Neat game, I do have some criticism about certain aspects:
1 - The theme: I think you interpreted the theme of "LOOP" in the fact that you need to loop to effectively kill the enemies which works, sometimes... I do feel like it's a somewhat weak approach to the theme, wishing here there was more tied to "LOOP"
2 - The Itch Page: I can't read and write, I think the BG and FG colors are way too similar
The music and sound effects are an absolute banger! Like holy, the moment I hear the first note, I feel like an rpg hero. The Arts really fits the game as well.
However, there are a few things I want to point out.
1/ Lack of Polish:
a/ The Character: The simplier the mechanic, the more polished it needs to be to balance it out. Make the character sways when moved, create particles, add shader, add screenshakes, explosions, etc.. Pull all punches to make the character sastisfying to control.
b/ The Enemy: There are also a lack of visual cues on the enemy. What are their targets, which direction they are moving? How fast are they moving?
You can telegraph all of this by adding the correct amount of animation, particles and effects.
Also, add explosion or something when the two character explode. That is also a good start
c/ The Environment: Make it clear that the character can't touch the border by coloring it redder, or make it looks pointy. Again. Polish
Actually fun fact for c/, the border you actually can touch, just it's a lot less safe, so that's why I didn't make it spikey, also yeah the polish was just due to the lack of time I had for my game (48 hours), and the lack of enemy polish never really felt that noticeable to me but definitely does make sense. But hopefully you had a lot fun, and enjoyed it a ton!
Fun and cute lil game that seems very clean! It's good as it is, but if I'd add or change something, I'd probably double the score each time you make the enemies destroy themselves (its nice to see numbers go big!). Adding maybe one skill with cooldown or loads on having enemies kill would be a nice addition as well.
Yeah, the score was actually originally planning to go up a bit higher, but I felt like it didn't look as clean honestly. And I was also planning on adding some more enemy variation, but only having 2 days caused a slight scope limit, but glad you enjoyed it, trying to place highly on enjoyability!

Yoo, this game has a creative idea and is really polished, good work!
very fun and addictive game. one thing i did find frustrating was dying to enemies that just spawned tho, but i really like its fast paced nature

Otherwise good music and graphics, nice stuff!
Good luck!
Thank you! It's the same colours as in the game, but I wasn't able to put enough emphasis on them, planning on changing the page though shortly
A very fun game to master its mechanic!

Overall, it is a pretty unique experience. 6/10
