Great little game!
I really like this game!
I really like the character and the animation!
I loved the voice over and the audio
Loved the voiceover and the choice of short animated cut scenes are really creative!
Good game over all. the main character felt a little floaty and it randomly faced the other way but pther than that it was great
ketchup!
Well Done Ibby from Hawk Tak.
This game was very well structured and executed, I love the different levels and the increase in difficulty as you progress.
The animated transition scenes are excellent and add depth to the storyline.
Also ties in nicely with the LOOP theme.
For a young 12 year old game developer, I really want to congratulate you.
I love this great animation and the voise sounds like Optimus prime amazing five stars in every category
The cutscenes are cool.
The gameplay is lacking in mechanics to keep things interesting. I wish there was something more than a down-to-the-wire timer to make gameplay difficult. You can't even get to the end faster with good technique, because so long as you hold forwards and don't hit a wall, the player moves at the same speed, so it feels like the game is trying to punish you for imperfection, which I do not enjoy.
I like the player sprite a lot, but even a single frame for being mid-air would be a major improvement over continuing the walk cycle, maybe even one for when moving up and another for moving down. The spike sprites should be a higher resolution to match the rest of the world.
Reminds me a bit of Happy Tree Friends and the kill animation got me! :D
the narrator low key got me hype af TIME. LOOP. and then the music kicks in heeellll yeah dude. level two was too hard for me, because i'm a filthy casual, but i really liked this games vibe and for a true narrator-of-loop-head this game is too good to be true
Somehow that rabbit looks so gross yet so good

Cool game! I loved how cutscenes are implemented. Nice job
Nice entry (: the countdown gives little room for error so you have to be fast and precise with your platforming making a good challenge
Kinda fun. I wouldn't say the speedrunning angle is nessecerily the most creative, but it's fun to play, is playable and has pretty cool levels (whichh I can't say for our game)
Thank you. And your game is good.
A solid little game — the constant deaths are frustrating in the best way, and as the countdown ticks down, your heart starts racing. Tense, thrilling, and totally worth it.
Thank you so much for playing my game.
This was fun! I like the 'death animation' lol.
Congrats on the jam entry! I was a big fan of the narration, it was really well voice acted. I thought level 2 was really good, and the timer was not too strict, with the right amount of challenge in the platforming. I really wish level 3 was shorter or broken up into more levels, getting 1 second away from the end clock and then having to restart was demoralizing. The pixel art on the bunny was very well animated, and I liked the interspliced cutscene/footage. It have the game a unique vibe I don't normally see. Good job!
