Really love the art style - pixel art always has a special charm! The mechanics could use a bit of refinement, as I noticed the little ones sometimes get stuck, but overall, it’s an enjoyable experience.
That said, I’m not sure if the game fully fits the theme 100%. Since it’s level-based, I wondered: Does that mean every level-based game fits the theme 'breaking the loop'? It feels like something is missing to really tie it into the theme.
Still, the concept is really nice, and I hope you continue working on it! Looking forward to seeing where you take it next!
