Making the main character's movements based on a loop in the beginning makes the game both very difficult and engaging.  Overall, very well done.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Frogman","author_uid":"1159957","time":"2020-10-05T13:15:33Z","epoch":1601903733,"modified":1601903733,"text":"Really good game! It was challenging yet fun - it took me a couple tries to finish each level, but it was really satisfying once I managed it. I only realized how to use the jet pack in around level 5, so maybe add it to the controls? Other than that, it was great!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"KOHCEPBA","author_uid":"1005422","time":"2020-10-05T13:28:24Z","epoch":1601904504,"modified":1601904504,"text":"Wow, this is a great game.

I had to retry some on one or two of the levels, but in general the difficulty felt balanced. It did feel a bit odd that I basically had to waste the first run just to explore on each level before I got to actually try and solve it. I think that could have been helped, either with a minimap or a sweap over the level before it started. Nice entry!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JudgeZedd","author_uid":"1025361","time":"2020-10-07T10:14:31Z","epoch":1602065671,"modified":1602065671,"text":"Clever and adorable.

I like email intro, very fun and suspiciously accurate :) I like indicator below, looks like some logic analyzer logs, with all those signals on the timeline, nice!\n\nI feel like you were trying to make a puzzle game. My thoughts on this is that you have to show a whole level to a player, so I could plot my actions beforehead to \"solve\" the level. First two or three levels felt alright, than it felt more like a platformer with a trial-and error mechanics. Well, there's not much you can do about level design in 48 hours, I get it :) As for game mechanics and looks of it - everything implemented great, I enjoyed playing it!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"LeReveur","author_uid":"1000059","time":"2020-10-08T21:13:22Z","epoch":1602191602,"modified":1602191602,"text":"I fall in almost every trap, ha ha!

Perhaps the movement is a bit low. The mechanic is working but I would say that it's a bit unfair not to have an overview of the level. I think the camera don't need to be so close to the character. At the beginning it's like a blinded programmation. Nice entry anyway.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld47\/225245-fe8b1b626228986f5a737743fda71954.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/blubberquark.itch.io\/loopy","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/blubberquark.itch.io\/loopy","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"57204","g_author":"1008003","g_event":"LD47","g_eventkey":"76","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"266238","g_title":"Loopy The Robot","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"200","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"225245","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"225245","n_urlkey":"266238","n_parent":"212256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/loopy-the-robot","n_slug":"loopy-the-robot","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"8003","n_created":"1601835893","n_modified":"1602049993","n_version":"697729","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":225245,"parent":212256,"superparent":9,"author":8003,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2020-10-04T21:58:56Z","created":"2020-10-04T18:24:53Z","modified":"2020-10-07T05:53:13Z","version":697729,"slug":"loopy-the-robot","name":"Loopy The Robot","body":"You work for a big company.\nThis company is trying to land \n a lucrative government contract\n for building a robot.\n\nThey promised it will have a jet pack.\n\nYour boss scheduled a demo of its features \n for tomorrow.\nUnfortunately, the software is not ready\n\n![loopy_updown.gif](\/\/\/raw\/34f\/1\/z\/38f15.gif)\n![loopy.gif](\/\/\/raw\/34f\/1\/z\/38eac.gif)\n\nMade with Python and PyGame 2.0","meta":{"author":[8003],"cover":"\/\/\/content\/34f\/1\/z\/35ccc.png","link-01":"https:\/\/blubberquark.itch.io\/loopy","link-01-tag":[42337],"link-02":"https:\/\/blubberquark.itch.io\/loopy","link-02-tag":[42341],"grade-06-out":"1","link-02-name":"Python Source Code","link-03-tag":[42337]},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/loopy-the-robot","parents":[1,5,9,212256],"love":0,"notes":14,"notes-timestamp":"2020-10-24T16:33:13Z","grade":{"grade-01":25,"grade-02":25,"grade-03":25,"grade-04":24,"grade-05":24,"grade-06":1,"grade-07":22,"grade-08":22},"magic":{"cool":159.09902576697,"feedback":18,"given":50.625,"grade":24,"grade-01-average":3.609,"grade-01-result":200,"grade-02-average":3.587,"grade-02-result":177,"grade-03-average":3.826,"grade-03-result":97,"grade-04-average":3.932,"grade-04-result":159,"grade-05-average":3.273,"grade-05-result":361,"grade-07-average":3.125,"grade-07-result":152,"grade-08-average":2.9,"grade-08-result":432,"smart":0}},"text":"You work for a big company.\nThis company is trying to land \n a lucrative government contract\n for building a robot.\n\nThey promised it will have a jet pack.\n\nYour boss scheduled a demo of its features \n for tomorrow.\nUnfortunately, the software is not ready\n\n![loopy_updown.gif](\/\/\/raw\/34f\/1\/z\/38f15.gif)\n![loopy.gif](\/\/\/raw\/34f\/1\/z\/38eac.gif)\n\nMade with Python and PyGame 2.0","title":"Loopy The Robot"}
