That final level took quite a few attempts but the final boss was pretty cool to make up for it :D
Really great execution! The only issue is that even in the standalone build, your past selves don't always repeat what you did perfectly. Besides that, you even had time for a boss fight at the end! Congrats
I am trapped in a loop of time in the dungeon
Really cool game, I like how the actions you do don't always replay exactly how you think in your head, makes it far more chaotic than other games with the same concept, plus the funny cats are cute!
This is the best interpretation of the theme of the gamejam so far. It can be a little buggy sometime regarding the AI, because they do things I did not do in a loop. Again. Solid game and good job.
honestly the random inaccuracy of the past clones had me laughing so much, I know it's not intended but I LOVED how hilariously chaotic everything felt! it was like playing with other actual people that may or may not have any clue what they're doing. I think that'd make for a funny concept on its own
It's so good and polished, like it!
Really good concept and very fun! One of the best I've played so far!
Really interesting gameplay! I love that the old loops interact with the environment and can help you through the level. Really cool art and creative concept!
I love this game!
Incredible game! Despite there being a slight issue where movement near the start of the loop it can be inconsistent (which I just stood still for half a sec to ignore) It had so much fun with the puzzles. And you incorporated a great final challenge which took more thinking than I thought it work. Amazing work!
Cool idea and some nice puzzle designs, unfortunately let down by non-deterministic playback of the clones. We did something similar in our game and ensuring determinism is tricky! Would recommend using a fixed frame rate and recording and applying state at the same point (and in the same order per object) each frame.
Great Artwork!
I would love your rating to my game!
wow the artstyle is so smooth, love the puzzles, cool game!
Really cool concept and nice presentation! Good job!
Very nice concept and fun gameplay! Great job!
Perfect art and sound design.The concept of working with past versions of yourself to push forward toward the goal is brilliant! Bravo!
Cool game! Can get pretty challenging to figure out how to coordinate your loops to get them to work together with the limited time (definitely had a lot of cases where I just barely missed the time cutoff right before the checkpoint), but I thought it was executed well!
I played this on stream (video here) if you’re interested in watching a playthrough of your game.
cool concept, i think loops with your past self is a very popular idea so congrats for making it work so well. I think there can be some improvements in terms of the instructions because the game is too past paced for thinking. Overall very clever and cooll!
simple concept but very well executed! great art too
nice job!
