Fun concept! Although I think calling this a LOOP game is kind of a stretch. It is kind of annoying, when i right punctuation and it boots me multiple messages back. But it was the funniest game in the jam!

I kept an eye on the development posts in the patreon discord during the jam, looked forward to see this come together! It’s truly genuine to the real experience, except much kinder in a way since you didn’t have to say your DOB and member ID 12 times to four people hahaha.
I’m happy that while I did get genuinely frustrated whenever I messed up, the game was surprisingly generous about being able to progress and get to the end of the game. It could have easily become ‘too realistic’ and gotten me just as mad as a real-life CS call haha. I just had to kill Leo, so I’m glad it wasn’t made practically impossible. The art was cute too, I liked the fruit loops. Very nice little package!
I do have to lower my rating for not being able to go to the CS purple man’s house and stab him in his sleep at the end though. No true justice.
Well that was definitely an experience :D I didn't have to restart much, just a few times at the beginning and it was pretty clear what to do from there. The part where you just had to spam "Refund" was very funny :) I also liked the music, was it inspired by Saria's Song/the Lost Woods theme from OOT?

Breaking the CycleI WIN!
This is super interesting take on "loop"! The whole game feels so purposefully frustrating to go through, but when I finally win it felt awesome just to break out of it. I really like the art, it feels really nostalgic and reminds of games like Emily is Away!

MAGNET_FISHING.EXEUnrealistic. Way too easy to uninstall. They didn't even require my social security number.
Seriously, though, fun little game, made me chuckle!

A Groundhog's DayIt was fun! I found it really funny and the idea creative. It was a little jarring how the pixel sizes were inconsistent. Very humorous overall, congrats on submitting.

Sushi LoopOof that was too real. Some good laughs in there and I like how you hid clues around the desk. Fun times.

Warp LooperThis game has a ton of charm! I really loved the humor and I started click around the room to investigate things because I realized it's relevant. I had some good laughs with this game.
The only thing that stood out to me is the first time I was in the main menu loop, it seemed like options 1 and 3 got switched before it was announced. I thought it was bugged until I saw the statement about it in the next loop. Now I just wonder if it was LEO being a jerk.
Great job but I'm getting a Capricorn.

PyrodromeMan, that reminded a bit too much of 'getting over it' :P
