A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Made for the GMTK game jam 2025, sadly I only had availability to use the first ~48hrs of the 96hrs given, and used maybe 10 of them on actual work if being generous (I would pay $10000 for an injectable form of discipline, so if you know someone offering such a service please DM me).

# Loopxury

The game's name is a portmanteau of "Loop" and "Luxury", inspired by the portmanteau of "Ballionaire".

## Actual gameplay

You click the coin as much as you want to loop (clockwise) as fast as you can, compete with friends to get the highest score within a time limit of your choosing.

## Originally planned gameplay

Beat the escalating "blind" (number of loops). Measured in 360 degree continuous loops, random movement is less rewarded. Balance speed, control, and MONEY.

## (Main) inspirations for originally planned gameplay

- Balatro

- Ballionaire

- Luck be a Landlord

# Loopxury dev notes

## Feature list (I did literally none of them :grimace:)

### Must try

- [ ] Power gauge (pinball launcher)

- [ ] Any items, choose 1 of 3 at end of level

- [ ] Place items on board (Ballionaire)

- [ ] Generate save code with predictable algorithm

- [ ] Custom difficulty scaling algorithm

- [ ] E.g. 3 launches per "level"

- [ ] End launch when "still" at bottom

- [ ] Prompt end launch key much sooner than that though

### Should try

- [ ] Randomise world rotation on a per level basis -> so you can't just make a repeated simple path

- [ ] Items cause a global cool down of your ability to activate another item, collectibles maybe exempt

- [ ] Items alternate between active and inactive on a "beat"? on a multiple of loops? One or the other on a per item basis?

- [ ] Scale friction/gravity/drag/negative items instead of just loops

- [ ] Bosses

- [ ] Some items also move around freely or with some rules (e.g. on an elastic cord)

### Nice to try

- [ ] Free play / level editor

- [ ] Ghost of previous run showing while placing

- [ ] Personify player coin

- [ ] Logo, Loop stolen from Game jam logo (yes, I am Satan) + "xury" made out of gold bar looking material, maybe throw in some dollar bills flying about when "xury" smashes down during title animation

- [ ] Shop

## Troubleshooting history

- For some reason Build Mode: Segment works significantly better for the loop static body than solids
