Collective loop
NOTE: The further the loop progresses, the harder it becomes to maintain. You’ll need a lot of points to keep going. To complete the game 100% and break out of the structure, you’ll need someone else to play while you're trying.
IDEA
With this game, I want to create a feeling of collective effort, even though you don't directly see other players, you can see the results of their work. It’s just an experiment, but if you feel that sense of shared work, that means a lot to me.
The loop is the core of the game world something you’ll notice as you looping between points to keep production going.

Cool game! I hit 1 mil points with someone else; shout out discocat
how do you place stuff
You should choose an item by pressing [1, 2, 3, 4…]. Then, if it is a conveyor or refinery, you can place it with a left mouse button click (LMB)
yay
what does the drill actually do? I just spawned a yellow box. I still can't "break hard rock" or whateve
Seems like you have no space in inventory, you can drop items by dragging them out of inventory space. For drill you need 2 vertical cells free
I think since you keep resources over loops you can build up by being able to early buy belts and automate resources
Yes, for now, it’s only resources that you take with you after the loop ends, but very soon there will be upgrades that can only be acquired by a new currency that can be obtained by ending a loop
great run destroyed by this inventory bug lol
(I was trying to toss an item by dragging it out of my inventory, but it suddenly turned green and now I can't drop any of my items by either dragging or using shift)
That’s sad! I will try to find why this happened and fix it. Also, have a plan to add a save system to not destroy progress after quitting the game, that also would help
I didn't expect this game to turn out so addictive. I spent 30 minutes here when I should have been working instead, haha. A really cool and polished game!
Shoutout to every worker in loop #514 :) had a great time with you <3
Wow !
omg dude I love the idea. I played with a friend for a few loops and it was so fun
game feels to unfinished to be enjoyable, zero sense of permanent progression, since even the stuff in your inventory is destroyed upon loop reset, and whenever the servers are relatively empty, it becomes basically unplayable. i honestly found the game super boring a repetitive, since by the time i could set up anything, the timer was almost out already. Not worth playing unless a lot of people are online.
Very cool concept collective group work to get better in a loop, nice and simple automation work love it.
Would like to node the 200 green drills didn't function for some reason probably a bug with edge
Sorry to hear that. I’m gonna add some fixes on the weekend that will probably help
Genius game and Your Best One! Feels like remote capitalism labor: you don’t see them, but they’re working. Love it.
Would be great to place emojis or "👍" on players flags to feel presence. Also, buying time stopped working in the last 10 seconds and I failed my longest loop...
Hi! Did you eventually get in game? What browser are you using?
yea, kinda common bug, but I don’t think it is cheating if you use it! It will go away when you try to mine that dirt
why am i back here for a third time.... ok boys we escape this loop for sure
Damm, if you manage to get mega drill go to the bottom of the black rod!
just awesome
Very interesting game, plays really well too
