How does your game fit the theme?
In You Are the Loop, the player doesn't control the character directly — instead, they create a loop of commands (like Move, Jump, Dash) that repeat continuously. The character follows this looping sequence until they reach the goal or fail. The challenge lies in planning and timing the loop correctly to solve puzzles, making the loop itself the core gameplay mechanic.

Great game! I love the nicely designed puzzles. The art looks really good too! Great job!
Cool game, I'd definitely like to try the more difficult levels in the future. Well done!
Fun game! I loved that you have to time the sequence to run at the right time to miss the spikes :)
Simple concept but really interesting to mix it with timing elements relying on when you actually start the loop. Visuals and audio are well matched and look good. Great puzzle game!
Nice game and the visuals works really well with it
Amazing concept! The art is extremely polished and music fits in well, good job!
Liked the game, felt like I was coding but with blocks :) Nice work
This is an excellent real time puzzle solving game. Congrats.
Thank you so much! 🙌
I’m really glad you enjoyed the game that means a lot! Appreciate you playing and for the kind words!
Nice visuals and a good use of the theme! I wish the real time puzzle elements were instead tied to the moves you make rather than real time, though.
Thank you! 😊
Really appreciate the feedback..
The game puzzle design and art work well.Good job!
Thank you so much!
Very Nice game blud
Appreciate you playing glad you liked it!
Is it just me or is there no backwards dash command? This is a really clean and satisfying game though!
There's no dedicated backward dash command in the game!
However, you can dash left by combining Move Left (←) followed by Dash (⏩)
Really glad you found the game clean and satisfying thanks so much for playing!
I really liked the concept, it's really well done, great job!
Thank you!
great execution of the jam theme, very clever idea, and the visuals/feel are amazing!
Thank you so much!
Fun idea. I enjoyed all the puzzles, but I would suggest maybe not starting the timed events until the player presses run.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! That's a great point starting the timer only after pressing "Run" would definitely improve the player experience.
Really glad you enjoyed the puzzles!
Lovely puzzle. Game feel, visuals and sound feel complete. The only thing I miss is more levels. Super fun
Congratz on a great submission
Thank you so much!..
I’m really glad you enjoyed the full experience I definitely wish I had more time to add extra levels too!
Appreciate the kind words and encouragement means a lot!..
Pretty relaxing puzzle game! I found the vibe really cool. My only critique is that the game doesn’t really have a use case for the “wait” command, since the level is already in motion before the loop starts.
I also found a bug where, if you stand on the edge of the block in level 3, the loop doesn’t advance and you die.
Besides that, it’s an overall pretty cool concept. Good job! :D
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback!
Glad you enjoyed the vibe and concept that really means a lot. For “wait” command I didn't get enough time to design a proper use case for it in these initial levels. And thanks for pointing out that level 3 bug will see through it..
Really appreciate you playing and taking the time to share your thoughts!
Cool game! I liked the concept and vibe of the game. It's a shame there were only a few levels. Nice job!
Thanks a lot! I’m really happy you liked the concept and the vibe that means a lot. Totally hear you on the level count solo dev life + jam deadline!
A really fun game with cool puzzles
Thanks so much!
So satisfying! Really easy to understand, and fun to play! Good UI and level of polishing. I wish this game was endless! :D
Wow, thank you! That means a lot! I really focused on keeping it simple, clean, and fun.. so I’m glad that came through.
