Very cute and creative idea! I loved your visuals and your sound design. I did find the actual gameplay a little difficult and aimless, so maybe some more hints on how to get started would be helpful. But for a Jam this is pretty well polished!

Really cool concept with the cat as the light source, a unique twist on the usual damage-dealing mechanics! The art style is charming. While it took me a bit to get used to the mechanics, I had so much fun overall!

The HomeworkThe dual controls were interesting... I liked the art a lot also... I was expecting that when you completed a loop that everything inside it would remain lit up... like the wizard could se through the cats eyes... fun idea! Keep developing it.

Cosmo LoopI like the game. A tiny bit of feedback, maybe extend the light source a bit so it's easier to see a little further, and give an audio queue when damage is done. I was never sure if I doing damage with the loops. Otherwise, pretty cool concept

My Little SlimeI love this gameplay mechanic, creative idea! The pixel art kitten is adorable (and hey, I’ve got a wizard character in my game too who's also is a cat haha xD) Really love it

Bugged to deathReally fun concept and I got a nice chuckle when the cat ran into the portal haha very typical. Overall, I had a fun time playing but there were a lot of enemies so I did not get very far xD

Outer SeasonsRan into an immortality bug, no exactly sure what caused it though. I also didn't quite get the main lighting mechanic til the end because lit ground and unlit ground were hard to tell apart since I was playing in a bright room.

CharmomancerAn intro sequence was a really nice touch. I felt rather weak but I'm not sure that's really an issue.
Good job!

Squire's JourneyGames with cats are always a bit more special to me! Your game turned out really well , especially the short story at the beginning, it really helps draw the player in.

What We Left BehindI like cat. Cat very cute. Cat in game? I like game.
Very cool game and super cute art style. Loved to watch the cat just walk around 😄

Water HeroThis game is very unique, I liked the cat being a torch hehe. I had one bug with the enemy wich is holding the cat. I mean the bug happened because of him I guess. But im not saying that its a bad thing after all I had two cats (: One thing I can say is that there could be more feedback for the player. Well done mate, good job

Loop OS 1989 (GMTK 2025 Version)Well done!
Cute way of making the loop!
I really like your art style! :D
Submitted
Looped TapesCute kitty :3 The art and atmosphere is really good. There’s a lot that could use some more clarity, like what the pillars were actually doing to the crystals, and I wasn’t even really sure whether I finished the game haha.
