How does your game fit the theme?
/// SPOILER ALERT /// In the game, the protagonist (Carlos) enters a futuristic bar and finds a misteryous guy and eventually talks with him. After some fights with the locals you discover that that mysterious guy is yourself from the past. Carlos defeats his past self BUT the game records the player's moves and stats. When the game restarts, on the next playthrough when Carlos reaches the final boss again he realizes the opponent is himself, as played in the previous loop.
(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used
We made all the art (models, drawings, etc), we only used mixamo for the player's animations.
We also contacted a composer who is our friend and asked him if we could use some of his music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4aGlswgMno) we may update the description for more credit details

Very nice game game! Currently watching someone play it on stream. Well done!
Ngl I expected loop interpretations like this game to be more common in this jam, but they're rarer than I thought.
It's a nice game with a system that can definitely lend itself to expansion in a post-jam update. I'd recommend making it so you can see what enemies intend to do during your turn (like how Slay The Spire does it), that way there's an added strategical element as the player can plan around the enemies instead of just hoping they'll do something specific. The sort of comic book style of the cutscenes is really unique, and the music goes really hard.
P.S. I'm either really stupid or I'm unable to find the boss music on Snake's YouTube channel. If it's on there, please tell me the title - it's by far my favorite track in this game!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'll look into Slay The Spire to get some inspiration for an eventual future update. I also sent a message to Snake asking if he uploaded the song. He said the name is "Butada" and he'll upload it on sunday of next week because he can't access his computer right now.
Enjoyed your game :) - for some strange reaso I enjoyed the final "boss game music the most" - fighting felt a bit slow, but maybe because i played inside the web.
The graphics, sound design and humor are on point! I didn't have time to do the whole game but it seems really well made! Good job!
Thanks for playing!
No problem., it's fun!
Curious what you think about my game too!
I left a comment, sorry for the late response!
"Carlos punched a screen" cracked me up :D
Really fun game, i loved it! Love the style, the comics as cutscenes and the whole narrative lol (that guy looked too much familiar), the gameplay is great but feels a bit slow, maybe just shortening up the wait between an attack and the other would've worked better, but the ui, the music and sounds, really crazy! And even tho i have a potato as a computer, it runned pretty well, so don't worry, congrats again guys!
Thanks for the valuable feedback!
