Loop Hell
LOOP HELL
A bullet hell where you make loops around the enemies to damage them.
I recommend you download the windows zip and play locally!
If you prefer to play in a browser the HTML5 version works ok. There are visual glitches, lag upon loading each level, and it performs poorly but otherwise it's playable.
Originally made in <48hr for the 2025 GMTK Game Jam. Postmortem version improved over the course of a month for the Feedback Quest 8 jam.
Controls
- WASD or Arrows or Mouse to move
- Space or Right Mouse Button to loop
- Shift for slow movement
- Escape to pause and change options
If a level is too hard, press CTRL+P to kill all the enemies, or change the difficulty :)
Postmortem Updates From Original 48hr Version
- Added background and other visual updates
- Added mouse controls
- Added pause menu and options
- Added custom vertex font and animations
- Adjusted tutorial (need to work on this more, it's not fantastic)
- Adjusted difficulty and enemy patterns, added more levels
- Remade boss 1, adjusted boss 2
- Made the loop check if all an enemy's vertices are enclosed
- Made the loop close on the player's radius so you don't have to be pixel-perfect
- Changed the way levels are stored + added in-game level editor
- Fixed bullets not getting destroyed outside the viewport (big oops, html5 was unplayable after a few levels)
Super Secret Controls: Press "1" at any time in any level to pull up the level editor. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how that works but everything is stored in plaintext.

This would play really well with a controller, having the player be invincible until you’re drawing makes the boss feel like a surgical lazer maze. I’m bad at it, but it is fun Edit: it works SO WELL with the mouse!!
