As someone who's favourite food is cereal, I have to say I LOVED this game, it's my favourite game of the jam so far.

The graphics were great, the music was funny, the idea was fantastic! Being stuck in a fruit loop XD

Not much else I can say, I absolutely loved it.

What a cute idea. Once the bowl got more empty, it was tough to get the loops to go out. Not sure if it was in the logic, but I feel like the spoon should have been going for the loops more than just empty milk space haha. Again, cute game and concept.

Wow! great minds think alike! we also made a Froot Loops game (although ours is a fighting game)
give it a try... https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/stuck-in-a-froot-loop-1

Really great idea with the theme! Was pretty clever, very polished, loved the credits on the back of the box. Noticed the spoon go through the bowl once or twice. May biggest critique is that it was quite difficult to get the spoon to pick up the loops near the end, not in a challenging way just an annoying one. Nailed the them for sure, very clean.

Very nice game! It took me a moment to notice how it's fitting the theme and I admit it. It's brilliant. But I agree that late game is frustrating. Foolish human don't want to eat his fruit loops xP

Literally stuck inside a loop. I love the idea. It's so ridiculous that it's good. Graphics are really clean. Felt a bit tedious towards the end but nonetheless a really funny idea.

Very neat idea. I like that you can eat your own loop to speed things up at the risk of you putting yourself at risk or dying, which is what happened to me.

I like the push your luck mechanic you've implemented in eating your own life-raft, haha. Very catchy tune, fun gameplay!

WHOOOOA, this one is sooo goood! Really nice idea and even better execution! :smile:
At first I was like "Well, this is easy" but then those freaking loops would float away!

Really nice game. Simple, clear instructions; pretty, colourful graphics; love the use of the cereal box's reverse to show the credits :hearts: Great work!

Absolutely enjoyed the game!
Though I think it is a bit easy, the concept and execution are great.
Keep it up!

Great idea! The thing is that I cant move when I'm not in the cerel loop. I thought it is a game designe, but in other case i could swim not being in a ceraal, so i'm not entirely sure how this mechanism should work.

Graphic and audio are well designed for the game! Congrats!

Nice game.

Sometimes when swimming without the cereal I could move (slowly), sometimes I couldn't move at all. Not sure why, it wasn't consistient.

Game looks great, very nice models and sound effects too.

Cheers!

Thanks for all the positive feedback :)

About the inability to move while not inside a loop, the movement speed is halved from the non boosted one, additionally pushing against loops slows you down because of inertia. However there might still be a bug with the rigid body controller that prevents movement for no apparent reason but its origin has evaded our grasp so far.

Was a fun little game and really liked the models. Clever usage of the cereal box as the menu/credits as well. Awesome job.
