Loop it Good
A 2D incremental game where you draw loops with your lasso tool to collect gems and harvest them for mana.
Made for GMTK Game Jam 2025 (theme: Loop)
How to Play
- Lasso Tool – Use your mouse to draw loops around gems to collect them and harvest mana.
- Buy Upgrades – Spawn more gems by spending mana in the upgrade shop, and improve their mana generation.

I love it
Quite satisfying game loop. The problems I see are:
a) With just length level 4, I was able to collect the entire square with one loop
b) The flashing of gems spawning & auto-collecting is quite painful on the eyes
c) Auto-collect removes the core gameplay mechanic (lasso). Maybe the upgrade should be really expensive, so you can only auto-collect gems 2-3 ranks below your newest one
d) It lacks any distinct game mechanic. Maybe add a multiplier for multiple gems connected in one loop, or some bombs to avoid(could get annoying)
Love it! :) The visuals of the loop feel really polished and i love those gems
damn we really need a pokemon ranger incremental huh.
Maxing out the Auto Collect completely trivializes the game, and the flashing of the gems being repeatedly collected is painful to look at. I recommend reducing the maximum auto collect chance to way less than 100%.
Came here to say that, I thought 30 auto-collect would give 30% chance but instead it removes the central game mechanic that makes this fun. It's an odd choice for sure.
I can play this game for hours, after the 6th lasso upgrade it was peak gameplay for me
Perhaps 100 million is a good place to put Prestige, getting things like a global increase in value, separate boards each with locked upgrades between them.
Keep it going 👍
