A really clever and polished entry! Love the aesthetic, and all the visual effects really add to the vibe. Great interpretation of the theme too - I found it really difficult! Gorgeous little sprite too. Well done 👻

Ohhhh, this is very similar to what we did too, so I was able to pick things up pretty quickly. The art is done really well here! Nice work, very cool to see how you guys implemented the looping mechanism

I love the vibes and atmosphere! The puzzles are good but i had trouble with having to be very precise with the movement or else I would get caught on the walls.

nice concept!

The game is really tricky, and I feel like you don't have a lot of leeadway.

Nontheless, I have seen a lot of games that try to implement the concept of timeloop, and I feel like this one has the best implementation so far.
Great job !

This was really tricky, I felt like I was short by a slither of a second so many times! Either way I enjoyed the theme, the audio works really well and the little animations to the ghost moving are such a nice touch. A really good of example of taking a simple concept and making it shine. Great stuff!

Really fun little puzzle game using the loop theme well! The time limit is a little brutal tho and you throw the player in the deep end pretty fast. Otherwise, nice stuff.

Great puzzle game, with a charming artstyle

This was a really cool concept for a puzzle game, I liked it a lot! I got a bit confused with the behaviour you see in level 4 where the paper extends time for one movement but the others are short and loop within the longer turn - I think having them stay still at the end instead would make more sense, but the entire thing was very cool and very impressive

Very creative concept, similar to the echoes in my own. The puzzle design was great!

A lovely game! Narrative, graphics and music all work great together. A tricky puzzle game!

The music got me, was playing for quite a bit, the difficulty curve felt nice!

Just wish I could play with WASD since E and R would be a 1 hand control :D

Overall enjoyed the experience!
