Sandloop

A pretty fun 3D platformer with a unique timeloop mechanic. Theres no combat, so you can really play this at your own pace. I see people enjoying it for speedrunning, but I ended up treating it like a comfy relaxing platformer with fun challenges. The game isn't perfect and could use some improvements. Once you buy everything in the shop, the currency stops being that relevant. Some quests require you to return to the NPC that gave you the quest, but I often kept forgetting where they were and had to waste a timeloop cycle to find them again. Maybe a quest tracker would help in the UI that points you in the direction of where they were would be a nice addition. And maybe add items for purchase that helps you find the gems to upgrade stamina/health would help make the game more enjoyable. Still, I really enjoyed what I played. You can tell the dev team cared a lot about this project and had fun making it. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun platformer that you can beat in a few hours.

fun movement fun map can get an ending in less than 2 hours so it's a bit short true ending seems a bit tough because some quests are cryptic

Very fun little game. Good movement, good level design. Great art and vibes. Terrible translation to English, though nothing that makes objectives too hard to understand. Hit an ending in about 3 hours. Unsure if there's more if you're completionist, and probably will never find out since the sidequest are pretty dang hard. Still, very much worth it for those 3 hours!

cool platformer with a nice semi open world. smooth controls, fun atmosphere, appealing graphics. horribly slept on... 8 out of 10

Fun 3D platformer with a tight, interconnected world. The map was fun to explore and had enough interconnectivity and clear visibility so that you don't get too lost. The time loop is interesting. It can add some stakes to different quests and things, but I'm not sure if it added much compared to other time loop games like Outer Wilds. But frequent shortcuts and metroidvania-style powerups make it so you aren't stuck redoing progress too much, so I wouldn't stay away from this game just because of the time loop aspect. Overall, the controls are tight, the platforming is fun, and I'd recommend this game to fans of 3D platformers.

El juego esta bueno, pero me ha resultado raro su final, esperaba que acceder al templo me activada un poder para detener el bucle y salvar la ciudad, pero no, solo acaba. Hay algunas desiciones raras, como que nos presentan como que la ciudad es atacada, pero no hay enemigos en el mapa, es solo parkour. Se siente un poco raro la falta de amenazas Tambien se agradeceria un mapa o algo, la misione de los tapices y las ropas se me hicieron un tedio porque llegue a un punto en que ya no sabia si me falta algo que explorar o si el camino con el que te los cruzas es uno de antes de tener todos los poderes y ahora hay muchos sitios que me estoy saltando... un poco cansado Pero en general bastante bueno

TL;DR: A beautiful platformer that would benefit from some quality of life and performance improvements. Honestly, not bad. The platforming is pretty good, the time loop mechanic is good but gets repetitive, the music is neat, and the abilities are extremely useful for navigation. There's no combat, just pure platforming, which I enjoyed. However, I've noticed severe performance issues within the game, mainly when loading the world at the beginning of each loop. Alongside that, the world is amazingly crafted but a world map or compass would be beneficial for navigation/returning to quest markers. Other than those, 100% recommend Sandloop.

Neutral leaning towards positive since it was a short and sweet 3d platforming metroidvania. The lack of a map, the rough translation, and the threadbare normal ending leaves much to be desired.
