I couldn't even complete the three bats level hehehe. Love the phoenix sprite.
Solid work. Could not finish the endboss :D.
Was missing some background music. But solid work ! Keep it up!
Very cool! I love these games as ideas, but I am honestly so bad at succeeding them. Nice Work!
Cool game, seems we had similar interpreatations of the theme with the looping attacks :) I had a bit of difficulty getting the loops to close but can see some great potential with the enemy patterns and variations
Nice, reminds me a lot of Pokemon Ranger! Too hard unfortunately, the Phoenix seemed impossible to beat. Would have loved to be able to encircle several creatures at once! Some music & a backdrop would also have added a lot. But there's definite potential there, well done!
The Phoenix was made in a hurry so I don't blame you if it seems impossible. 😅It was probably more fun to code than catch. I did beat it once, though. Unfortunately, I ran out of time before I could add those but its definitely something I want to polish up after the jam.
I wasn't able to beat the pheonix but all the fights up till that point were super satisfying to figure out.
SO COOL!! very fun mechanic the Phoenix was way too hard for me but the slime was a great enemy desgin!!
I like it ! It remembers me Pokemon Rangers, that's a really good idea with this theme ! great job !
I had fun with this! It was a nice balance between challenging, but achievable. I wasn't able to beat the big bird though, as it kept flying off the screen. Fun game concept here that's on-theme, nice job!
a really fun game man the only thing is that sometimes game just dont count your drawing as a circle but that is probably just mine skill issue. Great job
Thanks for playing. The issue has come up a few times so I doubt its just you. Hopeful I'll be able solve issue once the jam's over.
Interesting idea that match the loop theme. Mechanism can be made more intuitive. I don't know how to pass the first monster.

I like the idea and art, but sometimes mechanics feels weird and not completely responsive. Maybe it's just me and I can't draw a proper circle :p. Anyway it's a great job!
The simple levels were really fun, but the trouble started with the slime. It sucked that the slime spills were close together, so I couldn’t loop a single one or all of them, so I just had to wait for them to disappear on their own. But the phoenix? Man, he was off-screen most of the time! :D And when he was visible, there was always that tornado. Still, I really liked how the idea was executed.
First off, thanks for powering through my game - really appreciate you playing. The difficulty spike is pretty rough with so few levels, basically reaching the first boss less than 2 minutes after the tutorial and the final boss straight after. Sounds like the slime needs some tweaking but I can say that the phoenix is behaving as intended. XD
Simple and fun but other than the early levels it is very hard to get the circles to work. Great concept tho!
I don't know if I'm super slow or if my framerates could reduce the trail for me, but it was very hard to complete circles. Cool fun & simple idea for the theme tho.
