How does your game fit the theme?
When the player moves, they loop around platform corners. The player can "shift" to move and loop things by shifting out of bounds. Additionally, the story also loops.

Loved the puzzles, I had a lots of fun. The solutions aren't super complex also. The storyline also makes the game more interesting, and love the artstyle and music for this game. Hope to see more levels and mechanics.

ChronoBotsLoved the puzzles and I actually thought the controls weren't too confusing. The actual shifting from platforms was really smooth, and the slight effects to the screen helped sell the effect really well.

Spaghetti LoopersIncredibly creative and very well executed. My only complaint is that the controls are pretty hard to understand, but I'd happily play a full-length version of this. Definitely one of the best in the jam, very very nice work!
If you keep working on this concept I'd love to have an undo button!

KurikaesuI’m not sure the confusing controls are necessary, that part wasn’t fun. You could have the controls always move in their physical direction - e.g. s = right, so it either moves or shifts (both towards the right) depending on where the cat is.
Still, loved the game. Nice puzzles, everything comes together.

PurrpetualThis was a neat game. The puzzles were fun, and progressed well. The shifting mechanic worked really well, though it did take a bit to get the "positive" and "negative" directions straight in my head.

Second ChancesReally great puzzle game!
Only problem i had was keeping track of in which direction my up or down teleport would go.
Destroyed tons of boxes that way.

Cow Catcher CommotionBest game I've tried so far in the game jam, very unique and polished! Good job

Singularity FourCool concept and very polished. As mentioned in other comments, the controls can be quite frustrating at times. Awesome job regardless! :)

Horsing AroundThis is such a TREAT! The game is very well-polished and charming! However, the controls does get a little too woozy at times, it gets hard to predict which key shifts where. Outside of that, very enjoyable!

Craving SalmonVery polished game with very interesting puzzles. The only issue I had was the control scheme, I kept walking the wrong way when upside down, which was my fault. I do think there could be an indicator for the positive and negative axes for the bit shift

Loop RacerReally polished game. Cute narrative and music. I am tickled by the warped cat meows for some reason.
Got a little frustrated by the movement system (it's always going to be a little rough in a game like this) but an undo button could have mitigated this, as others have said.

Asteroid ShooterOh wow this was a gem. I really like how well you made use of the mechanics of the cat! Also why was Narnia censored lmao
Submitted
Venture ForthI like the puzzles. the controls are kinda weird but the art & music is phenomenal. also the dialog of the owner trying to find the cat is pretty funny when the cat is going all over the place.

Gakmobile!Great submission! I loved your take on the theme. It was genius to make the teleporting work with the boxes too. Very smart.

Sushi LoopThis is so cool, incredibly creative puzzles. Really happy it kept building with the intro of that falling mechanic. Plus I love it when a simple mechanic can stump you. Really amazing job from all of you.
Only suggestions: An "undo" button like in Baba is You, because with complex controls its easy to make a mistake after doing a big setup and it felt punishing to get sent to the start. Also some other indication for as to which axis is positive and negative, but I'll scratch that one off because I am probably just not smart lol, not considering either of these in my rating.
Again awesome work. Oh and super unique credits that is so cool.

STUBThe mechanics is really cool. Controls are a bit confusing (W, S especially), hints help but it's still easy to make a wrong move. Overall, really interesting and polished, good job!
