Break the Loop

This is a game about trying to escape from a cursed forest, where your life drains as you move. With each death, you can buy upgrades and unlock more time/skills, before being reset back to the start.

This is was game built for the 2025 Game Maker's Toolkit Game Jam. The theme was "Loop".

The game also partially works with a controller, but you'll have to use the mouse during the menus...
