"Words in the Loop" is a mind-bending word search puzzle that twists traditional gameplay into something entirely new. Find the closed loop path as you decode hidden words, and unravel the puzzle’s secrets—one word at a time. The path you choose will lead you back to where you started.  

Each loop is more than a path—it's a theme. The words you uncover all belong to the same category, from weather and emotions to music and space. As patterns emerge, the category becomes your compass. When the words start making sense together, you’ll know you’re in the loop.

Ok, that can be fun. 

One bug: I was playing food and picked the wrong C for rice, and now it's locked and won't let me finish the next word. It corrected the path I picked (green) with the blue line but not with the green square so now it's locked.

Thanks for your comment.  In that case, there is a retry button that allows you to restart the same puzzle.  This therefore adds to the strategy in that while you work on a current word, you should be also considering the next word potentially as well.  Retry will require you remember which direction to take when finishing a word with varying possibilities.

Yeah that makes sense. Just wasn't super clear if that was supposed to go that way or was a bug, hence my post :)

I'm please to announce that I've submitted to another Game Jam!  This time I spent one week building a game with the chosen theme: "Risk it for the Biscuit" with Brackey's Game Jam hosted at Itch.

“Crumb Quest” is a first-person puzzle-shooter where every move counts as you collect the ingredients to make different traditional British 'Biscuits'.

There are 5 fully playable levels as well as a short tutorial level.

Please play and submit a fair rating when you can.
