How does your game fit the theme?
In You Are the Loop, the player doesn't control the character directly — instead, they create a loop of commands (like Move, Jump, Dash) that repeat continuously. The character follows this looping sequence until they reach the goal or fail. The challenge lies in planning and timing the loop correctly to solve puzzles, making the loop itself the core gameplay mechanic.

Cool game, I'd definitely like to try the more difficult levels in the future. Well done!

Knot againFun game! I loved that you have to time the sequence to run at the right time to miss the spikes :)

Never Skip Leg DaySimple concept but really interesting to mix it with timing elements relying on when you actually start the loop. Visuals and audio are well matched and look good. Great puzzle game!

The Magic PlumberAmazing concept! The art is extremely polished and music fits in well, good job!

You, Again?Nice visuals and a good use of the theme! I wish the real time puzzle elements were instead tied to the moves you make rather than real time, though.

Escape from Planet NowhereIs it just me or is there no backwards dash command? This is a really clean and satisfying game though!

LoopSlasherLovely puzzle. Game feel, visuals and sound feel complete. The only thing I miss is more levels. Super fun
Congratz on a great submission

FroggyLicousPretty relaxing puzzle game! I found the vibe really cool. My only critique is that the game doesn’t really have a use case for the “wait” command, since the level is already in motion before the loop starts.
I also found a bug where, if you stand on the edge of the block in level 3, the loop doesn’t advance and you die.
Besides that, it’s an overall pretty cool concept. Good job! :D

It’s Just 45 SecondsThank you so much for the detailed feedback!
Glad you enjoyed the vibe and concept that really means a lot. For “wait” command I didn't get enough time to design a proper use case for it in these initial levels. And thanks for pointing out that level 3 bug will see through it..
Really appreciate you playing and taking the time to share your thoughts!
