How does your game fit the theme?
This game explores "Loop" through a time-rewind mechanic where each use of the hourglass creates a temporal loop — replaying the player’s past actions as a clone. Players must work alongside these looped versions of themselves to solve puzzles, creating layers of cause and effect across time. The narrative also embraces the theme: in the final level, the player loops all the way back to the start of the game, confronting their own past in a self-made paradox. Both gameplay and story are built around repeating actions, collaborating with previous selves, and ultimately breaking the loop to escape it.

Fun puzzles in this game.  I liked the timeloop mechanic but wish it was a little quicker going back in time.  The music made this feel very atmospheric. Great work

Fun to figure out! Great pairing of assets to fit the medieval type vibe. Maybe I was doing it wrong but the timing on level 4 was TIGHT, I finished with 0.15 seconds left lol. But it was all worth it for that ending, genuinely surprised me for how cool it was. Great job!

Really clever idea for a puzzle game! I do wish that the rewinding portion was sped up, but the mechanic is super solid.

The puzzles feel super unique, but the movement felt a bit slow  but overall I had a good time playing.

The presentation is really nice and the puzzles and concept are fine. I do wish that there was more in trems of audio, but it was still enjoyable.

Good job.

It took me a moment to figure out how to use my clone, but once I got that going, I really enjoyed the game. The last puzzle in particular was nicely made and felt like an overall good progression between the different levels.

Good job!

The game looks very pretty! I also really like the twist how your clone goes back in time while you stay where you are. Only point I can give you is that moving feels a bit sluggish, increasing the walking speed would do wonders I think!

This is such a cool game! I cannot for the life of me do the last 2 puzzles plz help T_T
But other than this is a rlly cool game and u shd totally try and make it a full scale game

I really like this one! It gives a good Sands of Time kinda rewind, but it's like what if Dastan had a time echo power.
The music is good, albeit repetitive, and there's a lack of sound effects. But the art direction is good, and the rewind is well done

Very enjoyable game, great puzzles and many ways to solve them. The only thing that really bugged me was that you have to wait for your rewound self to walk allllllllllllllll the way back in real time. I also wish there were more levels but there is a time limit after all lol, great work :)
