Not my general type of game I enjoy, but I do like the concept. Having the rotation of the wheel forces you to either wait until you are on the right ability, or attempt without it.
Having the wheel a bit more intractable or present would be helpful, though. Such as instead of just one ability, it were going between 2 and 2 (jump + dash; gravity + speed)
Good job.

Spiral: Infinite SanctumI liked the time-based abilities; they encouraged more strategic decision-making. Great job :D

The Last Pepperoni536 seconds to beat it. This was a nice challenging game! Gravity and speed felt like enemies in my playthrough, but that could just be me. I like the main core loop in it switching and even adding a powerup that would reverse the direction of the loop, giving you a way to control it. Nice work!

Seclud@adI like the game idea. Maybe the loop "power" should be in the middle of the screen because we really want to see it all the time.

Goblin GetawayThat's a very nice idea. The movement is a bit slippery with the momentum, a bit frustrating for a precision platformer. But the wheel of abilities give some nice variety on the gameplay. It could have a bit more control over that as sometimes you would be waiting for the ability needed for certain challenge. Maybe multiple paths that use other abilities would make it more dynamice. In any case, nice job!

Planet ProtectorA good concept, although I did find myself waiting a lot of the time for the right ability.

Maru Sumi-eGreat concept. Excellent take on the theme! A bit challenging, but that's probably just a skill issue lol. Overall great game! Keep it up! And if you can, would you mind checking out my entry as well? Thanks :)

Loopy JohnReally smart take on the theme. Being able to change the direction the ability loop was a nice touch as well, good job!

Quantum WarpersNice interpretation of the theme. I did feel that the jump and dash were a little stronger/more useful than the others and I would just wait for them to become available. But the idea is definitely there and the platforming was fun :)

Deja Deserta very interesting take on the theme of "loop", admittedly i found myself more often than not just waiting for the double jump tokeep progressing. I didn't see much use for the other abilities apart from some specific situations where you had to use them, per say the dash but other than that i found for example the lower gravity w higher jump to be more of a handicap more often than not. A bug I found was that you could kind of "cheat" death for a split second after respawning, I think you added some kind of i-frames but you should have probably frozen the player's position too. Overall great entry!

YOU AGAIN !?
