Loop Protocol
Two minutes. Four survivors. Get everyone out alive — or get looped back until you do.
Enter The Arc: A submarine research center that’s been immersed in deep, intergalactic seaspace for several years discovering and documenting new species. All is well on this peaceful science expedition until a portview rupture kills your captain — but not before he can initiate the Leave Oceanic Orbit Precautionary (“LOOP”) Protocol, a failsafe designed to give the remaining crew more than one chance to survive a catastrophe.
Play as the last four survivors to stabilize the failing research center and prepare escape pods for your emergency exit — all before the LOOP Protocol resets and sends you back in time to retry those crucial two minutes.

Music helped add to the stress level! Really fun concept and design! Good job completing this in such a short amount of time. :)
I managed to solve it on my second or third loop. Very quick, feels stressful but probably isn't as stressful as I think. I enjoyed it, and would definitely play more. Love the concept, especially with different aspects of each area affecting other areas like power or locks
Very cool! Got soo confused at first but got it after like 5 loops. Great music!!
took me maybe 15 loops, impressed that this game was simple, fun, and made in 3 days. I love the art and designs of this. Pretty creative way of playing. I see myself playing this in high school when free games were all I could access on the school computer.
Design structure is SO so tight, I'm so impressed that this was made in a game jam!! Good job everyone \o/

awesome art and story, and the looping concept was used in a really cool way to make a fun little puzzle, good job to everyone on your team!
