Decently cute game, the visual effects really brought it together and the momentum based movement started to grow on me after a bit even if it felt stiff at times, the only issue I have is that the pacing can at times feel quite slow as it seems a lot of the time you are just brute forcing your way through the level instead of careful platforming. I do find it funny how the character dies when they win tho

The animations and sound effects are pretty funny!
The actual movement feels pretty stiff and floaty, like I'm walking on ice
I wish there were some more twists or strategy to using the looped deaths
Right now it feels like the only strategy is to run headfirst into traps as quickly as possible since you have to wait for each echo to trigger a given trap (so there's a lot of time spent just waiting for the echo to play)
Cool concept though and could see it being fleshed out a bit more

Boot LoopIt's a neat concept! I like the ragdoll animation and how they interact with the environment. You did a good job with the replay. I especially like the animation. But... I dislike the movement in this game. It's very floaty and incredibly hard to control. Not a good experience for a precision platformer. Also the camera doesn't communicate very well what's coming up. It's almost like I could run out of frame given enough space. Consider a look-ahead camera so the player can see upcoming traps (if they're perceptive enough)! You don't want the game to feel unfair because the game didn't show you fast enough. This is a great entry to GMTK Loop!
Awesome job!

SOLGreat game. the rewind could be a little faster, but everythign is very well executed, and the stumble across the finish always gets me lol

Board to DeathI love how he just dies after beating the level hahaha. Also the sound effect for the mines is verry funny. Great job!

Run Loopi, run!Cute art and nice iteration on the theme. My only complain is that the controls on ladders feel a bit clunky, but cool game overall!

Looper WarriorOne of the best games I have played so far. Excellent job, Ferre.
Cute art style, satisying audio, nice mechanics and well executed idea. I especially liked that I get "punished" for dying slowly and then have to wait for my ghost.
Good job!
