Really good stuff, loved the concept and music, I could see future levels making you choose between anchoring yourself or the platform before it resets. The platform jumps in level 3 were a little precise at the end, but that's the only critique I had.

Developer

I really appreciate it, thank you!

Congrats on the first jam game!

Nicer ideas with loops and anchors. Although I found a loophole - you can just always anchor yourself, and you never reset. I think it would be better to block your movement while anchored - to prevent this abuse :)

Developer

GAH, yeah that's the biggest issue I found with the game right after I uploaded. Planning on limiting the anchor to one when I have some time to work on the project some more, along with a few more changes

Thank you for checking it out, I appreciate it!!

Very creative concept, I could definitely see this idea expanded into a full game with some very complex puzzles! Really cool.

I haven't seen a mechanic like this in any other submission! Definitely adds some depth to the loop theme.

Developer

Thanks, dude! I really appreciate it! (:

The visuals, sound, and gameplay all worked great together. Could you also try my game :D

Very creative take on the loop theme which translates into a fun mechanic! The presentation is very polished as well, so bonus points for that :)
