This was an interesting idea, and a nice attempt. It's not really a good idea to have the player go back to a previous level when they lose.

Thanks! For the going back mechanic; I did it that way because I wanted to showcase how this was an actual loop more clearly. Going to the first level after the fourth? Yeah it’s a loop, but it’s also not too uncommon in games. But going to the fourth after you lose the first? Now that’s a real loop, and something I’ve never really seen in games before. And it felt like the right amount of setback for loosing.
