How does your game fit the theme?
This game fits the theme because: you kill enemies by using your loop to pull them into your sawblade and the player and enemies loop around the screen.

Wow! Super cool and impressive that you made it in scratch 3! Didn't know you could pack it up and deliver on itch.io!

Very fluid and interesting gameplay! The loop attack was especially nice to throw!

Indeed, the game performance did start to slow down at the end, but definitely got to enjoy it while it worked!

Visual and SFX were on point! Well done!

Can't wait to see what you all come up with next!

thx, we used the turbowarp packager, and I think the lag was a bug to do with it being on scratch

I had some small performance problems and a little trouble understanding certain controls but overall I had a lot of fun, thank you :)


P.S.: If you would like to check out the game I worked on, I would be grateful 🙏 (In your free time of course)🙏

I was enjoying the game too much, but I got many problems of performance, the game stuttered a lot, so... Congrats for the idea, the juice and the mechanics, you made a really enjoyable game, but the performance issues turn it unplayable after a while

yo music goes off with the gameplay lovely entry!

I'd like to have the controls and meaning explained in a more detail, but otherwise great game.

very addictive once u figure out what to do, really like the music on it just enhances the experience of gaming

Developer(+1)

thx! Also, did you believe it was made using scratch 3, because it actually was, I will give you the link to the project when the rating period ends

Quite a fresh concept of pulling enemies towards yourself instead of shooting them! However, I do feel that it doesn't really make a noticeable difference in how you approach fighting. It's like shooting something, and it dies in a few moments. It'd be cool if you could hook onto enemies and then yeet them onto others, creating a chain effect and earning multipliers and such. :D 

Still, a polished game that works and is fun to play! My main critique is that it can quickly become disorienting, especially due to the fact that the screen shake is brutal and that you can loop over to the opposite side.

Good job! :)

Developer

thx for the feedback, if we ever end up updating the game, we will add the yeeting mechanic

Got super laggy sometimes because of the load truck of particles ! But i loved throw my loop at circles baddies and kill them with my sawblade body hihi, the empowerment feeling is really good and your game is juicy !!!

Submitted

Got super laggy at one point. You should credit whoever made the music by the way.

MaxMasterCoder made it, and he was part of our team

Great concept! I'm loving it :) But when you do a triple, even though my computer can handle pretty much any sort of lag, it couldn't handle it, and it became unplayable lol? Maybe my sheer skill of getting a triple made my computer crash in fear XDXDXDXD

Developer

lol, I think that is just a bug because of the clone count, and the clones creating clones bug, because a lot of clones are being made per enemy, and I didn't really check the code for that part of the game

Developer

Hey, guys. If the games doesn't work for you, or you experience lag or bugs, please do not rate as you have not had the full experience of our game. Thanks, and have a good day :D

Submitted

I'm sorry to say this, as I rated you pretty high, but being rateded even if you experience bugs is part of the judging, I'm afraid. You can't just tell people to not rate it if it's buggy for them, as that would justify making a really buggy and unfinished game and saying you can't judge it if it's buggy, which your game is not, it's super well-polished.

Developer

whoops

Submitted

Neat game! I like the colors and UI. Good Job, check out my game if you can :D

Developer

Thx, do you have anything I could improve for later games that I decide to make like this, if so, then please tell me, and I will check out your game

Submitted

It just lagged out when i played it, but cool!

Developer(+1)

Thx! It may have lagged because of the clone count (I made it infinite clones with turbowarp to avoid clone limit stuff) but because the game was made in scratch, it may have some performance issues.

Submitted

Fun game! I like how the "attack" mechanic is a double edged sword :)
