cooldown
While I loved the game, and I REALLY loved how much detail there is to everything that you do to interact with the loopi's, I think the grown loopies could have had a cute "hooray!" ish SFX when reaching the goal :p
Cute Game, I like the "Loopiies", so Cute! I found it very hard to juggle all three of the controls (I'm probably not that good at these multi-taking game). Not sure how useful the Barrier is (maybe I'm not using an optimized strategy)
A fantastic combination with a lovely art style and poopy mechainc! Though simple, but the game create a layer of strategic gameplay around poop management: how to make all sheep poop at one place for cleaning efficency yet if not cleaned soon enough, that poop site could kill a sheep instantly. The theme is interpreted as "running along a looped path".
Very nice and polished, but I think I'm very bad at this game :D
Some sort of tutorial level or an easier start would've helped be, couldn't seem to get a hang of how to play effectively until quite a lot of tries. Once it clicked the gameplay is very good though. Overall a great effot :)

I have a feeling that this could be grown to a tower defence game! lol
