Loop Bloom

Welcome to Loop Bloom, my entry to the GMTK Game Jam 2025.

The day loops every 15 seconds, and your role as a small, little plant seed is to collect as much light, water and creature essence as possible before the day ends.

Each day you grow, and after 5 days, you bloom!

Can you find all the endings?

Developer's Notes:

This is my first ever entry to GMTK Game Jams, and my first project after a 4 year break. I am a hobbyist, and I, unfortunately, have no "strong suit" when it comes to programming, art or anything else. I am a hobbyist and beginner-intermediate in everything so......... 

For the first day, I bounced between a knot-tieing game, and a electrical loop making game. The first one was a little too physical for Unity's physics engine, I just couldn't make it work. 

The other one was just plagued with bugs, mostly due to my lack of skills but nevertheless, the plant approach was decided on the second day and although I made good progress, I quickly realised the idea was just....... bad. 

Too simple. Too clunky. Too boring. 

My motivation tanked after a while, but I pressed on and produced this "masterpiece". I don't plan on expanding, or bug-fixing it. I plan on getting it out and gone. I've learn't a lot, so it's not a total failure, I suppose. 

I will probably look for a team next time and try to make something I'm proud of.
