How does your game fit the theme?
To sort of explain it is, there is a loop at the top of the that screen fills up based on the time it took you to complete on your best run, each augment gets activated once it's reached on the loop, making for a really cool system where you will ALWAYS get faster because augments will activate quicker and quicker.

I find it a bit frustrating that the faster a score you set, the quicker you'll kill your run if you can't beat it :( I did manage a 24.20 time, I'll take it!
The augment system is a bit unintuitive, perhaps you could add an image of the loop in the game description showing how it fills up and works. Otherwise, amazing artwork and level design, I really like the vibe :) well done
Thank you so much for the feedback!! I can definitely understand the frustration of killing your run, and then the slow start getting back to how fast you were previously.
I also agree that the augments are pretty unintuitive until you understand how it works. Great suggestion to add something to visualize on the description!!
Thank you again for playing and taking the time to write a review!
The artwork and music are amazing!
Ahh thank you so much for playing!!
Absolutely love it!!, I want some QoL stuff cause I hate closing games with alt+f4, I think I got either a bug with the lens upgrade UI or it was a bit empty when it can be a great showcase of icons that re-inforce boosters and problems. Similar to when I'm running new loops I think either the loop time tracker broke so I couldn't see when booster entered in effect. Would be grate to add some indicational feedback on the player too when that happens.
But overall I want a full game of this, EXCELENT!
Thank you for playing and leaving a review!! I will say, should probably have in our game description that there is a pause menu by pressing escape to exit, restart a run at any time during gameplay, or change audio levels. Also indicators on the UI is definitely something we wanted to add along with some nice sound effects to enhance the immersion of when they activate!
We really appreciate the suggestions overall and will take it into account if/when working on a post jam build!!
Good luck with your submission in the jam as well! ❤️
Well done! This game is so polished and fun to play, I really liked finding out which path through the level is the most optimal and seeing all the upgrades and downsides. Great job!
Wow!! Thank you so much :)
We're really glad you enjoyed it 🫶
Good luck in the jam!
One of the most polished games at this game jam. I like the dynamic gameplay and the very nice visuals (The character animations, the background with the passing trains, and many other things were done at a very high level). I also like the attention to detail. The music becomes quieter in the underground part of the map (I don't know how to describe it, sorry).
One of the most interesting works at this game jam
Wow!! Thank you so much. All the kind words mean the world to the team and I! Especially with the smaller details, the music shifting to a more muffled track was added last minute in hopes to make the game feel slightly more immersive.
Good luck with your submission!
I really like the gameplay the art and music is head-banging . One thing though the slide is a little weird but other than that really GOOD I like the downsides with the upgrades
Thank you for playing! Definitely a big shout-out to our composer Mikel for the music! He nailed the vibes and it really is head-banging. I appreciate the feedback on the slide and do agree it can feel clunky sometimes!
I wish you luck with your jam submission!
Really loved the twist in the upgrade system — every good item comes with a downside, which adds a great layer of strategy. It forces you to actually think about your choices instead of just grabbing every upgrade mindlessly.
The pacing also felt great: starting off slow and then gradually becoming faster and smoother was super satisfying. That progression made each run feel earned. Solid design!
Thank you so much for playing on stream, and for the really kind words! It's always awesome getting to see people experience what you've created!
Good luck with your submission!! ❤️
Thanks for submitting your game for my stream! Artwork is great and the game is super satisfying to play!
Thank you so much for playing on stream! It was really enjoyable watching you play!
Good luck with Rolf ❤️
At the first glance I didn't get it.... But then HOW I GOT IT!
Fun game, kept me engaged.
Ahh yea the initial learning curve is up there since nothing is explained to you! But I'm glad you kept playing to experience what it had to offer!
Good luck with your submission! ❤️
The art is the best!! Gameplay was also engaging even though it needed some polishing, good job!
Ahh thank you so much!! really appreciate it :)
Good luck with your submission as well!
Fantastic idea and execution, while it was a little slow the rewind got me familiar with the level's ins-and-outs and the design of the level was really quite clever. Great work!
Ahh thank you so much for the review!! I'm glad the level design shined, it's something I took a lot of time setting up!
Good luck in the jam!!
Pretty cool concept though could be explained better through a tutorial.
The art is amazing though, both sonic and visual.
Very understandable!! We're so glad everyone's been liking the art!!
Good luck in the post jam!!
Having to beat my previous loop is cool concept! and having card-selection at each loop with penalty was good. also liked the polished camera movement!
Yay!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
Good luck with the jam!!
That first dash across a long section felt amazing! Too bad I couldn’t get that same feeling in later loops, but overall, super fun game!
Aww the team is so glad you had fun playing!!
Good luck with your submission as well!! ❤️
I was playing this was friends and it was super fun to go through. Love the pixel art and the idea is so fun. I dunno how you guys did the rewind and playback but that was so fire. you cooked. I kept messing up my slide i got heated lmao. Also really like how the level up system is a loop as well and not just straight forward upgrades.
I'm so glad you had fun with your friends! The entire team appreciates all the kind words ❤️!!
Good luck with your submission in the jam!!
Very fun, very chill. Sliding felt a tiny bit clunky, but I call it my skill gap. Pixel art was very nice, and I liked the idea of augmenting your character with buffs, but also requiring a downside.
thank you for commenting and letting us know you enjoyed it!! I do agree the slide can feel a bit clunky sometimes!
Love the art, love the music, love the controls, love the gameplay loop.
Also really nice touch to see your run rewinded.
ahh thank you so much, it means a lot to me and my team!! I'm glad the rewind affect was visually pleasing!!
Good luck with your submission!!
This was fun! Also, I loved the art :D Congratulations on such a nice game!
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Good luck with your submission!!
Beautiful and polished, it was very cool to see me racing against the ghost of my previous run. I would love to see someone who is good at speedrunning pick this up and do some insane strats I think that would be very cool to see
Omg I'm so glad you liked it and had fun!! There definitely is some crazy speedrun strats you can do with combo'ing augments!
Happy game jamming!
Awesome cover & good ideas (loop run). Nevertheless i didn't understand who the upgrades works. I don't feel thats upgrades were passives.
Thank you so much for playing!! We didn't have time to implement a tutorial or explanation so that's super understandable! To sort of explain it is, the loop at the top of the screen fills up based on the speed of the previous run, each augment is activated once it's reached on the loop!
Good luck with the jam!
