There was some interesting ideas here! I was rather confused with the "taking damage resets the loop" mechanic and the hearts I supposedly had? It felt like they conflicted eachother a bit. The platforming was also a bit floaty and unrefined, which many people do fall into the trap of when doing their first platformer.

Still, do not give up hope. I see you've been submitting to the GMTK jam for quite a while, and you should be proud of the effort you have put in! Keep practicing, and I look forward to your submission next year :)

A lot of your ideas were pretty cool!

I like the idea combined with a platformer. The movement mechanics and level design look a lot like one of the platformers I once made. Sadly, I found some bugs, like getting stuck on a wall when jumping against it.

I know this game jam doesn't have a lot of time but there just feels like a lot of unfinished ideas without a solid direction of what's going on. I saw the title screen say something about the "loop of violence" but all I was seeing dialogue was was the same phrase. The character keeps sticking to walls which makes getting down from platforms rather frustrating and seems to just break open the levels. There was also the weird monkey bar thing in the first room which felt extremely random and confusing, as did the red dudes who just seemed to chase you and glitch out if you jumped on them.

If you decide to keep working on this after the jam I'd be interested in seeing what it's like with more polish, but this is currently unfinished and I have to rate it as such.

Good level. Im not sure if its a bug, but i could stick to walls. I had fun. Good job!

Fun game! And the level is hard, which is Good!

Nice Game love it!
