Octoloop by sockpuppetcow
Octoloop is a 2D rotational platforming game in which you control the rotation of the world, and escape octagonal loops. I guess.
Controls:
A/Left: Rotate left
D/Right: Rotate right
W/Up: Jump
Special thanks to my twitch viewers for their support during this jam.

Let me guess, this would be your game if the theme was "Control the world, not the player"?
@marbles Thanks for the feedback! On that level I was trying to make something slightly more challenging because everything else was so easy, but it ended up feeling too easy to me. Could be the whole "developer knows all the tricks" thing. I ended up keeping it anyway cause I was actually trying to have 15-20 levels in this thing but kinda ran out of time and energy.
Also, during theme voting when I saw "Control the world, not the player" I envisioned something more mario-like, but that easily could've shifted towards this kind of thing.
I agree that gyro controls would be great here.
The stages get a little bit monotonous by the end, but props for making a good amount of them.
