How does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme in both its story and gameplay mechanics. If you play the game, finish it, and then start it again — and pay attention to the player IDs — you'll notice a loop in the story. From a gameplay perspective, the game takes place on a cube. If you fail to find the correct path, you'll get stuck in a loop, endlessly rotating around the cube.

Creative! Took me a while to beat, but that's probably just me, made it feel all the more satisfying . The art is nothing too special but it has a style and it works well, I like the starry background, really helped with selling the movement. I encountered 2 bugs: you can infinitely jump of doors and buttons and sometimes pressing R didn't restart.
Also, you are a villain for putting those spikes bellow the teleport
Solid game, well done!

WiredThank you so much for playing and for the detailed feedback!
Glad you enjoyed the challenge — and yes, those spikes were totally evil on purpose 😈
The bugs you mentioned are super helpful to know. We had limited time, so unfortunately we couldn’t polish everything as much as we wanted.
Still, hearing that the movement and style worked well for you really means a lot!
Nice work! reminded me of kula world from ps1 in a way. I think the art style could do with some work, but the game play and puzzles are well done. very much a brute force kinda game until you get it right, but some people really enjoy that. good work!

Lapse (GMTK 2025)This is such an intresting mechanic kinda reminds me of the 2d/3d platformer
I did get stuck on the second level T_T hopefully I figure it out but its an amazing game

Breach ProtocolThe core concept and mechanic is very interesting, remind me of Fez somewhat. Artwork is minimal but it works in the game's favor. Level design is quite barebone, it's hard to tell where to go or what to do sometimes, I brute force quite a bit of it, soft locks be dang XD
Submitted
Death of The Flowerthe consept is soo cool though you have to be super careful of soft locking yourself this game is on my best list soo far!

Lupus Saves YouI feel kinda dizzy but in a good way, Use brain to geometrically solve the obstacles. Creative and Fun!

Peddler's HustleI like the interpretation of the theme. You loop around the corner to a different dimension. Weirdly it reminds me of the ice puzzles in Pokemon haha

GLORBIT Saves the GalaxyI really like this game! It's a nice puzzle game that's interesting and engaging, and I just love the cube mechanic :)
The visuals are relatively simple, but the gameplay itself makes up for it <3

Attic RequiemWow the narrative was really engaging. I expected the twist at the end but it was still very impactful!
The gameplay part was fun too (excpet for level 3 which was infuriating, especially the sneaky spikes at your feet when you teleport in the pink room haha). I had a good time.

I Want to Hold HandsThank you so much! I’m really glad the narrative kept you engaged, even if the twist was somewhat expected.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the gameplay overall, though I totally get the frustration with level 3 — those sneaky spikes caught a lot of players by surprise! Haha.
Thanks for playing and for the thoughtful feedback!
The narrative was very interesting! I loved the moving in 2D along faces of a 3D object!
Submitted
ChronotrailI love how smooth switching between different faces feels! The puzzles were super trippy, and the narrative was a nice addition!
Submitted
RHYTHMETRICVery impressive game. The game idea is very good with the loop and the implementation of a platformer around the cube. Also the polish here really stands out, there are a lot of small details adding more to the experience, making this game already feel finished even though it is a game jam.

Escape, Die, Repeat!Really interesting game. The puzzle game being on multiple sides of a cube makes for some interesting combinations (and the fact you needed to be a specific orientation to enter the door meaning you had to take paths with different sides of the faces on the bottom). Seemed to focus a lot more on exploring the cube to get information as opposed to a pure puzzle which was pretty nice. Some solutions I definitely stumbled onto though lol
Story wise it was pretty good. Could see the twist coming but it still built it up well. And the fact that ends up being a forever looping cycle is a nice tie in to the theme
Submitted
OuroborogueThank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!
I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the multi-sided cube puzzles and how the orientation added an extra layer of challenge. The focus on exploration over pure puzzle-solving was something I wanted to emphasize, so it’s great that you noticed that.
Glad you liked the story too — even if the twist was somewhat predictable, I tried to build it up in a way that still felt satisfying. The endless loop theme was really important to the narrative, so I’m glad it resonated with you.
Thanks again for taking the time to play and share your insights!
Hey, thanks for checking out our game! I like the intro in your game, and liked the idea. I got stuck on level 3 though haha, but it's fun and challenging!
