I disagree with this game being 'bad'.
For starters, there's the solid main mechanic of the player only moving in a specified direction and having to rotate the direction in a set pattern. You could surprisingly do a lot with that. (And hey, that's another way the game fits the loop theme)
Then, there's the unique visuals making use of the letter Q as background particles as well as the player sprite, which looks nice and gives the game its own identity. The music is nice to listen to and the player sound effects give a sense of responsiveness, though there could be more sound effects. There also some bugs, but they don't really hinder the experience and, especially for your first game, are not a deal breaker.
Overall, decent game! 👍
