Lucky Lefty Lo❤️es Loops! The luminous life that a leftward leaning snail leads likens to a long lost love that you never knew you left.
Play as Lucky Lefty as you uncover the meaning of the universe! 🤯
Navigate your way through the loops. Watch out for Rude Righties getting in your way for not fitting in. Try to get a personal best lap time and compare with friends! Can you beat my high score of 33.13? Don't forget to find out what's at the end of the loop!
*Controls* - WASD or arrow keys for movement - R to restart lap - Esc to go back to previous screen
Second link is a post jam version: - Can now use full screen on itch without breaking game - Audio settings now save when exiting - Snail draw order fixed so Righties are consistent - Fixed a high score rounding error - Always shows 2 decimal places in timer and score - Can now reset (R) or quit (Q) during zoom transition - Better messaging to player they can move on title screen - Volume sliderbar no longer goes to 11 - Added "options" button in game - Fixed rare bug where there was an existing highs core on 1st launch - Halloween skins - Race against ghost of your high score
I absolutely adore this game! First off, it looks very cute, while the controls are a bit wonky they actually add to the mechanics of the game, and then when you finish the zoom out into the other snail is great! Great job with this!
45 seconds :O I love the interpretation of the theme here, I audibly gasped during the zoom-out. The reveal is also a perfect mechanic to instantly retry the game. Great job!
I like the take on the theme with that end zoomout. Fun to play. Only thing is i felt my snail was drifting.sliding more than actually crawling . Maybe it is because the speed of the snail was faster than the speed of the animation? . I also might just be me
Haha! Great interpretation of the theme. I especially enjoyed the uhm... level transition?! The Button feedback could have been even more pronounced thought :P
Haha i liked that the snail was the race track. I liked that you could try out the controls in the main menu. The Rotation of the Snail felt very indirect. Audio could have been a bit better. However solid entry!
i liked this. i think the zooming out and you being stuck into a snail was a really nice gimmic. it made me smile. This is actually a race game. Also cute art. Nice entry ! Great job!
I actually really loved the controls. I was impressed by this game's sense of motion, and the zoom at the end, as mentioned before, is an amazing effect. And does the instrumentation change with each loop? Very cool!!
56 secs! i really liked this game- its funny and catchy. you awlays want to try again! took a while to get how to properly navigate but the whole game is great! also really liket the blop sound
A very simple idea but with a solid execution! The gameplay and the controls feel good. The environment art could maybe use some refinement, but I understand that it's harder as the environment needs to match the player character's shell. The zoom out at the end was a really cool surprise, great job!
I definitely played this several times and I enjoyed trying to beat my score. The twist at the end is great and seals in the theme perfectly.
Gameplaywise it makes for a great speedrunning game. A bit of difficult controls and also tight paths to navigate make for some very fun challenges. Very fun game, and satisfies my desire to live and race as a snail :)
I spent way more time than I'd like to admit optimizing the speedrun 0.1s at a time :D
I hit exactly 28.13 3 times before I managed to shave off another .13s. I feel if you use the strategies from my speedrun videos you should be able to make the sub 30 club. Just hit the turn key about 0.5 secs before you actually need to turn.
Great lefty snail race that is easy to learn but difficult to master. Got my high score of 30.40...not to brag. Great job folks I really like the lefty loops of liking the laser precision of a few of those pesky rightys.
It's very addictive game! My best score is 30.13 seconds, it's very difficult to do it in less than 30s! xD I love the snails animation and the plot twist at the end. Great job!
I feel like I got way more into this one than I anticipated. Having a record to beat seems to awaken something in me that I didn't know I had...
Also, the engineer in me was uber pleased when he saw that inception effect that starts a round over. That was super duper slick. :ok_hand:
I think the simple premise here actually lends itself well to a time-trial. It really makes the player search for any sort of exploits that they can take advantage off to shave off some time. Although I can't believe y'all are able to get less than 30-second runs. You peeps be nuts...
I really liked your game, thanks for also letting the arrows to control, because I am left-handed and it helps a lot, the game reminded me of the end of the movie MIB men in black, congratulations again for the idea fit very well with the theme, a great hug.
Very nice way to transition from one playthrough to another and make us all stuck in an endless snail shell loop :smile: The game is simple and short. But I liked the idea and a fresh take on the theme.
Fun and challenging game, and cute little snail art too. Got about 30s which I thought was a good time until I saw the other comments here! D: Good job
I really liked the way the lap ends, very nice touch. The physics was really nice and smooth too. Simple and satisfying. Only thing I noticed was when we zoomed into the next lap if I had a key held down still it went a bit janky.
Nice game, works well! A little frustrating on the edge when the righties block you ahah The use of the snail theme is fun, the graphics are ok, the audio is fun too with the little bop sound xD I liked it, not crazy fun but it's nice ^^
Ok definitely the best implementation of the theme I've seen, since you're stuck in a loop in more ways than one.
