About

Made for the GMTK 2025 game jam with the theme LOOP.

Started a day late due to work and will be finishing a day early because of prior commitments, so this might be a rush ;)

Our interpretation is a time loop, when triggered you and your past selves must work together to solve the obstacles ahead of you and escape. We picked an art style we've not done before, inspired by the Gameboy color in resolution, sprite sizes and colour palette.

My wife did the art and gameplay mechanic ideas.

Enjoy our first game jam entry.
