How does your game fit the theme?
Our little house cat, Gunther, always has to return to the same tile he started the lap from in order to complete the level, making the whole thing one big, and oftentimes confusing loop. Also, there's loop-ception with small loops being part of the big loop.

The graphics are delightful and the character is very cute! The controls were a bit hard to master but very fun to use. I love the decorative graphics of the clouds and plants, very charming and pretty. The hold space to chase fish text was blocking the keys a few times, I think having that to the side would be nice. Overall lovely game!
Last level is bugged, I think! I fall off on the final slope down where I cannot change anything.
That said, the fact I got to the last level says a lot!! Insanely cute and entertaining game!
Yes you are right, on the very last tile of the last level, you will currently fall through the ground. Consider the level beat. Impressive stuff!
We fixed this issue by now but of course we couldn't update the game during the voting period. Thanks for pointing it out anyway :D
Fish/10 game, would pay money to play.
very easy to understand, very cool to play
it just needs come clarity with the states (sometimes an underlevel road seems to be at the same level)
yup! reworking the camera/perspective is on the list :) thanks for playing!
I enjoyed every second of playing this game! The game mechanics are phenomenal — my brain was confused, and my fingers behaved chaotically the whole time (in the best possible way). I love how this game challenges the player! The art is spot-on as well :D
GO GUNTHER!
Love the concept and art! The gameplay is easy to understand, and the difficulty feels just right. I really enjoyed the game <3
Love it!! Typing to turn roads' direction as the puzzle and timing element really fits the gameplay! Good work!
My teammate already played and rated this game with our account, but I just played it for the first time and cannot believe how good this is! This is the most fun I think I've ever had with a game jam game. Absolutely phenomenal job!
that's such a huge compliment, thank you so much! were so happy you liked playing our game!!!!
I hope Gunther catches every fish he chases <3
This was a cool game! I was concerned my keyboard was gonna give out and miss inputs as levels got more complicated, but I think the only one that gave me trouble was "pinball master" since it was using both the shift keys simultaneously. It was very nice realizing that the buttons on screen mapped spatially on the keyboard, and funny when immediately afterward I had to figure out how to not tangle my fingers up while pressing what I needed to!
Possibly the best thing I've played from this entire jam. The title screen conveying the main mechanic within the first few seconds of playing the game was genius! I struggled with a couple levels due to my keyboard not having N-key rollover, but I did manage the Left Shift - Right Shift one, and I got all the way to the end. Gimme more levels!
were so happy to hear you liked our game so much!!! we will most likely add more levels after the jam (we had a bunch of ideas we couldnt get done in time) so definitely come back to try those later!
Very cute! A great unique idea. The difficulty ramps up nicely and there is quite a bit of levels for a jam! I know I'm probably dumb, but I though the menu was broken at first... The letter idea for it is neat but maybe having some mouse controls would be nice as well. But a really great game overall, nicely polished with a lot of content, good work!
Very well done! You know, I'm an excellent touch-typist until I actually think about which keys I'm pressing, then I become a complete dunce haha. Really unique take on a puzzler, love the simplicity that ultimately gets twisted and fun. And the kitty is just a delightful character. Thanks so much for sharing! :D
