L8ps by Delender1100
In L8ps, you are in a loop (who would've guessed) which has zero surprises whatsoever.

But I'm not sure if I did something wrong but I couldn't go anywhere. Yeah I know it's a loop but no enmies or anything.
There are a few things I can do to change the loop config, but I usually get stuck pretty quickly.
This game does well:
- :medal: great minimalist style
Could make this even better:
- :heavy_plus_sign: sometimes my space key wouldn't register.
- :heavy_plus_sign: hefty download for a tiny game! if you can, split the game binaries by platform
- :heavy_plus_sign: add some explanations and teasers, screenshots etc. to your game page on LDJam
All in all a tiny game entry with an interesting, if vexing reveal.
The graphics are quite charming though!
Jumping mechanics are definitely an issue. It feels very unforgiving and unfair and I couldn't get past the second or third loop. If you touch those up a bit and instead introduce difficulty through the level design this would be a very good game, since the premise of the level changing as you go around the loop is already pulled off flawlessly.
The background tile texture got me a little dizzy, a solid background color should fix that, but maybe it was just me
