How does your game fit the theme?
it fits the theme as it is a time loop where you go back in time 1 year at a time in a time machine, playing the same level at different years. at the same time, you make fruit loops in a repetitive factory job (you make the fruit loops by walking in a hamster wheel, which looks like a loop)

is the title from Free Birds? If it is that's awesome! Not a bad little game.

Indeed, specifically from a review of FreeBirds

Absolutely had to play this one seeing the title. It’s always been my lifelong dream to go back in time to the first Thanksgiving to take turkey off the menu.

Will have to admit that despite its amusing concept, the game’s execution wasn’t the greatest. My main complaint is that the pilgrim enemies don’t seem to have a death sprite, so I wasn’t able to tell that I was neutralizing them at first and so was at odds as to how to progress. There was other jankiness too, of course, but hey, it’s a game jam game.

On another note, that ending really made me think… I could go for some Fruit Loops right about now.

I kinda get the idea, that's a fun take on the theme but the execution feel a little frustrating

Interesting take on the theme. You certainly added in multiple loops. The enemies in the trees were the most annoying for me.
