Great job! Had a chuckle when playing this. I felt like visual studio was trolling me. Also, i kept seeing LOL on screen because there were only O's and L's

I think I broke a loop :)

The game looks nice. I like it! Nice take on a theme, too :)

Very nice game :) had fun playing it... The interpretation of "stuck in a loop" was pretty cool and as you said "all programmers will love that" .. i'm a bit sad it only had a hand full of levels - but overall nice job :heart:

Very fun interpretation of the theme! I knew someone would find a fun way to make a game about programming loops.
All the details came together and made me feel like I was stuck in some code!

I also corner glitched but it's alright! You did so many things right, a glitch is totally forgivable! Well done ^^ Loved the idea and execution was also very good! Loved the screen shake, the amount was just right.

While true ... what a briliant idea. Infinite loops, oh we've all been there!

Superb effort. Would love to see more. Great job.

I have a soft spot for ASCII games, and games about programmation. So I am clearly the right audience for that game ahah. I enjoyed playing it, it's a nice little game with a few nice interactions. I'd love to see a longer game like that! The collision with the bomb is a bit weird, and the sound design hurt my ears a bit, but overall, I enjoyed it. Great job!

Wow cool. It really fits the theme.Simple and clear enough to understand what you want to show the player. Compared to my game, I should learn from you.

Really creative game! Had fun playing it on stream! I think some things were ambiguous at the start, but I instantly learned once I blew up the first time... Great game!

pffhehe, nice! concept is super funny i gotta say -- a little rough around the edges perhaps with some letters cut off or differently sized, and the sprites being in white boxes without transparency which causes them to cover up nearby letters, but all in all great job participating in the jam!
