The idea and level design are amazing. It could use some more engaging colors and maybe some background music and sfx but otherwise I would love to play more. Really enjoyed myself.

really good

Great level design! And very creative concept that works really well! We had little bit of a similar idea, in that we also use past selves as help for a platformer.

cool! I'll check it out :]

If possible, can you please vote my game and leave a comment too?

Decent Small Puzzle Game =P

Looks like we both had similar ideas! The idea of using your own past selves as platforms goes beyond what I did though, it's really cool! Five seconds is just long enough for every level, but if you ever expanded on the game I could imagine speedrunning it and optimising times would be awesome. Very fun!

THIS NEEDS TO WIN! When i knew it was loop, i had the great idea to make a game literally like to yours. Buuuut i scrapped it and it became Staper Loop

great little puzzle game, just a solid little experience, reminded me of friv

fun game with some good timing challenges. Was a little frustrating to time it so that my stack of guys all moved together on one of the levels, and coordinating three guys could be difficult. However, I think the game overall was really solid. Good work!

Actual neat game, mechanic is easy to understand and level design is straightforward. The puzzle is very intuitive which is not too hard but fun to figure out, though some of the later jumps in the game are quite tight and quite punishing if you the jump by a hair :<. Some ambient sound or jump vfx could be neat as well

i played your game really liked the puzzles are smart 

and the crush thing makes you think more amazing work but some backgroung music would make it better 10/10

Submitted(+1)

I like the idea and it's honestly pretty fun, but some jumps are pretty tough, making the levels harder than they should be

Developer(+1)

Yeah, when I improve this to a full version I want to go more in the direction of solving puzzles than precise movement, and also nerf the spike hitbox. thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely loved it! It was lots of fun working out how to use the clones to work together. I actually created something with quite a similar concept (also with gamemaker) but it was really cool to see how you took it in a different direction

Submitted(+1)

Not too bad! The classic time loop with clones of yourself game, overall the controls felt responsive enough, just that perhaps for some jumps that required other boxes to jump was kinda tough due to the timing windows of the jump, also spikes are quite unforgiving since they cover the whole triangle, but still really nice little bite sized game! Difficulty curve is definitely exponential lol

Developer

yeah, the difficulty goes up fast, and I'll probably change the spike hitbox in a later version. thanks for the feedback!

very fun Idea! I was going for a similar one myself but the prototype was bad so I switched to my current game.

Submitted(+1)

Fun game!  I like the gimmick a lot, but I lost the plot a bit once there were three clones.

Submitted(+1)

I really like the idea of the game and the game looks good

Submitted(+1)

it was fun to figure out how to use the cloens to beat the level but their was quite a bit of trial and error involved
