How does your game fit the theme?
It requires players to achieve "the perfect loop" by arranging blocks to make cool beats!

I liked to play around and make some different kind of loops that go through the yellow tiles! I only couldn't figure out what a perfect loop defines and how to make one, but that could be my own skill issue. Nice simplistic style!
Wow, loop rhythm puzzle, the thing you don't see every day!
A bit unintuitive and sometimes I can't remove blocks, maybe a bug
The concept is very very strong imo, i ,really, would play finished version!

Ahh your UI and minimalist design is so cool. This is fun as a little instrument but I would've loved a little bit more direction. My entry was also themed around music and figuring out how to keep everything in sync was a real struggle, so I really appreciate what you have here haha.
Loved the game !
I didn't really understand what separated a perfect loop from a badly timed one (like I didn't understand what I did wrong), but the game was really fun anyways !
I love the sounds throughout the whole game but actually figuring out the puzzles was a tad bit too hard. Could also be me not being a very musically type of person too, but oh well.
Great work!
Fun little game I made some really fun beats!
Cool game, really nice sound effects, i do love me some drums.
I didn’t unfortunately get past the first level. perhaps a tutorial level is needed. or i just cant read instructions.
Took me a while to work it out but the result was very pleasing!
I had some issues on the third level - the blue ones flew randomly off the screen when I tried to drop them on the board and then I couldn’t place any pieces at all and had to reload.
Good bones of a nice puzzle game, well done!
Just when I thought I figured out how it works, the second level really threw me for a... loop 😎
I can tell there's a great puzzle game in here, it just needs a little more work communicating to the player. Excellent job on the presentation though, the visuals were really hypnotic and you did a great job making the sequencer spit out some fantastic lil grooves, even when I was failing spectacularly.
I think you might need an easier level to begin with that teaches people how to play. Either that, or I'm bad at reading instructions
I love the idea of this game but I feel like its totally gone over my head. The comments mention its a puzzle game, but I'm so lost on what the solution is supposed to be. I tried a bunch of different things, but the next level button never worked :(
Cool concept, love the name, but I don't know how to progress or if I'm even playing it right.
Excellent graphic, nice SFX, simple and fun gameplay. Nice puzzle difficulty scale 10/10 would play-sometime-in-the-future-plz-give-update-tysm-ok-bye!
really cool game ! i sorta have an idea of whats happening,,, it feels like im mostly just fumbling through the levels though D: i really love the metroGnome (a tragedy it couldnt make it in ToT) and general look/sound of the game too. great job!
Really cool idea! I think I know what I'm supposed to do, such an interesting concept (and I love a good music-based game). I couldn't get past the first level, but I'll try again tomorrow!
Nice idea! I am a big fan of puzzle games and really enjoyed this!
Neat idea, shame I'm terrible at puzzle games! Was enjoyable!
What a very pleasing trinket! Love this type of games.
Interesting concept! But it really lacks a tutorial, it took me a while to figure out what to do(
I may be missing something, but I was unclear on what the objective was. I managed to loop with or without the starting block, but couldn't advance. I was hoping to see some more levels that might surprise me with the emergent puzzle solving that may be involved as it became more complex.
