ud-ld47-game-showcase1.pngWelcome to The Looper's Path!

ld47-itch-element-1.png
A short puzzle game where you control Looper a robot who have self-cloning powers!

ld47-itch-element-2.png
well... but don't worry too much: they are not evil ones....

ld47-itch-element-3.png
Looper needs to find his way out of every level...

ld47-itch-element-4.png

But wait!


His clones are not really capable of solving the puzzles by themselves, so they just repeat what he did before each round.

Are you ready to help him?

I like everything about this game (graphics, controls, fun), except for one thing - pacing. Maybe it's because I've been rating games on here for a while and am doing it a bit fast, but it takes way too long for the next instance of the player to spawn, especially when you need more than one. Maybe add a button to end it earlier?

Hey, I think we made the same game! My main two critisims are the pacing (definitely need more time before respawns) and the controls being pretty tricky (making the player always hold down two directional keys doesn't work well, although I'm sure this would be fine on a controller)

I liked everything about this game (graphics, controls, fun), except for one thing - the camera control when you need to jump / walk in the diagona. in this case, it would have been better to place the camera and 3rd person, so that the player could have more control over the direction to jump.

I expected more games like this given the theme.

The fact that we can't press a button to place a robot (skip the iteration) makes the game kind of slow. Oh and the controls, it would have been more intuitive to make the controls move according to the grid instead of the camera.

Anyway I really like your entry, awesome job !

Looks cool, but I'm unable run the game, would you be able to release a version for linux?

Looks great, really wanted to play, also on linux.

What did you use to make the game art, it's really clean!

Awesome entry!!

The graphics are absolutely well done! I loved that the music is nice to hear and also serves a purpose to let me know when I'm running out of time.

The design was very nice too, I have already seen the clone mechanic on Braid, but here you guys expanded and improved on it, nice job!

One of the best entries that I've played on this jam!

Awesome and polished, as always. But this camera angle and the subsequent constraint to hold almost always two keys for moving, plus the punishing "no borders -> you fall -> you have to retry", and the short amount of time between each ghost… Well, I can't continue over the third (or is it forth?) level, the one I can't even understand what to do because each test action is too punishing and thats means retry with boring constraints :sweat:
This is a good game however, just really not my kind of game, I guess.
Good job anyways!

Wow, I'm impressed by the fact that it's a game jam game!
This game is very polished in my opinion.
The puzzles of the levels are great. The graphic looks very good.
There was this main menu music that I liked, and I hoped to have more than that in the game itself, but it is just a very little thing in all of this game!
Overall this game is brilliant.

Good luck!

Really cool, and similar to my entry. It would have been 5/5 but precision platforming with a fixed position tracking camera is a cardinal sin of game design so you get a 4/5. Looks really good though and has legs for a larger game.
