Ohhh, this was SO FUN. I especially loved playing the mandolin to solve puzzles and pathing; it felt like a really fun way to manipulate the world.

Loop ProtocolReally enjoyable and polished! The concept is super creative and fits the jam theme well. I can totally see this turning into a full game with a bit more content. Great job!

Eyes on the PrizeAwesome game! Felt like a good NES game. There are lots of games this jam that involve a time loop, but yours is the most creative and enjoyable. The puzzles are good and I like the mechanic of playing the mandolin to accomplish various things.

Path to PlentyHonestly, I had a great time playing this game!! My only complaint is that spawning at the start each time you die gets a little annoying at times (mostly if you're in the middle of a puzzle and die, and then have to go through half of the map to get back).
Still, the level design is really impressive for being done in such a short time. Amazing job!!

HelliveryAbsolutely loved this one, I think it tied into the theme well and was a blast to play. I could easily see this being sold as a full game, and hope you do!

Rumor MillThis was really fun. The concept is super cool, kinda like the ocarina in the zelda games. I think the movement could’ve been faster/snappier though. I also don’t really see the theme connection but I don’t really mind. The timer that kills you seemed unnecessary and felt like it only existed to relate to the theme. Otherwise I have no real criticism to be honest. Good stuff!
