Ah, the smell of fresh game cartridges! Ready to dive into another challenging NES title, GamerFan?

Absolutely! This one’s a bit different from our usual fare. Loopz, a puzzle game! It’s intriguing with its premise of making loops. Have you tried it before?

Not really my usual genre, but hey, an occasional deviation can be enjoyable. Let’s fire it up and see what this loop-making is all about.

 

Look at that! The pieces are random, and we can rotate them. It’s already more strategic than I expected. Trying to visualize multiple loops while accommodating random pieces is tricky but fun.

The absence of clues for incoming pieces adds an element of surprise. It’s like trying to solve a constantly shifting puzzle. Okay, connecting these S bends and the simple lines is quite a cerebral workout.

Indeed. And a satisfying one at that. Let’s see what Game B has to offer. It’s about scoring high points with creative loops, right?

Yep, and the bonus multiplier for complex loops adds an extra challenge. Here, let me use this corner piece…

 

So, this mode urges us to be more tactical with the placements. I like the point-based incentive; it’s motivating me to think several steps ahead, almost like playing chess.

True. And while I generally steer clear of puzzle games, Loopz feels different. The complexity grows with each level, but it doesn’t feel punishingly difficult. It’s rewarding when a large loop lands you a heap of points.

Agreed. Alright, let’s tackle the third mode where we replace missing pieces in pre-made loops. It’s like a memory and logic test combined.

 

It’s a bit more my alley—relying on memory and logic over sheer puzzle twisting. With some of these nearly fitting pieces, it’s like a classic RPG dungeon, where precision is key.

Yes, and this mode offers a fresh twist—it almost feels like debugging a program. Refreshingly unique! Oh, and we’re near the final challenge… Spoilers ahead!

Looks like it’s a race against time to reassemble a highly complex loop. A thrill ride for a puzzle! This final challenge blends everything, the random pieces, the need for memory, and quick thinking.

I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed this, considering it’s a far cry from the deep lore and epic quests I usually love. But the simplicity and complexity balance in Loopz brings its own kind of captivation.

Same here. It’s definitely worth checking out, even for a dedicated action or RPG fan like myself. However, I must say, Eternal Games did a commendable job on Loopz, making a rare gem that even non-puzzlers can enjoy.

And speaking of Eternal Games, did you know they started out making arcade machine circuits? That technical expertise really shows in the seamless gameplay of Loopz! Fun fact—they’ve got another project in the pipeline that blends action with puzzles. Looks promising!

Definitely something to keep an eye on. Alright, let’s share some strategy tips. For high scores, keep multiple potential loops in mind rather than fixating on one. This prevents getting stuck with unusable pieces.

And in the memory mode, visualize the original loop as a whole. It helps place pieces back quickly. Also, in Game B, focus on bigger, varied loops for score multipliers. Keeps the gameplay dynamic and your points soaring!

Solid advice. Worthwhile diversion for any NES fan. Loopz may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s a well-crafted and engaging romp that’s definitely worth a try, especially for puzzle enthusiasts.

Agreed. It’s been fun, but I think next, we should dive back into one of those epic RPGs. Until the next loop, then!

Haha, absolutely. Until then!
