A mad scientist named Dr Foo has built an unstable time machine, the Omniscience 2000, and is using it to hop between seven great Eras of history, spawning duplicates of himself and tearing open rifts in spacetime.
Those rifts are slowly shredding reality itself. If too many pile up on one Era, it turns into a Vortex, and if the universe accumulates too many Vortexes, everything is destroyed and the players lose together. Yes, the LOOP is a coop game! Standing in Dr Foo’s way is a ragtag squad of Time Agents, you and the other players, armed with a personal deck of quirky "Artifact”.
Each Agent's turn feels like a little adventure of its own. You hop from Era to Era, spending your Energy to move, then dip into you hand of cards to patch up rifts, take down Foo’s duplicates, or scrounge up more energy for later. With every turn that ticks by, Dr Foo grows bolder, spinning off more duplicates and hurling rifts into the timeline, forcing you and your team to stay one step ahead or watch the universe collapse.
Like in most coop games, there is one way to win and multiple ways to lose. Success means the team puts away four sabotaged pieces and therefore save spacetime, closing with a triumphant "K.U.D.O.S!" from headquarters and, well, some XP, but that’s a BGA exclusive... Failure means the Agency's wall of shame gains new names, and the universe quietly ceases to exist. NO PRESSURE… but… EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOU!
You’ll have a Designated Instructor accompanying you through the tutorial if you want to get acquainted with how to defeat Dr Foo and his terrible time machine. Otherwise, the first time portal is waiting for you.

Our gratitude goes to Maxime Rambourg and Théo Rivière, the game designers, and everyone at Catch Up Games for allowing agents to save the universe on BGA. And thanks to Oberstille for building a machine (the good kind, not Dr Foo's) that runs so smoothly on the platform.
This was your Monday release.
We recommend you listen to the Foo Fighters while playing, as it couldn’t be more on brand. Whatever music you choose, take care and play fair…
LOOP: Sve ovisi o vama!
Ludi znanstvenik po imenu Dr. Foo izgradio je nestabilni vremeplov, Sveznanje 2000, i koristi ga za prelazak između sedam velikih era povijesti, stvarajući duplikate sebe i otvarajući pukotine u prostor-vremenu.
Ti rascjepi polako kidaju samu stvarnost. Ako se previše njih nagomila u jednoj Eri, ona se pretvara u Vortex, a ako se u svemiru nakupi previše Vortexa, sve je uništeno i igrači zajedno gube. Da, LOOP je kooperativna igra! Dr. Foou na putu stoji raznorodna ekipa Vremenskih Agentova, vi i ostali igrači, naoružani osobnim špilom neobičnog "Artefakta".
Svaki potez Agenta osjeća se kao mala avantura za sebe. Skačete iz Ere u Eru, trošeći svoju Energiju za kretanje, a zatim posežete u svoju ruku karata kako biste pokrpali pukotine, uklonili Fooove duplikate ili skupili još energije za kasnije. Sa svakim potezom koji prođe, Dr. Foo postaje sve smjeliji, stvarajući više duplikata i bacajući pukotine u vremensku liniju, prisiljavajući vas i vaš tim da budete korak ispred ili gledate kako se svemir urušava.
Kao i u većini kooperativnih igara, postoji jedan način za pobjedu i više načina za poraz. Uspjeh znači da tim uklanja četiri sabotirana dijela i time štedi prostor-vrijeme, završavajući s trijumfalnim "SVAKA ČAST!" iz sjedišta i, pa, nešto XP-a, ali to je BGA ekskluziva... Neuspjeh znači da zid srama Agencije dobiva nova imena, a svemir tiho prestaje postojati. BEZ PRITISKA… ali… SVE OVISI O TEBI!
Kroz tutorial pratit će vas imenovani instruktor ako želite saznati kako pobijediti Dr. Fooa i njegov strašni vremeplov. U suprotnom, čeka vas portal za prvi put.

Zahvaljujemo Maximeu Rambourgu i Théu Rivièreu, dizajnerima igara, te svima u Catch Up Games što su omogućili agentima da spase svemir na BGA. I hvala Oberstilleu što je izgradio stroj (dobar, ne Dr. Fooov) koji tako glatko radi na platformi.
Ovo je bilo tvoje izdanje u ponedjeljak.
Preporučujemo da slušate Foo Fighterse dok svirate, jer ne može biti više u skladu s brendom. Koju god glazbu odabrali, pazite na nju i svirajte pošteno…
