Loopies: Robots that Loop by DatYak

[raw]
made by DatYak for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

​A small game where you must use pressure plates and rotators to guide your Loopies across the map to collect goals, and then all the way back to their spawn to do it again.

  • Normal Loopies (orange) do normal Loopy Things!
  • Lazy Loopies (green) only walk when there is another Loopy nearby!
  • Dashing Loopies (blue) get faster the longer they head in a straight line!

CONTROLLS

  • B is the build tool: it opens up the side menu, select either a rotator or pressure plate to build
  • E is the edit tool: it lets you edit the direction of rotators and the spawn
  • C is the cabling tool: lets you connect a pressure plate to a rotator, to power the rotator for a while after the plate is triggered
  • X is the destroy tool: destroys buildings (except spawn)
  • Z undoes and Y redoes the last action

Interesting game! But I was a little confused on how to actually play the game and I only happened to notice the text at the bottom of the game by accident. Some UI buttons don't really seem to work but other then that it was a fun little game!

I could not figure out the controls... Could anyone fill me in? This seems like the kind of game I'd really like

Really hard to figure out how the controls work. The rotators didn't turn and the robots did not go into the direction of the arrows. Did I miss something? The ticking sound made me crazy. The idea is nice but it did not work for me.
