The mechanics were really cool, the level design of the one where the button is introduced was exemplary however from there, the level design got too complicated.
Love the art style, mechanics are simple yet fun
Heyy, I saw you on Discord! The game mechanics are really great — I enjoyed them a lot. Only a few minor things could be improved, but those have already been mentioned in the comments. So all I can say is well done!
Really nice game. I like your sound-design!
Well done :D
Ain't that the eternal struggle, huh. Lmao it was a fun spin on the theme, it work quite well but there were a bit of imperfection in the collision platformers. Other than that good job!
I struggled at times a bit with the collision system and glitching in and out of my own corpse, but designing physics during a game jam is bound to lead to situations like that of course. I was really hoping to see some Sisyphus games in the jam and I was very happy to get to play as the boulder as an excellent twist! Great job :)
I like the art style a lot and I really like the creativity of each puzzle.
I've seen this concept a few times but it never gets old, the art style and sfx really sold it and the puzzles introduced complexity at just the right pace. Also, very nice lighting, I will certainly be inspired by this in my future work. Thank you and well done!
Like sisyphus i'm bound (specificaly on level 3)
Nice! Had some cool puzzles, and I thought the art style was really nice too. Some subtle background music and lighter sound SFX would take it up to the next level. Good entry!
Solid level design and beautiful visuals. Some puzzles were pretty tough to figure out, but still fun. Great job!
really cool puzzle game. Lovely art too lol!
This was a fun take on the theme! Using your past self as a platform/barrier was really smart. Apparently my brain isn’t big enough for this game though, because I got stuck on the first laser level. The art looks great, and I love the touches with the lighting. Also the main menu “waaaah”. Great job!
This was such a fun puzzle platformer! Great job!
feel very much like a game i would have played back in the windows XP era, killer job!
Nice concept, I got some retro PC platformers vibes
The level design is cool
That last level is a doozy but a fun puzzle to get through. Cool execution the mechanic! Good Job!
fun platformer
Nice concept and great execution. Visuals and game feel are spot on as well as level design.
I didn't struggle passing the levels but it did feel a bit punishing at times.
PS. Never would have imagined that this is a first time submission to a game jam, especially with an entry so polished and complete. Great job!
Ty, altough im inclined to say that me and my teammate are both 2nd year game design students, so we arent completely new to making games lol. But even then it was definetely a very fun first experience in a jam. Thanks for the support!
Really fun platformer, i enjoy thinking about my strategy for a level beforehand rather than trying to brute-force it, this game is perfect for that. I think it could be a little faster cause I often made small mistakes at the end that caused me to have to restart the whole level from the beginning xD
