Bloop Loop

Introduction

Bloop Loop is a 3D arcade racer from developer markovclips in which the driver is Bloop, a cheerful robot fish with a jet engine, and the track is a busy roundabout. The twist is that the course keeps a copy of the player: once a lap is finished, a ghost of Bloop appears and repeats the line taken during that lap. Early on the road is nearly empty; keep going and it fills up with earlier versions of the same fish. Those copies can be handled in different ways. Landing on one shatters it for points and screws. A pulse clears every echo close by, but only one pulse charge is available per lap. Leaving the echoes alone is the riskier option, because every two still on the road lift the score multiplier. Lap speed keeps rising, and the game mixes in themes, special rounds, power-ups and four weapons, while screws pay for upgrades and new looks. Beating the whole thing is set at 9999 laps. Desktop controls map lane changes to Left/Right or A/D, jumping to Space, Up or W, and pulsing to Down, S or E. On mobile, taps on either side switch lanes, an upward swipe jumps, and a downward swipe or the Pulse button fires the pulse. It plays on desktop and mobile in portrait or landscape, and progress is stored in the browser.
