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

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!
Really cool game!
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 :(
I loved the goddesses character. She's so funny. Loved the loop interpretation. Really polished game. Enjoyed every bit of it. Would appreciate the effort if you could rate my game too.
its fun man!
That one is a great game, very unique :) (go rate mine, please)
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.

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 👏
A very creative idea & execution! Well done :)
very silly, love the art and story!
If you don't mind, please consider rating my game as well :)
interesting game, interesting development of the theme
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.
update: i integer overflowed with the source of magic/demon blade/holy sword. this game rules.
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
