Quantum Loop

Quantum Loop is a non-linear space exploration adventure in a time loop. Learn what you can before you're overwhelmed by the asteroids, then use your new knowledge to solve problems in the next run!

If you hit an asteroid, it's game over. But your knowledge is power! Exploit what you learn between runs to stop the asteroids!

With an open world and no explicit quest log, you're pushed to think of novel solutions to the game's challenges!

Inspired by immersive sim games, every objective has multiple solutions, and every item has multiple purposes. As you learn more, you'll find many ways to complete your objectives.

Accessibility notes:

Screenshake and star motion lines can be disabled. The accent colour (red) can be changed to any hue, as well as white, The background colour can be inverted to white.

Volume controls are split into many channels including music, interface, and master volume.

Controls can be fully remapped on the keyboard and mostly remapped for controller. Keyboard and gamepad controls can be used simultaneously and interchangeably, and button prompts can be set to automatically change or to remain on one particular mode regardless of controls used. Gamepad button prompts can be configured for several types of button symbols. The game does not support mouse control, and currently does not support mouse button input (this may change in a future update).

Currently, the game does NOT support text sizes to be tweaked, nor fonts to be changed from the standard monospace font (as shown in screenshots). Better text customisation is hoped to be added in a future update. Some HUD elements show and hide as they become relevant, which can be disabled.

Gameplay is not hugely intensive moment-to-moment, but there is a time pressure element, and precise movement is required often. The game includes one-hit death and repeated retries as a core part of the game, and expects you to lose several times before winning. Past a brief initial tutorial, there is a high amount of freedom regarding what parts of the game you choose to engage with. An easy mode is provided, which roughly halves the game's time pressure
