Thanks so much for the detailed review!
Yes, the loop was the ending. And level design could use much improvement since it was rushed during the last day of the jam. It is something I will definitely focus more on in future games.
Yay! I finished the game :)
That was my only doubt haha
Oh, also, I forgot to say, once you finish the game and loop the game, there is bug with the checkpoints, I fall into the abyss in some point and the game teleported me into the last checkpoint of the game, like the checkpoints stay active after the loop making you skipping parts of the game.
Good luck and keep learning! :D
