Yeah I'm afraid there is no way to tell you youre looping, because all it does is move you up or down slightly while moving left and right, which due to how trajectories work means that bullets are drastically less likely to hit you. I suspected this might happen, but didn't have time to think of a good solution before the jam ended, I will probably follow up with a better tutorial and some necessary bugfixes after the rating period. Notes on the learning curve taken, though this is supposed to be a roguelike, so you are not expected to get far on your first run, but I guess expecting players to put in the time to actually get better was not a smart move for a game jam.
