Dead Loop by Tom_A
Welcome to Dead Loop
A game made for Ludam Dare 47
The Theme: Stuck in a Loop
The aim of the game is to collect SAMPLES and escape the Loop Project.
The catch is that you can only collect samples from the remains of ‘Test Subjects’.
Death is not the end. It’s just part of a LOOP.
You’ll start over and have another chance to find the SAMPLES you need.
Please use Arrow keys or WASD
This is my first attempt at a game jam.
Tools:
- Construct 3
- Spriter
- Artrage
- Photoshop
Thanks so much for playing!

Sorry about that :D
I like the character's monologue to themself.
Also the computer report is well done too.
Would be good if the person typed faster lol. Also maybe it should be easier to find samples.
Good entry.
Is there a way to skip the report, after few run, just want to retry quicker?
Nice work
The player was a bit too slow for my taste and having everyone charge the player at 1 alive kinda bugged me.
Perhaps it was bad luck but i had a game where the samples stopped spawning until i refreshed the page.
Here is my feedback:
**What do I like?**
- I liked the title screen.
- I liked the tutorial of the game.
- Nice SFX, and music.
- I really liked the computer end. (Unexpected!)
---
**What don't I like?**
- The music is too high.
---
**Suggestions:**
- Maybe have a required number of collecting the Samples.
- Maybe add a timer. If the player doesn't meet the required number of the collected samples (Suggestion 1), and the timer ends, the level restarts.
Excellent work on having tutorial information at the beginning of the game. Great art and sound and played smoothly.
How does the sample drop rate work? Is that random or are specific test subjects carrying them?
One thing that I personally found a bit distracting was how loud the sound effects were compared to the background music.
Here are my feedback:
_Positive points
- Good art style
- Nice usage of the theme
- The lab room is well crafted
- Cool little story about collecting sample
_Negative points
- Weird animation when we go forward/downward
- Missing indication of where the zombie wave is, so it can be frustating to die by surprise
Overall: Good work!
