Looper Cooper by Imphenzia
- HOW TO PLAY
Controls: Use Up/Down Axis (W/S or Up/Down Arrow) to steer plane. Down is up, up is down, just like on a real plane.
You are Looper Cooper. You score points by flying close to the ground, and even more points to fly close to objects like buildings, trees, rocks, and hills. You have three lives to score as many points as you can!
You can also loop around presents, if they pop, you get another 1000 points! Be aware, don't collide with the presents - they are rock solid.
- ABOUT THE GAME
[Irony] This game was designed to compete with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It has day / night cycle (check out how the lights in the windows light up during the night). It also has a very accurate aircraft damage model. Careful thought also went into getting the aerodynamics of the aircraft accurate which is why you may experience a slightly laggy feeling as you control the plane - it's real torque that is applied. This is a simulator and not an arcade game so direct control had to be sacrificed.[/Irony]
The level is "procedurally" spawned and as you go around the loop a virtual "wrecking ball" is destroying objects on the opposite side of the loop and replaces it with new objects. This way the level will constantly change indefinitely as you play. My personal best score is 14500 =)

How did you manage to fly and look for the Ball yesterday at the same time?! Its very hard controls, but Its a lot of fun! And the models are amazing ofc! I like that you took the time for this nice menu screen in the beginning and the animation. Also good use of the default cube!
I actually don't know whats on the end of the circle but somehow I had in my memory it was a spiral? Good game! Good Quality! Amazing for 48h!
Seems kind of mean to have a pickup there with animations that reaaaally make you want it and then just kill the player. :)
Edit: Oh, I just read the description, of course it's clear now. Sorry, I can't read more text at once than fits a Twitter post!
Very cool game. After a while you get very used to the controls, Always counter steer instantly guys! Then you have more control over your plane than a fighter pilot.
When the game first loads, you have a nice, beautifully aesthetic, low-poly world waiting before you. What better to do than run head-long into it and explode? Of course, it's even better when you re-spawn, looking at the conflagration of your last death, only to do it again. :grin:
Suffice to say, this game brought me joy.
I found the controls a little to touchy for my own tastes, but then I'm a terrible at games like this, so I'm not a very good judge. The graphics were well polished and I'm curious to look into your code for generating circular levels.
It would have been interesting to introduce other flying things like dirigibles, but I guess, since you have floating presents, that works too.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice choice of effects and models as well.
You can cheat easily by doing endless barrel rolls near the obstacles, though.
Gameplay was more difficult than I could really handle, but reminds me of other well-made games with similar mechanics. All told, it's a really great entry!
Am I really supposed to go through this? 😁
Nice little game here. It is those kind of controls that you can't overcompensate for a course correction or you'r dead meat. Nice mood detail in changing skybox light with time.
Really cool low poly 3d artwork.
Controls feels great, not too hard, not too easy. I was a very small child at the time, but this loop handling style somehow reminds me of an ancient Intellivision game called Triple Action
As a minor flaw, sound effects would greatly improve with some normalization on volume levels.
Overall a top entry here. Good Job!
But it didn't matter that I stunk because it was still fun to fail!
As to the game, it's really fun! Very addictive gameplay, even though it's hard to control. It's very polished, especially for a compo game! I really like the graphics and the explosions are epic. Awesome job!!
