A little platformer for browser with looping is my coffee for the day! Great job man :v:

This is a nice game! Loved the graphics and sound, the idea itself too! Controls were a bit frustrating at times (you can't jump up if you're too close to a platform's side) but otherwise a really nice job!

Needs some improvements. For example it seems the player is stuck, when he's too close at a plattform. Besides that I honestly don't feel the theme that much in this game.

Nice work!

The controls are otherwise quite tight, but like Le Don mentioned, if the player dashes or runs next to a platform, they can't jump. It would be a good idea to prevent this from happening (or allowing the player to jump anyway).

The music is pretty good, only left me wondering on why is the music not looping? :smile:

Nice platformer game! The graphics are pretty good. I have noticed that you can't jump high when next to a wall, but that was the only problem I encountered. Good job on this game :thumbsup:

Not a bad little old-skool platformer. I think it's too hard for a jam-game but that's true of a lot of entries. I managed to grab the key and make it to the door but nothing happens. The first time I got there I fell through to the other side. :cry:

The graphics are simple but nice, and the music is good. Nice job overall.

Fun but a liiiiitle frustrating at the end after getting the key. Good job overall, I enjoyed playing!

Not bad for a small little game. I like the graphics and the music is very nice. The gameplay is fun, however, the person will often get stuck trying to jump next to a ledge and the dash is kinda wonky. Nice job overall, but next time I would suggest try thinking of something that uses a theme in a unique way rather than a game that uses a normal game loop and so you are technically ‘stuck in a loop’.

Nice game. The physics were a bit off sometimes, but it was fun to play and the soundtrack was great.

@garys @snowinn @meatball @codertrevor The physics were pretty weird in some spots. The platforms have several problems, it's true... and the ending needs to be fixed a lot as well. However I'm so thankful for the feedback from everyone!

Nice little platformer. I feel like maybe the theme use was not so obvious (I get that you are looping when you die but that's the case in most games already).

Maybe with a little more time you could've made a level that actually looped on itself with keys (or other objects) that unlock some things in a given order (so you'll have to do the level several times to unlock everything and finish it).

I liked the audio, very good job on that one.

Keep it up !
