How does your game fit the theme?
My game plays with two concepts of a loop. The game is about a perpetual death loop where you have to die to progress. The ending of the game also reveals a second idea about looping

I really like the one where you have to hold your stoned corpse in front of you as a meat shield. :D Amazing. 

I got discouraged on a level with moving platforms, pits, spikes, and arrows. It was a bit too difficult. I think the biggest factor was that the platforms don't keep you in place while you're riding them.

Nice work with the game and the theme. :)

Nice concept, I really liked this one! If I wanted to be picky, I’d say that the controls and jumping are a little too snappy. Well done :)

Really cool. Just I couldn't figure out the third screen. I couldn't manage to pick up any of my bodies so I couldn't progress. Anyway, I really like the concept, art and narrative! Good job!

Developer

You can push them aswell as pick them up. Glad you liked it :)

Oh I saw Mark playing it and now I understand how to beat that level! xD


Anyway, it would be really awesome if you could also rate my game :)

I decided to review every browser game in the comments (including yours)

The death-statues were very well-implemented - they felt fun to move around and jump on! Also, that loop twist at the end... awesome!

This was a very fun experience! The art style and story were great, and the main mechanic is very well made.

Fun game, we had a pretty similar idea too while brainstorming, but decided for something slightly different in the end. Also, those sprites look great!
