How does your game fit the theme?
Our little house cat, Gunther, always has to return to the same tile he started the lap from in order to complete the level, making the whole thing one big, and oftentimes confusing loop. Also, there's loop-ception with small loops being part of the big loop.

Really Good I liked the cat they make me happy (and giggle) the gameplay is unique simple but effective 10/10
Really fun and creative gameplay! I absolutely love that cat's face in the win state, made me laugh every time. I loved this one!
Very nice and really smooth and polished ! vry nice difficulty curve and mechanics, impressive work for a jam !
Really cool mechanic and I love the way the roads drop out between levels as a transition. Very well done!
Gunther is adorable, the art is sooo charming! The whole idea is creative and original and it was like yoga for my hands. The little animation of eating the fish when you finish a level was a great touch too!
What a truly charming game. I really hope you are featured! The art and sounds were all so cute. And the gameplay was really clever. It was pretty challenging, but very rewarding when I figured out the "right" sequence to the puzzle. Great job!!
I think you did a great job of slowing teaching the mechanics and increasing the difficulty. I appreciate the work that it takes!
aww thank you!! so nice to hear our work in trying to get a proper difficulty curve paid off hehe (it was mostly my co-designer that did that so huge props to them!) glad you enjoyed and thank you for playing :)
fantastic game!!!!!! I agree w alot of the comments and comparisons to twister, which is soo cool and creative and i would've never thought of!!!!
This game is something on par with all the best games on coolmathsgames, I feel like I'm playing twister with my fingers and i got really excited with the teleporting platforms, so many cool ideas! I love you you allow the cat to catch the fish at the end of each level! so generous... ฅᨐฅ
The idea of using keys to modify the level was really cool and I've never seen anything like it. It felt really satisfying to complete a puzzle and I got sucked in. Also I loved the winning animation when the cat eats the fish :)
This was lovely!! really enjoyed your unique idea, being active on the whole keyboard is a fun control scheme, unfortunately on the level where you used both the shifts it like would react weirdly and wouldn't react when I let go of the keys half of the time which made a really frustrating level, not sure if it's something with my keyboard or what. regardless I really enjoy and would have continued to the end if not for that.
Thank you for your comment! In case you didn't see, there is a "next level" option that lets you skip past levels you can't complete, since keyboard issues are relatively common unfortunately. I noticed the shift thing too -- that level will be remapped once the jam ends :)
It's cute and really beautiful! But the perspective can be tricky although that might be because of my E-Ink monitor 😅
E-ink monitor!!!! that's wild (I love e-ink displays)
also, thank you for playing!
Yeah I have an eye condition.
Anyway, would be really great if you could rate our game too!
I already did ;) but I'll let the rest of the team know!
Ohh my bad, and thank you!
Such a cute little game you made here. I enjoyed it a lot!
I really enjoyed the game, nice puzzles and I love the music! good job
I loved this game! The art and the music are super cute. At some point, it feels like tapping your head and rubbing your belly at the same time, or learning to play the piano. Super engaging. Well done!
Funny little guy!! I like the vibes of the game a lot, it feels like I am playing twister on my keyboard
This game is so cute! The amount of polish is insane for a game jam. Love the punny title and well,everything else about it!
Fun, charming, pleasing to look at, and deceptively difficult! And gosh I love that googly eyed cat mech pilot model. I really enjoyed this one, well done!
Wow, this might be even ready for a Steam Release soon. This will rightfully score high in this jam, well done! :)
I love the word play in the title.
Oh, that's a cute idea! Got stuck on a level where my keyboard couldn't handle pressing X, V and B simultaneously, but we enjoyed the game up to that point. Love the silly cat.
The keyboard issue is sadly quite common (it's a hardware thing), so we've implemented a "next level" option that lets you skip levels if you can't complete them, in case you didn't find that :-) and thank you for the nice comment, really happy you liked it!
Yeah, I've read it and tried out the online tool and was very surprised how weird keyboards are :D
the things you find out when making a game with unconventional controls hahaha
