How does your game fit the theme?
"REPURPOSE" fits the theme Loop both in gameplay and narrative. At its core, the game is built around a movement system that loops endlessly — a directional selector cycles in a loop, and the player must press a single button at the right moment to act. But the loop goes deeper: narratively, the game explores the emotional cycle of obsolescence — being seen, used, and discarded — over and over again. Each level repeats itself with slight changes, symbolizing how even in decay, remnants of purpose persist. The final message reveals the painful, purposeless repetition of abandonment… until the title “REPURPOSE” reframes the loop itself.

it was a cool idea but it was so frustrating waiting for the arrow to point in the right direction

It has a charming style, just like the story, and feels very cinematic!!

The mechanic is interesting, although I find it a bit frustrating; other than that, I think it’s a very good game!!

Very well done. I like how you implemented the loop mechanic through the controls. It's a very special game.

What a spectacular game! Loved the main mechanic, the little detail of the pink ball trembeling before coming into a stop - and the sound design is great!

a sick artstyle, always appreciate a little intro too :)) definitely an interesting use of the theme! only thing id comment on is that a big part of the game is waiting, and im wondering if smth could be added mechanically to reduce that? but had a lot of fun, great work!

Good implementation of loop, story and gameplay wise. I felt the timer for each move was little bit of a wait, but it was fun especially with the variations such as the bounce pads and double jump area.

Good take on the theme, took me a hot second to figure out the controls but it worked very cleanly, good tight controls

The was very well made. I really like the art direction and the interesting transitions. The only thing is wish is there was something to occupy the time while waiting to move.

Great job!

Loved the look and feel of the game! Great mix between 3d and 2d as well. Gameplay-wise, great ideas! This game has massive potential market wise, congrats!

I loved themes and story of the game, but I didn't find the actual gameplay very enjoyable due to having to wait for the control cycle because there was never any question of which control to use or when.

Great ambiance and style. 

The presentation of this game is so good!

I like the mechanics of predefined movements, and returning to the beginning with level changes reminds me of several browser games; it's something I've always liked.

Very good.

Me gusta la mecanica de los movimientos predefinidos, y eso de regresar al inicio con cambios en el nivel me recuerda a varios juegos del navegador, es algo que siempre me gusto

Muy bueno
