One Axe. One Loop. Infinite Carnage.

Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2025 — Theme: "Loop"
Use a single, lethal boomerang axe to wipe out enemies and complete the perfect loop.

What is Loop Axe?

Loop Axe is a fast-paced, skill-shot action puzzle game where you control a brutal boomerang axe that must slice through enemies and return to you to complete a perfect loop.

Each level gives you one shot — one throw — to wipe out all enemies and return your axe safely. Miss a target or fail to catch it?
Loop broken. Try again.

Designed to be satisfying, snappy, and polished — this game combines:

•  Skill-based trick shots

•  Visually juicy loops

•  Tight level-based design

•  Light puzzle elements

•  Punchy sounds and crisp animations

Core Gameplay

• Throw your Boomerang Axe with precision.

• Bounce it off walls, curve it through tight paths, and eliminate every enemy.

• But there’s a catch: the axe must loop back to you to win.

• You’ve got limited throws — so make them count.

Features

• 7 handcrafted puzzle-combat levels

• Satisfying axe throw & return system

• Ragdoll enemies and juicy screen shake

• Minimal, polished UI & UX

• Cinematic camera and ambient FX

• Quick restarts for smooth jam play

• Styled in low-poly goodness 

Made for GMTK Game Jam 2025

Theme Interpretation: “Loop”
The core mechanic is built around completing a literal and mechanical loop:

Throw the axe → kill enemies → return the axe → loop complete
Miss the return?
Loop broken.

This game is a tribute to the elegance of tight, looped gameplay. One action. One reward. One failure point.