The replay mechanic/animation is super cool, kudos on the technical aspect of that.
Not suuuper fun to play since the mechanic is just destruction derby, but I definitely gave it 4 or 5 runs.
Great animation and sound effect, and also could have done with more juice (particles / screen shake / etc) and more satisfying race mechanics (different acceleration curve / higher max speed / drifting / different collision physics / etc).
Also I love that they're snails :D But I found myself swearing at the "enemy" snails :sweat_smile:
My best was around 35 seconds. The meta transition is a nice effect, the art style is a bit too simple, but enhancing the level design would kind of defeat the point of the level being the snail so that's fine (I hope that makes sense :P ). My favorite jam game in terms of theme implementation.
reminded me of flash games :D controls made it hard for me but they suit the game. I usually don't score much in these games. The transition at the end of spirals is a clever and well executed idea.
I was first confused with the controls but I was able to get the hang of it, pretty fast. The overall idea is really nice and the take on the theme is originall. Music is also very pleasing, it is not putting you under pressure, it just calmly motivates you to try it again and again. Good job!
Man I tried and did my best, but I only got 36.06 hahaha. I really liked your game, the main mechanics are just brilliant. It is something creative, and unique. The graphics are simple and functional, and the sound is quite pleasant. It is very addictive to try to find ways to improve your time. It is definitely a well-designed game based on a great interpretation of the theme. Congratulations on your creativity and work in general!
Welp, I got 38 seconds as my record. The ending twist was a really cool and rewarding visual effect. I also admit that the game was a bit too simple for me.
I was actually caught off-guard first, when I played the game: in the title screen, it only displayed WASD, so I assumed my controls were based on regular top-down movement. Instead, what I got was a physics-based tank controls, which took a little while to get used to. I also had difficulty getting used to the slippery controls, hindering my ability to optimize my movement.
The only other constructive criticism was that at first blush, the collision box of the snail looks like the whole snail would be relevant, rather than only its shell. While not a bad game design decisioin, it does have an unintended side effect of making the player think they need to make wider turns, because they think the snail's long body would collide into it. It also disoriented me on estimating when two snails would collide.
Maybe adding some gamefeel when is moving or hits with the environment, mix better the snails and the "spiral walls", that things could integrate better. But these are silly tiny things, it's a great game! Congrats!
Nicely done! Game play is rather short but fun enough while it lasts. I like how the snails control like space ships :D The art is basic but I kinda like the damp grey scale aesthetics. The controls were snappy and the collision detection and collision feedback was satisfying. The core game play loop was veeery basic though, not much to keep the player engaged. I didn't feel like going around the track a second time, after doing it once, because there wasn't much interesting stuff going on mechanically. The looping transition at the end was very well made, by the way. That really put a smile on my face :) You really hit a theme home run with this visual gag.
All in all, a rather basic snail-spaceship racing game with little variation in game play but well implemented technically. I wished there was a little more to it! Still, good job :)
Nice one. I got down to 33.5 sec. Couldin't get past that.
I think online leaderboard would keep people playing for longer (You are 25th, 24th, ....). I saw that implemented in one game this jam and it definitely worked for me :)
The pop sound when I collided with another snail was oddly satisfying! Pretty well polished although I would have loved some different rotation method then what is currently in there, the zoom out at the end was great!
Funny little game! I liked the idea, it fits the theme. The art is simple, the snails are so cute but maybe it's all too greyish. I loved the ending with that loop transition, it was really cool!
What a cute little game :3 Got about 31 with my last run :D
On a somewhat unrelated note, while not really a fan of twitch streams, I appreciate the great service you do for the community @elysiagriffin. Thank you!
Fun little idea! I liked how simple it was and I was trying to beat the time here. I thought there was another ending to it, but the inception gave us a nice laugh, I kind of saw it coming, but it was fun to see. :snail: :upside_down:
I enjoyed playing this a lot. The ghost to race against was a nice touch in the patched version and I loved the spooky pumpkin skins. Overall, an adorable game
sub 1min, but i guess that is not too hot. Snail guys are a classy bunch, interesting choice to grayscale the player character, but i think it works. Controls felt smooth and responsive, and the hit boxes felt true to the obstacles. Well done overall, good example of executing within the original concept and polishing that into something both fun and playable.
Really awesome! Wasn't expecting that twist at the end of the loop, that was a nice surprise and it is a super lovely idea! Plus gameplay feels polished, it's not hard too play while not so easy to avoid all obstacles. Graphics are cool and make the character lovable and the music supports the mood brilliantly. Brilliant game, well done!
This is awesome! Simple yet fun. Reminds me a bit of a browser game called "No Breaks," I think, but with more snails. I liked the music, and the graphics, and the theme interpretation was pretty epic too. I also appreciated the ghost of your past self. Very cool!
Loved the game actually! Relaxing, fun and stuck in a loop! :)
Nice music too!
