arrayshift();I finished in 4 loops and 8:15. I thought it would be a lot harder since I'm not good with navigation but it was surprisingly fun. Don't know how you made a maze that enjoyable.

HE IS LOOPING [GMTK2025]The aesthetic is top but I wish there was a quick end loop button because I often got lost even though I was sure where I was headed. Also I didn't figure out how to skip the intro.
I'm sure the game is fun but it was too time-demanding for me. Maybe I'm not the target audience, and more hardcore players will fully enjoy it!

LooparoidAmazing, I had to keep notes, I kept getting stuck in loops :D

Wikipedia Loop GameI really dig the style!, but without an ingame map it is really difficult to play. With some luck and loops i got the sword but then I didn’t have the time for the key. I also feel that the theme is a bit forced in a way that it adds nothing to the gameplay and the story except one line of text (or maybe I just haven’t advanced enough)

Echo CircuitNice game! Even with some pen and paper it was really hard for map out the rooms. At some point I wanted to quit to me menu to reset the timer faster, but then I found out that the level is randomly generated each time so I essentially lost my progress :( The art style works really well to give this retro old TV effect

Retro NotesThe retro style artwork is amazing, it's very polished. Music and sound effect is also nice. But the gameplay is fine, It's kind of too easy to get lost in the maze, because all the rooms looks the same. And I found myself just clicking random direction and just hope that it's the right way. So it's not really pleasing when I have to restart all that work. Overall, pretty good!

Behavior ChangeMy sense of orientation is REALLY bad so this was super hard for me. Nonetheless, what an amazing game. Super polished, fun, creative, nice use of the theme. Wouldn't be surprised if this was a winner. Congrats!

WELCOME TO THE LOOP8 loops, 15:19.
Memorizing the room layout was a hard but fun challenge. I thought the retro aesthetic was really well done, with the crt filter, sprites, UI, and music all working together to make a very convincing recreation of an NES dungeon crawler.

Loop DefenderI love the art! It's a good game (it's really hard tho, I couldn't finish it) and I really liked that the paths change when you return to the main menu
