Loop Overflow by Rhythm

made by Rhythm for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

About Story

You are a robot in a combat program, fighting repeatedly until one day, after you fall down, a strange robot appears. He says that we are trapped in a loop. And he said he found the flaw in the program: too little memory! * So its plan is to fill in memory and make the game *stack overflow! But I need my help. How can I cooperate with him?

About Fight

When you move the mouse to the left or right or up, you will switch the stance (the attack will be blocked when hitting the opponent's weapon). Different stances attack in different ways.

PS:Part of the game is fighting, most part of the story.The part related to the theme is the plot

@alexey-erzyukov
I'm sorry, when I watched others play, I found that there are many unreasonable and missing things in the game. Thank you for your feedback!

I like the stance mechanich and the attack, but I don't understand the game in relation with the theme

pretty neat game, but I don't think it fits the theme that well. I saw that you said you were a beginner and that makes this game more impressive :)

Yeah, fun game, doing this by your own is quite nice ! Workd with the subject, even if it doesn't explore it's potential, you are alone, so..keep going ! :) good job !

Fun game, but I find it hard to control the stances with the mouse, maybe change them to keys to be more flexible

I really enjoyed that. A very creative idea executed pretty darn well in my opinion. Swap up the beans for some basic robot characters with some fancy animation and you would have a pretty game, next we add in some voice acting and we would have a worth selling indi game in my opinion, maybe with a couple of extra levels. Keep up the great work.

Cool idea, in theory this is a cool way to handle lightsaber combat. The way that you change stances was really awkward - since you use the mouse to aim, just trying to aim will change your stance when you don't want it to. I don't see why the stances couldn't just be on the keyboard, or at the very least you could make it so you hold the right mouse button then move the mouse in a direction to pick a stance.

I also think the combat got repetitive pretty quickly. It would have been more fun if the enemies got stronger and had better AI as you went along, rather than there just being bigger and bigger numbers of them.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to find The Stanley Parable: Jedi Knight III in Ludum Dare!

I'm really not sure what I just played, but I'm glad that you included the out-of-bounds as part of the game as I was intending to do that anyway :)

Good game for a beginner! Reminds me of a game called The Stanley Parable!

The game has a very good humor, expecially from a programmer point of view! It also fit well with the jam theme! Control are a bit weird and a music would be cool to have... Anyway, very good entry!

I liked the game and that "informatic" escape (which remind me some speedruns :laughing: ), really, you did a good job here (even if the figth system isn't perfect) (I finished it btw)

I really love the Stance mechanic with the mouse :-)
Its kind of crazy that you went into building a fighting game mechanic from zero for this jam !
Well done !
I just tough that maybe the game isn't fitting the theme that well tho.. Yes we are stuck in a "circular space" fighting and it never ends. But maybe some more elements would have been cool.
+1 for the menu !! there is so much games that don't have any menu ! and this makes a huge difference because you can go back to check out the controls at any time !
Cheers !!

PS: the title fits perfectly with the game tho :D

Solid idea and I actually had quite a bit of fun playing around, however the whole moving the mouse to change stance was a bit annoying at times when you were fighting lots of enemies. Overall great submission!
