How does your game fit the theme?
Hunt Cycle is about the loops and cycles in the animal world represented by the animal food chain, but also looping through lives of different animals. The game has a collection of 6 minigames and has an ending scene you could reach ;)

Cool idea. The controls felt a little… stiff(?) in some cases but I had fun playing and it looked and sounded nice.

Yokai LoopVery cool game!
You really have a lot of variety in terms of game mechanics. Very difficult to pull off so well during a jam!
Well done!

Cow Catcher CommotionThis is so great! The art is fantastic and I love the loading wheel. My favourite is the frog level. I got some combos in there :) Very fun. Nice use of theme and great game.

The Orbital CascadeThere is an insane amount of content here - almost a little too much for a jam experience, where people look through hundreds of games. Perhaps shortening the cycle to just "worm>frog>bird" and focussing more on the mechanics of each one would improve the overall experience by making a playthrough feel a bit more rounded - pun intended. What's here looks solid, if a little bare bones.
I do enjoy the visuals and the fact there is variety in styles. Especially the worm level looks sleek with the tunnels cutting through the level.

Circus of the Flying Tiger!We try to aim for a little less than 5 minutes of gameplay to make sure everyone makes it to one full play-through.
Running the game with some friends of varying "gamer ranks" a day before deadline helps a ton to get a feel for what is unclear and whether people will finish the playthrough in time. (On that note, I appreciate that your game provided in-game tutorials that present one piece of info at a time)
Oh yes life is an endless loop of predators eating each other. The game reminded me that i've spent too much time in those .io game where people were eating each other.

Prince of TradeEnded up ragequitting after being eaten alive by fife fishes everytime I became one... Somewhat slow Zuma level, otherwise 10/10 would recommend to peacefully internally scream.
(kidding the game's concept is pretty good. I did ragequit though)

Sized Loopthis was really cool game experience! All the art and minigames were great

Sail the Sea - Game Jam ver.It was very charming to control each type of animal, and having each gameplay being representative of the animal (loved playing Zuma again after a long time x3)

The Tangled TapestryI was really impressed by how this game is a combination of multiple games. What surprised me the most was the replayability of this game. Artwork was really good too!

Endless TormentI was not expecting that frog haha! Really cool game, i wasn't sure where the loop aspect came into play until i died on the fish level which made me sad :( lol Interesting and very creative game. Good job!
