KNOT FOR LONG

CHECK OUT THE DEVLOG:

KNOT FOR LONG is Resurge Studios’ (Luke and Jonathan) submission to GMTK 2025, built around the theme: LOOP.

Move with WASD or the arrow keys, and press Space to toggle your rope on or off. Rope is limited - but close a loop, and any enemies trapped inside (or chewing at it) will be destroyed. You'll reclaim rope from the loop, plus earn bonus rope for every enemy caught.

Trapping more enemies grants score multipliers, and you only recover the rope where your path crosses itself again - precision matters!

Each enemy type behaves differently, forcing you to adapt:

• Bitelings (mouse-like) chew through your rope if left unchecked.

• Neuroshrooms predict your movement and fire where you're going, not where you are (watch out!!).

• Peashooters fire simple straight shots from a fixed position.

• Spinshooters, their chaotic cousins, spin and blast freezing bullets in all directions.

• Cracklesprout is a carrot brought to life, roaming the area and firing three bullets in a spread to keep you on your toes. Its unpredictable movement and rapid shots make it a tricky foe to trap in your loops.

Taking damage costs rope. Run out, and it’s game over.

The goal? Survive, score big, and manage your rope. Every loop is a gamble - when to extend, when to close it, what to trap - it’s all about risk vs reward. Enjoy and post your high scores in the comments!
