Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You’re trapped in a time loop! Each run throws you against the same sequence of 10 enemies. At first, it seems impossible, but by learning from each failed loop, you can build the right strategy to finally escape. The loop is both narrative and mechanical: fail, adapt, repeat... and break free.

The game idea is nice, but it feels very bare-bones. The lack of sound and clear visual elements makes it confusing and takes away from the overall experience.

With this concept, adding some randomness to the abilities and polishing the presentation could make it a lot more fun.

Love the concept! I've tried to beat the big slime guy a couple of times, but i just can't manage to do it :P
I didn't think it was as much a puzzle game as i initially thought, but something there feels very right and quite cool!

So. friggin. GOOD!

This is so my game. Very engaging, very fun, very unique. Will come back to it after I rate a few more games, as is my duty as a participant. Graphics are a little lacking, and game language is inconsistent, but it does not deter from the experience. Got to the triple attacker for now, can't wait to beat it later! I could see this expanded into  several levels of difficulty, or a larger puzzle-style game.

If you have the time pleasecheck out the game I made art for, Crazy Cardboard Chicken Coop! <33

Thanks. There isn't any save so that it won't remember loop attempts from the previous attempts.

And yeah, production value isn't great. But I had a lot of fun making it. And playing it too, found myself trying to see how many different builds I could complete it with :D
