Made for GMTK Game Jam 2025, the Theme is Loop
Made with Puzzlescript Next
This is the first time I have made this type of puzzle, and to be honest, I am not sure how to control the experience it brings to the players. And unfortunately I only had 48 hours to make it, which included only ~10 hours of rest, so I didn't have enough time to make and test my levels, or even have other people test it. I'm not sure if there will be a major glitch, but I must rest now.
Anyway, have fun :)
The game contains more than 10 levels, and the ending is to escape from the dungeon.
This note was added because some players closed the game prematurely.

I'm still so stuck. I think I'm missing the 5th level. I've got just about everything else, but I'm just not sure what other entrance I could be missing.
I think I'm missing how to get to level 5. V xrrc guvaxvat gurer'f tbg gb or fbzr jnl gb trg gurer sebz gur frperg ebbz sbyybjvat sybbe 4, ohg V'z whfg abg frrvat vg. V guvax V'ir oebxra rirel ibvq fdhner V pna ybbxvat sbe na nygreangvir rkvg be jnl gb chfu gur obk sebz gur evtug fvqr.
A small hint (or at least confirmation that I'm looking at the right level to get there) would be super appreciated!

Keep exploring, you’re very close to the final.
If you need a hint: go to the level

I escaped the dungeon and loved it so much. V rira hfrq zl tevqqrq abgrobbx.
interesting
So where do you learn the new mechanic(to beat level 10/escape)?
You already know all the mechanics. Pay attention to something unusual.
Sorry I hv totally no idea after level 2, plz give me some hints
Someone told me there is a sequence from 0-1-2-0, but I still don't get it
You need to pay attention to somethings to figure out what happens when you enter the next room.

I don't get it at all. I know there is more to discover but I have no idea how to approach it. I saw a reddit post about this game but I have no idea how get further than the 3 levels.
To get further than this, some insight is needed :)
If you need some indirect hints (rot13):

Jung erznvaf pbafgnag jura tb sebz bar yriry gb nabgure?
I don't know why but I went to level 9 directly from level 0. I think I have found enough mechanics of the game to clear but I do not even know how to get to level 3.
Thank you for playing
If you don’t know how to get to level 3, it means you haven’t found the most important mechanic.
You need to understand how it works, and how to get to the different levels.
level 7 is killing me
I’m sorry for this, now there is a cheese in level 6, which will cause you to miss a new key mechanic.
You need to find a way to read the sign in level 6.
PS: I will adjust the levels of this part in the next version after the jam is unlocked update.
I had already read it! and used the mechanics at level 7. so the problem is that I cant solve level 7
Ok, I inserted a level before the original level 7 to make it easier to learn the new mechanics.
Cool, but did you escape the dungeon?
Oh, I thought that was it
Can you give a hint for ’The End” or it has nothing to do with that level?
Some indirect hints
Hint1: Jung fubhyq V qb? Naq ubj fubhyq V qb vg?
Hint2: Gurer ner znal pengrf urer, jung qb gurl ercerfrag?
Hint3: Jnyx guebhtu nyy gur ebbzf, naq bofreir jung lbh bireybbx.
Hint4: Pbagvahr rkcybevat gur qhatrba.
Genius idea! Is there 5 levels in total? After completing level 5, the game returns to level 3.
Keep going! you need to escape the dungeon.
level 5, my brain isn't big enough atm to keep going but I am *intrigued*
Actually, it is not difficult.
Hint1: Qb na “vzcbffvoyr” obk chfu
Hint2: Fyvqr gur sybbe gb zbir n obk gb gur evtug bs gur gnetrg
Hi! Could I get some help after level 5?

Your guess is correct, go for it.
If you still need some hint:
Jung fubhyq lbh qb svefg naq ynfg?
I was able to solve it! sometimes it just takes a fresh set of eyes to get it done. Your hint helped too thank you.
sadly... I am stuck on what I assume to be Level 6...
