Loopin' Looie by MatthewDavisGames
Poor Looie, he was bored one day on the space station and decided to plug in for some platformer fun. Unfortunately, there seems to be a glitch in the code and Looie is stuck in a loop, replaying Level 1 forever!
This is my first attempt at Ludum Dare, my first time creating my own art, my first WebGL build and my first platformer!
This is a very basic platformer, you play as Looie, an Astronaut (You know, because he's in a space suit) who just wanted to play a simple game, but is now stuck inside on Level 1!
Controls: - [Arrow Keys] to move left/right - [Space] to jump/select menu items
Also supports most game controllers. - [Start/Options] button to pause the game - [Dpad] to move left/right - [Jump] to jump

Special Thanks to Brackeyes, for the years of YouTube videos, which really helped me learn better coding.
Special Thanks to Imphenzia, for your 10-minute low-poly, er... 10-minute modelling challenge videos. E to Extrude and S to scale!
Special Thanks to Blackthornprod, for your coding, art and GameJam videos!
Also, I'm going to add a completely shameless plug to a VR Archery game I made on Steam, feel free to have a look at my profile page for the link to the Steam store page.

Anyway well done.
Loved the art and gameplay
Character movement is smooth and loved the rotating platforms <3
Great game overall
Found a bug - You can click the pause button even in main menu and it gets stuck besides the play panel
It must be that you parent the player to the platform when they land, but you didn't unparent them while they're in the air. As a result, I missed the jump, and then it tried to warp me back to the start, but glitched and I just got stuck warping into the void...
Oh and another small thing, if I double tapped jump, it would open the settings menu. I assume the navigation on the top right button is set to "Automatic", and just needs to be swapped to "None"
Other than that, I love the artwork (I'm a big fan of that low poly style) and the music was pleasant too (if a little repetitive after a while).
Nice job! :smile:
I really really liked the turning platform. Was quite mindboggling
Standing on the side of the platforms is a little buggy though.
Overall nice experience :)
The game is simple yet fun to play.
A few things I found weird: First, the double SPACE opens the menu, which gets in the way, also, menus seem to stack, for some reason. The way the player basically stuck to the platforms seemed a bit weird, but that may be considered as a feature :smiley:
Lastly, I would have liked a volume control for music and sound, because that was very loud for me.
Still, good work putting all of this together in such a short time, and most importantly, on your own! The game looked very well polished for a game jam game by one person!
The rotating platforms seemed to have a bug, causing them to break the 2d spell. If you walk up onto the bushes while the platform is rotated 90°, then wait until it's normal, walk to the end of the bush, and wait for another 90° rotation, you'll have been pushed far enough outside of the regular 2d gameplay plane that weird things start happening:
I did this twice. The first time by maistake, and I tried to ignore it and just jump to the next platform, but it was small and I was at the wrong depth, so I missed it. I also think I missed the death collider, because the level didn't restart. The second time I did hit the death collider, but the camera went crazy trying to reset.
