Thank you so much for the feedback! I like all the suggestions. I am now working on cleaning things up for the game outside of the jam and definitely agree with all of your feedback! I really appreciate this, it's very kind!

Such an addictive game, I could see myself playing this a lot as a phone game!

Really fun game, had a good time playing it!

Thank you! I am glad someone commented on that :D A small detail which made play testing & debugging 5% more fun ahaha

Thanks for playing, I appreciate the feedback. Personally, I would have liked to spend more time on audio, but I appreciate that it was a positive aspect for you, makes me feel a lot better about it! For the player leaving the screen slightly, I agree, an easy fix as well, but time restraints got in the way (excuses excuses) thank you!

Thanks for the review, the indicators for the enemies is definitely something I would do if I had more experience and a take away for next Jam, I ran out of time and only considered it during playtesting when some of the enemies were taking too long to spawn, something that can definitely be improved, thank you!

Loved your game! Thanks for checking mine out, great that people can have such similar ideas yet execute it so differently, congrats on the project and cheers again!

Just came here from your comment, and you were right! Loved this idea and the music really sets the tone for the game, very atmospheric, well done!

Great game! I would have loved no music to start with, then adding in each section would give reveal the full song at the end, but having a backing track does make sense too, loved it, good luck!

The car feels great to drive, well done on this one! Great

Really fun game, love the fast-paced nature, I liked how the hard-to-handle car added so much more intensity. Perhaps a collectable that auto-drives the car or temporarily improves steering/handling could help add some calm to the overall flow of the game, which would be nice, but a great entry nonetheless!

Thank you!! Yeah agreed, definitely something to note for next time, taking more time to balance things is a necessity, appreciate the feedback, thank you!

I’m creating a TODO for a full release which would definitely include an auto fire option, I didn’t even put it in for debugging and my hand aches because of it ahhahaha, thanks for playing!

I appreciate it!! Thank you!

The kind of game I wish I had made! Great game

Great game, was frustrating in all the good ways!

Honestly such a simple concept so well executed! Great game!

best time was just over 13s, really fun, yet so simple

Thanks for checking it out!

thank you for checking the game out!! Fully agree with this, I’ve learned for next time that some simple animations would go a long way and 100% agree with the font, thank you!!

Absolutely not a single complaint, the perfect game

Fantastic game, really fun to Play! Would play a full release of this

Addictive game, could play games like this for hours, very well executed format, congrats!

Took me a second to understand the mechanics, but a solid game nonetheless

Just discovered this when searching for my own game ahaha we chose the same name! Nice!

A fun game to play, I really enjoyed this one, congrats and good luck!

Loop of the Dead

Loop of the Dead by Craig Makes Games

My submission to the GMTK Game Jam 2025

https://craigmakesgames1.itch.io/loop-of-the-dead

Summary

The theme of this years Jam was LOOPS.

Loop of the Dead is an infinite round-based 2D zombie survival game in which you must survive as long as possible. The game ends when the zombies overwhelm you and your health reaches zero, your health carries over across rounds, so be careful it doesn't get too low. At the end of each round you are presented with a choice of 1 of 3 upgrades which will help you survive for longer:

• Increase health
• Increase damage
• Increase speed

You may wish to upgrade damage to kill the zombies quicker, however, as you take more damage you may be forced to increase your health to make it through the next round. Increasing speed allows you to evade the zombies faster which will be required in later rounds as they get faster and stronger! Good luck!

This is my first ever game and entry to a game jam so enjoy and all constructive feedback is welcome! Thank you!

A great concept, took me a second to learn how the rewind worked, but a solid choice for the jam, good luck!

This was a fun game, the UI could do with some scaling but that's minor!

Really fun idea, would love it to go on for longer

Really fun game!! Possibly starting each level with a zoom out of the board could help plan ahead, but I really enjoyed it

The head smashing animation is my favourite part, great game, well done!

Hey, not sure if it's on my end, I couldn't get the game past the start screen, maybe it's controller support only? Otherwise I would love to give the game a try

Fun game! I enjoyed this

Thank you for the  articulated feedback! I 100% agree with it. As my first game jam I have learned a bunch of stuff for next time, and if I was to make this a full game I would definitely implement your suggestions, maybe mix up the upgrade options each time and have a random selection to prevent the player from boosting too quickly! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!

Loved it, well done on this one!

This game is stunning, artwork is 10/10, gameplay is so addictive, tough game but one of the best games of the jam so far

Thank you so much for the review! it's appreciated 

Nice!
