Really fun concept and idea! I love how the loop theme was implemented here! I like the old retro arcade artstyle. Also thank you for trying out my game on stream!

Very fun concept and "out of the box" thinking. The "loop" theme is not strongly given, but yeah, "Loophole" kinda works I suppose, haha! Love the UI too - good job on making this, very impressive. 

Developer

This game is great! I love your take on the theme, it's so creative! It reminds me of Baba is You! I enjoy the art and puzzles, I'd love to see a whole, polished, full sized game like that! Great job, definitely contender for the top 100!!!

Thanks, you're too kind.

The style and word shaping definitely is something out of Baba, I'm not sure though about the puzzles. XD

God I'm a sucker for this art style, fun game, lots of potential

Developer

Nice, thanks for trying it!

Super creative concept for the jam! It was definitely a little overwhelming to see how many options there were for each zone, and it leads to some mismatched expectations when things like talking to the rat in the first level doesn't lead to anything. I wasn't able to get past the princess and evil wizard scene... I wanted to try chopping her hand off (sorry!) or just giving the hand to the evil wizard but I couldn't figure out the specific choice of words that was expected. Awesome entry even if I'm too silly to figure it out!!

Developer

Thanks for trying it! Yeah, I would've liked to add more interactions and hints but I barely had it finished in time. 

Your idea was right though, can I ask which "hand" choices you tried so I can see if I can add a different outcome to those? 

You're supposed to "Attack Hand of Princess".

Fun concept, would love to see it expanded upon!

Developer

Thanks! I definitely wanted to add one or two extra puzzles, but I like how the game is a short and contained experimental experience about misunderstanding the rules.
