Threaded Loop by Guillem Serra

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

A short and minimalistic puzzle game where you've gotta move step by step thinking on future iterations.

BUGFIX There was a bug that made the mechanics confusing for many people: a clone does a "double-jump" to go to the first cell and then make the next movement. The thing is that movement happened when they were on any button cell at any time, and not only at their cloned cell at the very same movement of the first cloning.

I'll leave the first project submission so that it is clear that there's no other feature changed!

very cool looking and polished! i do think it could use some better level design as the mechanics feel as though they are thrown at you, ex on the second area i couldn't quite figure out why i was being sent to the start as i was focusing so much on getting the doors to open

Great game! art is excellent. Would like to see puzzle design that is harder to solve via trial and error. Overall great game!

Difficult to get my mind around! That's my fault though, not yours.

Really impressive work here. It could use more levels in the future, but what you have here is already impressive for 48 hours.

Nice looking graphics. Clean and simple. Missed audio. I didn't understand the clones movement in the last puzzle but just quick button mashing solved it :P

Really great art style. I wish there was more conveyance of the rules, it never felt like I truly understood what was happening at any given point.

Sweet game! I really liked the artstyle and feeling of the game. The mechanics were a bit tricky to understand, I found myself trying to brute force past some of the levels. I definitely think you could expand this into a bigger game!

I like how the world starts appearing everytime you solve a level, also the art is very good. However it took me a bit to understand what was happening. Despite that, good job!

Pretty cool game. I like the end ))

Having passed all the levels, I did not understand exactly how the mechanic works. Copies behave in an early manner and how to set this behavior is not entirely clear, maybe these are just bugs I don't know.

Great job anyway :star2::star2::star2::star2::star2:

The visuals here are top notch, great work. As for the game, it's definitely unique. I hesitate to pass judgment on it since it's really too brainy for me, I think. I couldn't really figure it out. It seems like just jimmying it around enough usually works.

I really enjoy your game. the graphics are as amazing as the puzzles. Another thing is great about this game is the introduction to the mechanic.

A very interesting concept with a good style. I found it was a little difficult to wrap my head around some of these puzzles-- but that's probably a good sign. Good job! :)

Super polished game feel! It's fun too. Took me a little while to realise what was happening when I kept getting sent back to the start but that's probably because I'm not that great at puzzle games. Really nice concept here!

This is a great little puzzle game. I think it could use clearer instructions on what exactly is going on, but once I understood exactly how the "clones" worked I was able to get through most of the game with ease. Nice work!

I loved the look and the concept. However, sometimes i couldn't say what was happening... At first i thought "ghost" would do what you did previously, but sometimes that didn't happen and i couldn't tell why. I really liked the game, but a short explanation or example would be nice!

Interesting mechanics! But puzzles were a bit hard for me :) I love that feature when the next level appeared in the same scene.

I love the peaceful artstyle, seems like a cool game, but I just don't seem to grasp the mechanics and kinda played it by trial and error. Might be just me, but some kind of a tutorial would be helpful.

Here are my feedback:

_Positive points
- Good simplistic visual style
- Clever usage of the theme, even if I had hard time with the game x)

_Negative points
- Lack of sounds

Overall: Nice work!

Fit's perfectly in the theme, sadly I found this game too difficult as I didn't fully understand how the core mechanics works. The 3d aspect is nice but sometime it get in the way, It would have been great to be able to move the camera !
