This is quite good. The controls feel good and the difficulty is reasonable. The visuals could use a bit more love, but, other than that, I don't have any major suggestions. Congrats on finishing this in such short time 👍
It felt smooth, fun, and solid! Haven’t defeated the boss yet but I’ll get back to try again haha, it’s been a fun challenge!
Very cohesive game, impressive amount of content (love that it has a proper boss fight). Cool use of the theme, I liked the core gameplay a lot! A bit punishing that you have to make it all the way around to keep your souls perhaps but still a fun experience. Love the sprite work, especially the enemies.
Very fun — nice execution!
It works so well. Most games with this tail idea, make it a physics object that feels finicky, but the snake-game deterministic movement pattern of the scarf has reduced the mechanic to its simplest form and really allows the idea to build the complexity and depth into the combats dynamics instead. Great idea and execution!
This is the game I've played the most so far!
It was really cool! Awesome job, good luck with the jam :D
That was really fun! Loved everything about it tbh especially the concept. Everything in the game had a purpose. Really loved that we could fight the boss whenever we felt like it. Awesome work on this!
Thats a very cool spin on the looping concept!
Very well made, the main mechanick is simple to understand and can create such a challenging gameplay. The theme of the game build around scissors is also interesting.
Like some others, I also did not realize it was gonna loop back around, and the first loop was pretty hard. I got to a room where I had to walk over spikes to progress, which killed me.
I like the idea of using your magical scarf in a loop to kill enemies, cool idea. :)
Nice game, yo! The graphics and the audio were sick. The concept was well executed, it felt very natural. I died before the boss, those ranged dudes are tough. Truly a loopful game!
This looks fun but after downloading the game wouldn't run on my PC :(
Unfortunate :(
Which OS did you try it on?
I used the Windows build. It happens a lot when I try other download-only Unity games as well. I wonder if it's a broader Unity issue?
That's such a clever take on the theme! Really hard tho xD
Difficult, but very satisfying :)
Well done
Damaging enemies by dashing and looping - great idea! ^^
great game, bit confused how you use the souls tho i got 100 going through and couldnt go to the alter and ended up dying maybe i'm just not good enough
Really loved this one! It's a bit challenging, but has very lovely art and great music. The interpretation of the theme is very well done.
Really loved the art style, cool magical scarf! Good job!
Thank you so much, it means a lot!
Cool interpretation of the theme
I played this one for a long time, it's fun! I found it pretty tough at the start, and took me a while to get through the first loop. But afterwards it was great!
Hey, thanks for sticking through!
