Plastic Noodles: Connector

Time-loop RPG

Plastic Noodles: Connector is a PC bullet-hell, parry-based, turn-based RPG comedy about being cursed and stuck in a time loop. You gather resources, build a party, and try to uncover one of 26 endings before a tight deadline. The game also describes itself as educational, alongside its mix of RPG combat, bullet hell, time-loop comedy, and questionable decisions.

Dodging and parrying

Combat combines turn-based skills with incoming bullets. You can dodge attacks, but staying dangerously close to bullets recovers MP, turning near misses into a resource. You can also parry with a timed button prompt. Parry every bullet in an attack and you counterattack the enemy that fired it.
