this is insanely imaginative. i'm absolutely in love with this concept and think you need to make something similar as a full game. jaw is literally on the floor this is so good. love how the music beats play into it too, all feels so well thought out!

Developer

Damn thank you so much Sass, this is very encouraging and validating! Appreciated.

At first I thought I had to make a burger against the clock.
Then I cloned myself.
Then after a few attempts I made a first burger.
Then there was a second lvl.
Then a third.
Etc !!
Love it !!!

Developer

Ahah great feedback, thank you! :)

One of the coolest games I've seen in this jam.

There's a natural 'ah ha' moment when you first see your past self going to grab the ingredients that's really fun to experience.

I don't know if it was an intentional design choice to only let the character move in the cardinal directions and not on the diagonals, but it does feel a little unintuitive.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one - excellent use of the limitation.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for your comment! 

Yeah the lack of diagonals was just me implementing the directions super fast, I agree it should be added!

Really cool song! Very funk

Developer

I shared your feedback with the musician thank you!

really cool idea, i like the use of limitation  and I appreciate the moment when another ghost appears coincides with the rhythm of the song.

Nice game!

Developer

Thank you for noticing 😁

Took me a second to really get it, but by the last few levels I ended up really liking the overall puzzle-loop and the concept you managed to implement, nice work! 

Developer

Thank you very much! :)

This was honestly really fun, I dont like a lot of puzzle games but there are a few that I do like, and this is definetely going into that list, I made the dumb mistake of looking in the comments before I completed the game so I had the 4th puzzle spoiled for me but thats just my fault :(  but I did have to check the comments to realize that the little ghost thingies actually mimic what you did before

Developer

Hey, thank you for your feedback, means a lot! I understand the mechanic should be properly introduced then! Best

Cool use of the limitation!

Developer

Thank you kind person!

Concept is nice! Music is funky in a cool way! I like the idea. I think adding a restart button would be a nice idea. As usual, I’m not really into puzzle games, but I find this one cool. But I’m stuck here. I think about the idea of optimizing movement for every character but still don’t get the right way to do that. But overall, I like it!

Developer(+1)

Hey thanks that's really great feedback!
Ok yeah on this screen, since it's too long to do a round-trip around the columns with each ingredient, you have to put the ingredients on the table in the middle of the screen. Then the next player can grab them directly and compose the burger.
Totally agreeing about the need for level reset button!
Best

Submitted

Thanks! Now I want to replay the game to see what’s next. Great idea btw with that level

The game is very unusual and interesting! I liked it! The pause menu and simple sound settings are missing (sorry if they were, but I didn't notice. then let me know about it)

Developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback! I don't usually hear about the need for sound settings in a game jam game, was the music too loud maybe? Best

Submitted(+1)

I finished the game and really enjoyed it. The puzzles are challenging in just the right way, and I found the concept very interesting.

I think it would be nice to add a button to reset the level. When you make a mistake with the first character's movement, you have to wait for all the others before trying again.

Developer

Thank you for your kind feedback!

Totally agree on the level reset button, I had to deprioritize it but it could have made an important gameplay improvement.

Concept is really cool, and there is a lot of levels for three days. Style and music are also great

Developer

Thank you, much appreciated! 

Submitted

Cool concept! I really liked how it turned into a puzzle game along the way and that it already got challenging from the second level! I couldn't beat the third level because I didn't know how to get over the bridge as it kept disappearing when I walked on it T_T But really fun submission and I like that you can see your past selves instead of just being respawned.

Developer(+1)

Oh thanks for your feedback! I understand that the ghost mechanic should maybe have been made more explicit: your past selves still activate switches that turn the bridges on and off! So the goal is to calculate your trajectory in a way that will both enable your future selves to cross the bridges, as well as collect the ingredients. 
Appreciate your comment!

Ohhh that is so cool!!!!!! I'm going to try it out again to see if I can figure it out :D
