This cat's stuck in a loop-de-loop within a time loop within a reincarnation loop within another time loop. (It'll ALL make sense once your (surviving) incarnations have a chat with Time Lord themself)

Your average rank is #31 in GMTK 2025! Congrats!

Here is the link with all the rankings:

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

Wow, crazy impressive! Love the style and the music, well done!

I found this punishingly hard, and got bored of dying quite quickly. its a great interpretation of the theme though, and the visual aesthetic was great. incredible UI, especially the 9 lives ring. and actually, this is one of the more narrative games I have played in this jam so far. nice work!

Developer

thanks for playing!! i know this game is TOUGH AS NAILS, especially in the first couple of incarnations... i'll definitely tune the balancing of the game (especially in the first grand loop) in the post-jam update!

Very good tutorial and start into the game. Very creative solution of the loop theme <3 Enyoed to play it even if it was too hard for me xD Great game! Love also the visuals simple and moody.

veerrryyyy frickin cool!!! love the skill-loop and general abundance of loop themed visuals (which btw goddamn that juice is crazy) everything was nicely introduced at the start -- super rounded and polished game! amazing job!

PLEASE put this on Steam after the Jam so I can give you money for this masterpiece and more people can see it, this is peak, this is perfection, I felt something, it was a whole experience.

Developer(+1)

that's not a bad idea!! maybe after a couple weeks of work i could flesh out the game into a full steam release...we'll see how it goes!

Woah… Not only this amount of polish would already be insane for a 2 week gamejam, but it was made in 4 days! That’s unbelievable!

Apart from the desaturated/pastel color palette that makes things a bit hard to see (especially the fire that goes around the loop-de-loop), everything in this game is worth a 6 out of 5!

I don’t think you would’ve had enough time to implement this during the jam, but it would’ve been nice if we could see all the previous upgrades that we unlocked because sometimes I forgot what my abilities were.

A very good game especially the unique gameplay and animation, I really like this game. I also made a jam game this time called Loop Track, if you have time to try it I would be very grateful!!!

My only complaint about this game is that, while I absolutely dig the desaturated aesthetic, it can get incredibly cluttered as the things that hurt you and the space you walk on aren't super far apart in saturation, so something like a high contrast mode to make things a little clearer would have been nice.

That said, this game is incredibly good. I absolutely love how reactive everything feels, like every action you do elicits change somewhere, even if it's just a wobbling of the level, and the sound design and music are both so smooth and impactful that it makes me wonder how this was possibly made in 96 hours. It's genuinely great, I love it.

Developer(+2)

glad you enjoyed it!! also, that's actually a really good solution, I'll be 100% sure to implement that in the post-jam update!

I mean, entries like this are actual video game. You could barely recognize it was a Game Jame Game. Really impressive !

Absolutely adored this game, the concept is very very creative, very smartly implemented and I am in love with the animation and audio.

This is peak. I love the concept and the presentation is great. I did find the game to be a little difficult at times, but it's still really fun.

Great submission.
