How does your game fit the theme?
The Room loops itself giving the play a really fun gameplay mechanic to play around with the combat system designed around it. Weapons also loop back to you.

Loop D' FallThe game's art style is nice and the music is perfect, it kind of reminds me of the old Doom games. It kept me glued to the screen for a while. My favorite weapon is the boomerang, not bad!

Loop-KnightFirst of all, the tutorial in this game is perfect. Simple, effective, no text needed to explain the core mechanics of the game. Loved the art and sound design in this game as well, the style just felt great as a whole. I personally was a fan of the bow, where I could sit up on the higher platforms and shoot everything from above. The one bit of feedback that I have is that it would have been really cool if the enemies recognized that they could loop around the screen somehow, and used that direction to get to you if it's the shortest path. As it is now, I was able to really mess with the enemy AI by staying right on the edges of the screen and hopping back and forth. That was very entertaining in its own right, but I think it would be a neat feature for the enemies to use that looping aspect more. Great work!

ChronoculusYo this game is so fun to play. It has this feeling like Blade but in hell haha. Definetely has potential for further development. Also, Ouroboros always works haha

Hunt CycleOh man, this took me back to the age of flash games. I know I would have loved to play this on newgrounds or similar! Felt really nice, gameplay is smooth and fun and visually it works pretty well!
If I had to give a bit of feedback, I did not feel the need to use the platforms as I did not see much advantage but maybe it´s just my playstyle. The bow was amazing but I think the arrows dropped really soon so sometimes it felt like my mouse and where I was aiming wasn´t synced!
Great work!

Lupus Saves YouReally great atmosphere.
The weapon warm-up feels a bit strange at first, but after some two minutes of getting used to it, adds tactical depth.

arrayshift();Love this interpretation of the theme. A really fresh brawler that is just a ton of fun. Agree with some of the other commenters that I think a bit more feedback on hits and just more visual clarity for the different weapons and enemies would help a lot. Also, this is one of the best tutorials I've seen in a game jam game ever. It taught me the mechanic clearly, simply, and quickly. Nice work!
Finally a screen-looping game! I was hoping I'd see someone use that interpretation of the theme. The game around it felt very nice to play too, the attacks were really juicy and while people were talking about the almighty boomerang, I was personally fully on spear gang, that's where the real demon slaying is at. The only additions I would make are extra game feel surrounding hitting and getting hit, I'd recommend looking into hit stop and a shader that flashes the enemy and player in white when they take damage. That way you can fully tell when damage is being dealt, and in a way that feels very weighty as well
