How does your game fit the theme?
In "DreamLoop", the player is trapped inside a dream that loops endlessly. The only way to escape each loop is by intentionally dying. Each time the player dies, they enter a new version of the same level — slightly changed, but still familiar — creating a gameplay loop that revolves around solving how to die.

Great job! It's fun to turn a game like this on its head and have the puzzle be about trying to die. I also love whatever filter you applied to the screen and how it felt like it got more distorted as time went on (idk if that was actually the case haha). I had a lot fun!
