How does your game fit the theme?
The entire game revolves around the idea of being stuck in a loop both physically and mentally. The player wakes up in the same room again and again, with the environment repeating itself to create a feeling of monotony and inevitability. Even when you progress, you often return to the same space, questioning whether your actions have any real impact. Only by choosing to break the cycle and take risks can you truly escape the loop. This reflects the theme not just in the mechanics, but also in the story and atmosphere.

Music is sick and i really liked the motivating end of the game. My only criticism would is that movement could have been more precie even jumping over simple triangles weren't that much easy.

This is one of those games where it feels like more of an experience and less of a game. The high point was thinking the sound was some royalty free music and then suddenly hearing "Break the loop" and then hearing it again pitched way up, gave me a good chuckle
