I feel that the map prompts are not very clear. Sometimes I don't know where there will be new maps, and sometimes I don't know where there won't be any.
The sound effects are quite good.

Looped TapesPlayed and loved it! Such a neat concept. I’ve got Doppelchain up too—thoughts welcome. Keep it up!

DoppelchainWell made mechanics, with more polishing could become something of "Baba is You"

Rock, Paper, DeathCongrats on your first jam, I really enjoyed your game. Clever design, incentive to try again despite failing a bunch of times.
The audio gets a little annoying, since there are only 2-3 sfx (move and power-ups basically?), maybe it'd be worth finding more satisfying sounds to the ear :D
Well done though, I'd play more levels of your game and have fun.

Ca(ugh)t In A LoopCongratulations on finishing your first jam. I promise you there are great adventures yet to come. Enjoy it.
The game idea is simple yet clean, to say the least. Though the game is short, I really enjoyed discovering the rooms and calculating the optimal solution to keep my steps in check. Very cool entry.
One thing I’d love to see in the game is a retry button. Sometimes I mess up so badly that I know there’s no point in continuing, and that’s where a retry button would come in handy. Also, in case a glitch happens, it’s helpful to have that option too. Good job.

Rebind: EvergreenDespite how basic it looks, this was quite enjoyable! My only critique would be to add little arrows or something similar to show which directions have rooms. Or adding walls maybe. Adding the map did help fix this to a degree though
By the way, thanks for playing my game!

Butterfly EffectThis was surprisingly a really fun concept, a good example of how to make the best out of very minimal graphics. Great job!

Circumcircular OctahedronsNice idea! I think the map was necessary, mainly because there is no real difference between a wall and an other room. Also adding a little pitch variation to the movement sound could go a long way to avoid repetition. But an overall great entry, good job!

Speed BanditNice idea but I moved my character until I was on top of a block with the name "goal" on it and the game did nothing as if I hadn't just stepped on a block with the name "goal"
This makes the game impossible to continue.

Room with a LOOP (GMTK 2025)Fun! I had a really nice time with this, short but sweet. Original idea, good layout. Hope to see you work on this more!

THE WORLD IS ALWAYS ENDING.Simple but clever puzzle game. It was fun trying to plan the best route with minimal steps. Nice work! Some arrows in the game or something to show what areas can be travelled to so the map in the description isn't needed would be a nice post-jam update.

Please HoldI liked the simple but clever idea! Well implemented and minimalistic!
