Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words! I totally get the readability during combat, its a tough balance and I will work to improve on that.
About the theme: I interpreted "loop" as the mechanic of having to retrieve and reuse the same bullets over and over, which creates a gameplay loop where your shots aren’t disposable. I know it’s not a literal time loop or anything, but I felt it fit in a different way. Glad you had fun either way!
