How does your game fit the theme?
Loop was used as the main inspiration of the Paella toss mechanic, where you have to loop your mouse on circles to throw the paella, which bounces and comes back to you, loop also inspired the arcade bullet hell gameplay, where you play on an infinite Loop. Also we hopefully will throw Mark's expectations for a loop making a game about paellas.

A unique idea and controls , i enjoyed this so much

I think this is a very creative game and a pretty neat idea. The game looks very good.

I think adding a curser for the paella throw would improve the game a lot since it gives a clear indication where the it will be thrown. Making the area bigger as you progress could be nice as well. 

Also increase the Button collider of the main menu play button. And maybe add an enemy counter on the top ig. And have more power ups. And indicator for when you'll get a power up.

The music is pretty good and the voiceover is kinda funny and fits the game

Overall I think this is a great prototype and with some improvements and addition it can be a fairly nice game

Cool little arena shooter, I think getting the paella spinning is probably a bit too fiddly but it pairs well with making navigating the space more challenging

Dang hard to get the pizza spinning, my arm is screaming in pain! Its a fun concepts and it is well executed but DAMN HARD TO SPIN THE PIZZA 🔥

Great game. Enjoyable loop, interesting and mechanically challenging, easy to learn but hard to master. Thanks for submitting on stream!

As a fellow Mediterranean, I completely relate with having strong feelings about ingredients in your food, so I am hooked already. Plus just the whole idea and visual design is amazing. And of course, Papacito Loopez blows all the anime girls thirst traps out of the water.

The artworks and style looked very nice, i have a soft spot for games that look like this. The hitbox for the play button at the startscreen was beneath the actual button for me (i have a 21:9 monitor, it's not uncommon that i have issues like this even in bigger titles)  I did have some trouble getting the swinging the paella thing to work, but i did manage to keep myself alive by walking into the enemies with the paella.Nothing a little hint couldn't fix. Great job for such a short time!

Hey thanks for playing, we are aware there is a problem with the play button but hope that didn't detract it from the fun.

Simple, but very fun to play.  The game looks and sounds great.  Impressive feat given the short duration of this  game jam.  It's got a real nice atmosphere to it.  

The arena seems to be a little too cramped and crowded for a vampire survivors like, but it's still playable.

Este juego es TOP!

Creo que soy un poco cap de suro que no me lo he podido pasar!

BTW mi madre le echa pimiento a la paella, y queda bien buena! aunque en valencia diréis que això es un arrós no una paella ché!

¡Brutal la idea de usar la paella como arma “gastronómica”! Me he partido con los diálogos y la banda sonora encaja a la perfección. La física de los golpes es muy divertida—cada “paellazo” tiene su peso. Quizá añadir algún power-up tipo chorizo picante para versiones avanzadas lo remataría, pero vamos, ¡menudo arte!

Gracias, de hecho quedamos con ganas de retocar el juego y pulirlo por que la verdad es que tirar paellas tiene potencial

Me he reido bastante con este juego, las grabaciones de los personajes son sublimes. ¿Quien dijo que una paella no podría ser un arma?

Como Valenciano me veia en la obligación de valorar este juego. Muy divertido y buen diseño, he tenido algun problema que otro para darle al boton de play pero al final pude disfrutar de dar paellazos.
