a very good game and it reminds me of an anime called “solo leveling” combined with a very interesting loop element :D. And I also made a game in this game jam, called “Loop Track”. I wonder if you want to try my game? >-< If you come by, I really thank you very much!

How does your game fit the theme?
I saw the theme LOOP as the hero’s farming cycle!

Super creative concept! I love grindy games so this itched my brain very nicely. I did get confused though cause at one point I started losing battle power every battle I looped and then i died :(
This made my inner loot goblin so happy haha. Extremely fun and satisfying. There a few points of friction that others have mentionned already, but overall it's a great entry and I had a lot of fun beating it.
Relaxing, I enjoyed it a lot. Taking farming xp and items in another level. Great twist and great job!
The story was delightfully silly, the art was nice, and the game play was a lot of fun. I liked being able to control how far I back I looped and I enjoyed trying to figure out the best way to increase my character's power. Great job!
A very addictive game loop and novel mechanic. I wanted played for quite a bit, but it's quite a grind. Seems almost like a satirical commentary on grinding in RPGs. Artwork is nice, especially the animations, but maybe the background elements should be fainter. Really nice variety of weapons and items.
Recommendations:
- Cool and funky chip tune, but it shouldn't restart on looping.
- I got overconfident and left the stones behind and had to recover them when meeting a more powerful enemy, but the character moves so slowly going backwards.
- Mouseover the enemies should reveal their names, so I know when I've encountered the boss.
I love it! I like how you incorporated the theme by making an idle game! I really like the art style; it fits with the game itself. The music and SFX are pretty good! Great job!

This is a super creative idea, although I think there's a bit too much friction in a few places. The dialogue being unskippable rather than being given to you while you play the game feels like a missed opportunity. Needing to stop to check drops every loop rather than being able to do a few loops and then check the ground for the best items. The music became grating super fast too.
As a game design I've not seen anything else like it, it's definitely got potential but I think needs to just have slightly better game feel to be less frustrating.
The game is really fun ! And I love how you used the theme, welll done 👏
very silly, love the art and story!
If you don't mind, please consider rating my game as well :)
GET OUTTA THE WAY I’M SCALIN’ HERE
this was SO satisfying, it really captures the fun of getting a build together and making choices to keep growing faster and faster. The concept was really funny, although honestly I wish it kept going! Double blood blade on three forges goes nutty, I’m gonna do a run with magic next.
out of all the character rewind games i like this the most so far. Loved that you can control where the loop start and stop ends
Really great idea for a game. The art looks fantastic and the color palette is super soothing, which made it really pleasant to play. I also enjoyed the funny dialogue.
The gameplay felt very satisfying with good feedback and smooth animations. The game loop is clever and the progression kept me interested. I liked the cool variety of weapons and how their synergies added depth.
One thing that got a bit annoying was the music looping back too much. Also, it was a little too easy to lose items before I had a chance to inspect them. I wish the items weren’t as affected by the time loop.
Overall, a really enjoyable experience!
This was really cool to play. The idea of being able to loop with the stones to make a fight multiple times to grow stronger is really fun. And i think with objects you can equip, you can be so strong, at the end I was at 170k and I think I could have done way better in my farming before
