Such a smooth and polished game! The art and animations really stood out, and the gameplay was both fun and challenging. Well done!

How does your game fit the theme?
You run around in a loop, and all of the boss's attacks, are on looped timers.

Fun idea with a cute art style. I liked the way the level select was implemented. Would be nice to have some more visual indicators for example where spikes will appear when you collect a purple thingy. The music was nice but the overall mixing with it and the sfx was a bit poor, it was very loud and some of the sfx (like when the robot shoots a homing bullet) are quite harsh.
Fun game ! loved how challenging it was to initally get the hang of the sense of direction but it was super fun once you got it
Nice job! The game is quite polished, movement feels good, and the squishy animations of the player is cool.
However, a lot of the time the level feels unfair due to the randomness, (ex: spike spawning under you, row of spikes that are too long to jump over, etc), and the seeking bullets do stay spawned for quite a long time.
My game also has a similar planet-movement system lol
Cool idea for a combat system, although I found the spike hitboxes a bit unforgiving for my taste. Still, pretty good. Well done!
It's a fun little game, maybe a bit too easy, but with a cool concept, I really liked the juiciness of the damage animation. But the audio feels too saturated, especially the laser one. I'd heavily suggest changing it or at least lowering the volume. Other than that, pretty solid submission, good job
I enjoyed playing this! Reminded me of that level in yoshis story with the ravens running around the globes. Our game also has a sphere/globe mechanic!
Love the gameplay idea and the animations! However, I think the first level should be a bit easier and it gets frustrating when the attacks are in the same area as the purple orb. I also think there should be a way to negate the homing bullets. Overall, it has potential!
This game's animation is really good. The background not being a still image is impressive and the player's jumping is cute and fun. The idea is innovative and the game is challenging. It's also impressive having three different bosses each with different designs. The only things to improve on in my opinion is to add checks so that boxes can't spawn in the player (which got me stuck during a playthrough) and spikes can't spawn next to each other making it so it is impossible to get across without taking damage. The audio design is very good too. Very nice job!
Hello fellow developer who made a game about moving tangential to a loop :3
Not too challenging, but the attacks are mostly fair, even if there's a chance a spike spawns under you when you're midair, because you get plenty of health pickups to survive through whittling down each boss' health. I'm glad that you telegraphed the laser attacks properly, and with enough time to move in level 3 if you're caught on the wrong half.
Good job finishing a game with multiple levels!
Great game! Movement is fun and bouncy, and the concept is very cool. I think my only small nitpick would be the random spike placement sometimes feels slightly unfair, but it's great fun to play regardless, well done!
Loved it! My only complain would be that jump buffer is way too permisive, if you double press space at any time, it will auto jump once it reaches the floor.
Nice fun game, it's enjoyable to try and beat all the levels. My only nitpick is how the bullets follow, the constant speed and straight-to-target movement could benefit from some variation. I still finished it and it was fun, nice job.
Really fun game, it has a good boss fight, fits very well with the loop theme, and it is a beautiful game.
