Strange Loop by axeltherabbit

[raw]
made by axeltherabbit for Ludum Dare 47 (COMPO)

I made this game inspired by the book "I am a strange loop" by Douglas Hofstadter, there is not an end or anything, it's just a strange loop :D.

The game was made in less than 24 hours, the code is not good and there are bugs, the game engine didn't allow me to do what I wanted and I used weird tricks but it's been fun.

I know the music sucks, I just put random notes that were kinda decent.

PS the HTML5 version has a problem with a shader and I disabled it, also the physic is weird, use the binary if you can, thank you!

PPS I fixed the HTML5 export that had physics problems but it could still lag

BTW I like quines

Strange loop indeed. Fun and trippy. The game started lagging for me on the last level tough.

@nohac sorry about the lag, it's probably due to the web version export, download the binary if you can

Wow, so trippy! This was really unexpected and interesting! I liked it especially when the little player character in the window seemed to sync up with the original player character, so it seems like you're controlling them both at once. (And you are...)

It's mirrors all the way down.

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

That was... the weirdest thing I've ever played. I commend you for realizing this vision, even if it is flawed. I gotta say, I can't get enough of this weird stuff.
