Congrats to the winners and thank you everyone who participated!

NOTE: This list was updated after @Whirlguy noticed Worm Herb was on the spreadsheet twice, resulting in an incorrect total. Worm Herb moved from not ranking to being 9th, bumping everything down. 15 Seconds will still get 1 point. I'm glad I posted my worksheet!

You can view the scoring worksheet if you'd like to see how it breaks down. You can also check out the runner-ups, all absolutely worth a look.

@TheBoogley would like to screen all TEN of his personal picks at the LoopdeLoop UNTIED screening in Melbourne, Australia on September 6th! I'll PM you guys for confirmation.

These and many more great loops are archived in our Loop Jam Collection.

This concludes Round 1. Stop by Sunday to see the results of Round 2!

Everyone is also welcome to participate in Robot Day, with robot-themed art, games, music or animation!

I thought the epilepsy one was going to get higher, I thought it was pretty cool.

Congrats to all the winners though!

[jessejayjones]

Congrats to all the winners!!! Seriously amazing entries, I can't wait to see what the next round brings! :D

[SuperPhil64]

Congrats to the winners and thanks to the judges and the people voting for putting me in the top 10!
There were so many amazing loops i can't wait to see what everybody does for the RobotJam.

[Sundownx]

Some great loops here, they deserve many more views!

Archery practice being my personal favorite.

[Wiesi]

What a great contest! Looping Light Show is my favorite entry. WolveGames not only makes some of the coolest GAMES here on NG, he also does awesome MOVIES like Looping Light Show. I'm stunned and a BIG fan!

And if you have missed it, please check out this WolveGames Game: Sprout

Seriously, I often catch myself thinking about how beautiful and creative I find this game.

[Zonex99]

Did the judges look at all the animations? There are some that weren't even scored. Also some of the animations are missing scores from certain judges.

Also how does the scoring system actually work?

[h2o0tterART]

Hah, after almost 4 years with no toons, my quirky loop didn't even score (now back to #$^! robots 01000010101 hahaha; here's hoping it'll score).

[Wiesi]

I got a beer!

[wappa]

Hell yeah! 13th! congratulations to those who made the top ten, you guys deserve it!

[davidpuralocura]

Those have scrolling issues when I make my screen narrow... I'd love to help with responsive style stuff, if you guys need some help!

[Hornybeeee]

Robbed?

He should have won.

Really enjoyed Wolvegames' approach to it. I was hoping someone would do something that took advantage of a loop within a loop thing. Is there a way to set the ones in the video player to loop? kind of takes you out of it if it never actually loops seamlessly without having to push play again.

If you're watching on a phone they can't loop currently but on desktop they should loop pretty seamlessly as long as the artist has checked the "This Loops" box under their project details.

i see. will the robot theme be judged the same way? if so, i think it will be better (in my opinion) if the judges were to rate each submission out of 10 instead of choosing their top 10.
