About This Game LOOP is a tranquil puzzle game, with a unique, simple, meditative feel. Now includes a level generator with a possible 1 BILLION levels. Complete each level by swapping the hexagon pieces until all the lines link up, revealing the final pattern. Later levels introduce spinning pieces and colour changing pieces also! Inspired by Zen philosophy, the minimal UI has no timers, move limit or score; allowing you to just relax and focus. Includes 100 Levels and a colour blind mode. 6d5b4406ea Title: LOOP: A Tranquil Puzzle GameGenre: Casual, IndieDeveloper:John CullenPublisher:John CullenRelease Date: 22 May, 2015 LOOP: A Tranquil Puzzle Game Ativador Download [key Serial Number] I would have hoped for this puzzle game to be a bit more... puzzly. Most puzzle games that I enjoy require some kind of insight to proceed, or at least, are designed such that strategic thinking is superior to trial and error. You apply logic, derive a pattern and act on it.This game on the other hand does not reward thinking much. The best strategy seems to be: Find pieces that fit the border (usually this will yield a unique partial solution) and go from there (usually there is a unique way to do so). This took me through the hundred levels in roughly six hours with little cause to reconsider my strategy. It's not super boring (you can listen to music or podcasts in the background) but does not provide an interesting challenge either.I would have hoped for more clever puzzles. There are topological and graph theoretic insights that levels could be built upon, such as:\u2022 Any cut through the level crosses an even number of lines (of each colour).\u2022 The curvature of each loop must sum up to a multiple of 360\u00b0.\u2022 If there are crossings between red and blue lines, then this number of crossings must be even.\u2022 The number of times line segments connect to the left end of a hexagon equals the number of times that a connects to the right (for each colour. the same for the other two directions).I think it would have been possible to build new mechanics and levels around those mechanics that encourage and reward thinking about these things. Sadly, the existing levels are designed such that considerations of this kind are either useless or more tedious than just applying trial and error.There are puzzle games out there that convey interesting logical insights and reward the application of them, making the player feel smart when solving a challenge. This is not one of these games.. LOOP is the game for people who suffer from anxiety, an overly chaotic mind or stress.As someone who deals with too many voices in my head as well as just a bunch of noise, this game is brilliant and allowing the mind to just focus on fairly logical tasks. The aim of the game is to complete the loops by moving (and in some cases, rotating) tiles. It's something to take your time with and a game that is unlikely to cause any frustration.Definitely worth it if you're someone that needs help calming down.. Bought it during the Steam summer sale and it is a very gratifying game. I like puzzle games, but do not consider myself very good that them. This game is not that difficult and that's what I was looking for.. For more puzzle game reviews, news and everything puzzle-related, follow Puzzle Lovers and check out our Steam group.the title and the screenshots speak for themselves: you have to create loops of different colors by switching pieces around. later on you get fixed but rotatable pieces and later still more fixed ones that you can change the color of. there are 100 regular levels and a level generator for nearly endless fun if you so desire.I found the difficulty of the 100 levels just right, not too easy but not tear-out-my-hair difficult, you can figure them out eventually, though puzzle progress is not saved if you leave a level. you can do them in any order though, all of them are unlocked from the get-go.the music's ok too but I thought the sound effects were a bit annoying. adding ambient rain sounds to the background was a neat idea though and there are separate volume sliders for all three. the only technical shortcoming on windows is that saves are stored in the registry instead of a separate file.loop is a simple but cool idea very well executed, it's highly recommended for puzzle fans.. WOW - my little grey cells are burning.... this is a deceptively difficult game, contrary to what it may seem on the surface. It gets challenging very quickly so if you feel the need to hone your wits, this is a great place to do so. No timer, no pressure - just you versus the LOOP.... highly recommended to those who appreciate a good puzzle.. For the price, this game is definitely worth it. Even after the initial 100 "levels," there are tons more made possible from a generator. I can contnuously come back to this game when I feel like it and play newly generated puzzles each time. I also recommend the game due to its ease in coming back to play after a break (since it is casual).. Very solid puzzle game. I thought initially that 100 levels would be quick to burn through, but as of writing this review I haven't breached 30. You can see from the screenshots and trailers what kind of game this is, so if it looks like your kind of thing, you won't be disappointed.I will say that it's not terribly relaxing unless you turn SFX down to around 15-20% (from 100%)- but after I did that, no complaints at all, definitely worth the asking price.. For the price, this game is definitely worth it. Even after the initial 100 "levels," there are tons more made possible from a generator. I can contnuously come back to this game when I feel like it and play newly generated puzzles each time. I also recommend the game due to its ease in coming back to play after a break (since it is casual).. Just as the title suggests, LOOP is a very tranquil game. You can spend many hours solving the thousands of puzzles that await you. Listen to the lovely soundtrack and try to put the tiles in place to complete the beautiful patterns. In case of one of the generated levels being too hard, just skip it to avoid frustration.
