The acapella was just incredible, and I love the hand-drawn art too! Managed to get myself soft-locked when I rotated to the next screen, but the player stayed within the bounds of the previous screen. For some reason I couldn't get back on screen. Anyways, replaying it was worth it for the ending!

Hey! Can't run it on Windows, says the Data folder is not found. Sad Times :(

FIX FOR DATA FOLDER PROBLEM : I had to rename the exe myself, your exe is called StuckOnLoop.exe and it needs to be renamed to LDJam47.exe

bahaha this game is great, I loved it. Great sound and graphics

Could play it by renaming the Data folder :)
Lovely music and effects, and nice visuals!

The art style was nice, and the sound was on a whole 'nother level. It was a cute little game and I enjoyed it.
As @griddolini mentioned, many players are having an issue because you renamed the .exe to something it wasn't expecting. In the future, to change the executables name in Unity, go to edit/project settings/player/product name

I really liked the overall vibe and the hand drawn style really fit the music.

@lectvs If you keep going to the right, you eventually loop back around. That was this games implementation of the theme.

Had to rename the data folder on Windows to get it working, but figured it out. Might want to upload a fix.

Cute little game. There were a few times when I was unsure what to do but I ended up figuring it out and getting off the planet. The music was nice but did get a little repetitive.

AMAZING art style, music was fun as can be, veryyyyy good use of the concept. Really liked the playfulness in the sound design and overall very fun!

Fun game. I managed to collect all the pieces and had a great time exploring. Great use of very simple assets and very on theme IMO. Your game has definitely been the most "complete" one I have played. Great job!

The style is super awesome! It's so casual yet looks so cool. The fact that the sound effects are all human made makes it like one of those doom 1 mods but just in a very laid back way. It all fits together super nicely and I honestly loved it!

This was really endearing, I played all the way through.

Like others have noted, the visual style is pretty awesome. I thought the music would wear on me but enjoyed it the whole way through.

I think good use of few mechanics here to make puzzles interesting.

I do wish I could have moved backwards (leftward) in the world. I can see how only going one direction added to the theme but it would still have felt loopy enough for me if I were able to go back and meant I felt more comfortable exploring puzzles in a different order.

Overall, great jam!

Woooooooooooooooooooooow!
Hands down, these are the best sounds this ld!
The visuals are very cute and polished. Making a game look like a kid drawing is harder to do than some might think. Everything has to be simplistic, but not too much. Cute, but not overly detailed and you hit it just in the right spot. The three main components of the game are awesome!
The only critical thing I can say... I mean it's not really a criticism, more of a suggestion. Please next time focus just a bit more on a ld thumbnail, because browsing through many, many games makes you sometimes judge the game by its cover or rather you look at a cover and think: "Do I want to check out this game?" and your cover could be a bit more appealing as well as a general game page on ldjam. I'm only saying it because seriously, for me, this is one of the best games this ld and I almost missed it.
Anyway, thank you so much for such an amazing entry and sorry for a long comment :)

Very neat complete game, loved the art and music, or should I say voice acting? Had fun exploring and doing the puzzle, and was surprised that the completed space ship became a flying robot, nice touch. Great game!

Really creative entry! Loved the art style and sound. The puzzles were really well put together and I liked how some of them fit together in an almost domino effect. Nice work!
