About Loop-Loop DX

✦ AI summary

Loop-Loop DX is a retro space shooter where you blast enemies and loop your bullets around the screen to hit yourself and progress through puzzle-like challenges. With multiple game modes including a story-driven Adventure Mode as Commander Carl and a brutal Bullet Hell Mode, plus the original Legacy modes from the non-DX version, this game delivers arcade action packed with boss fights, varied zones, and a killer soundtrack.

What is Loop-Loop DX?


Loop-Loop DX is a retro-style space shooter that makes extensive use of one simple idea: Going off one side of the screen and coming out the other. With the advanced tech of the spectacular "Loop Gun", your bullets may also loop around the screen! Use this devastating weapon to blast away all who oppose you!

Now... I know what you're thinking...

Can I Shoot Myself With This "Loop Gun"?


Yes! This is where the minor puzzle elements come into play. Once all enemies have been defeated on-screen, you must then utilize that big brain of yours to fire the bullets around the screen and right back into you! Successfully calculating the perfectly angled shot progresses you to the next screen!

So far, these are just the base elements of the game.
What about the...

GAMEMODES!?!


This game features many game modes in which to show off your looping prowess!


  • Adventure Mode - The main attraction!
    A tale of redemption and justice! You play as Commander Carl, space traveler and the esteemed Commander of... nothing. After being convicted of a minor space felony, Carl is locked up in an intergalactic super-prison known as "The Prisom". The only way to get out of here is to loop your way out. Prepare to take on the ruthless prison staff, as well as some of the most dangerous galactic criminals to take back your freedom!

  • Bullet Hell Mode - The masochist's delight!
    Your Loop Gun has been revoked! The enemies continue their never-ending assault. Time to prove your capabilities as a professional navigator. You must dodge through a constant barrage of bullets. How long will you last?


So What Makes This Game "DX"?


Years before "Loop-Loop DX"... there was only "Loop-Loop". The non-DX version contained only two game modes. These game modes are being brought back in the DX version so that you can see what the game was like from way back when!

  • Legacy Mode - The quest to discover what lies beyond!
    Play through the game normally and travel downwards starting from Layer 50.
    Discover what lies beyond Layer 0!

  • Legacy Bullet Mode - The old masochist's delight!
    Dip n' dodge around bullets through the old version of Bullet Hell Mode!
    In this version, the bullets loop around the screen forever and constantly build up.
    You do not loop around the screen. Stay in that box!


What Else Is There?


What's that? Do you want MORE? Ok, how about all this:

  • An INCREDIBLE Soundtrack by the excellent E-Lie!
  • Achievements! Everybody loves these!
  • 7 boss fights in adventure mode!
  • 7 wildly varying zones to travel through.
  • A bodily function as a powerup!
  • A Rat named "Cheese"!
  • Lasers!
  • Explosions!
  • A Floppy Disk!

✦ AI summary

Loop-Loop DX is a top-down shooter with a sci-fi comedy premise that receives mixed reactions from players. Some appreciate the bullet looping mechanic, visuals, humor, and story elements as enjoyable aspects, while others find the core shooting gameplay lazy and feel the narrative doesn't compensate for weak arcade mechanics in an oversaturated genre. Players appear divided on whether it's worth playing, with some finding it fun and challenging while critics dismiss it as a primitive entry in a crowded category.

Steam is drowning in thousands of lazy, low-effort top-down console reject shooters, and "Loop-Loop DX" is yet another one. I'm not kidding, there's over 6,000 of these on Steam (that's a lot of games, but these are trivial to make so amateur developers love to stamp them out for nobody to play), and almost all of them are garbage, amateur kitbashes. This is not one of the good ones. This is a laughably primitive top down shooter with a sci-fi comedy theme. Sure, some comedy narrative was created as you guide the protagonist, Carl, through a "space prisom", which just involves some really lame arcade shooting, and that's all there is to it. Great there's some narrative, unfortunately narrative is wasted effort when the game it's sitting on is such a weak spin on an obsolete game genre. In the modern era of high quality bleeding edge PC gaming, these kinds of flat, lazy, lackluster top-down shooters just don't cut it. This is a dead genre for a reason. Even though this is "free", it failed to attract any interest for gamers here on Steam Direct for obvious reasons. This game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm s…
