Thanks for playing!
I am definitely going to add coyote time to the loop detection, it would solve the problem gracefully. Thanks for the suggestion!
As for who the player character is, I think I'm going to leave that up to player interpretation. I was thinking about adding a story, but I wanted to focus on making the gameplay the best it could be.
Your game was a lot of fun as well! The drawing mechanic was really intuitive and I love the fact that you added the translucent circle around your loop so you can see the area it will affect! All the different shapes you have to make for specific types of enemies was really unique as well.
Good luck during the jam!
