How does your game fit the theme?
The game fits the "loop" theme because you can rewind time anytime, creating ghosts that replay your past moves. These ghosts help solve puzzles and escape with teamwork across loops.

This game was pretty fun to play! I was a bit confused though when my second loop during the second level never ended up reaching the location at which I had chosen to click "E", so I tried looping again.

The idea is definitely good and fits the theme well! Also, not sure if others had this problem, but pressing 'ESC' on my keyboard didn't allow me to exit the game. Maybe having a menu option for restarting or quitting game after dying?

By the way, would also love to hear your thoughts about my team's game!

Developer

the ghost probably ate your clone and esc and restart buttons wernt there, because i didnt had the time to implement them.

but thanks for playing

Submitted

Neat game. Retry button in the death menu would be pretty nice. And just maybe add everything in the zip to a folder, because now it was quite a zip bomb xd. 

Developer

i did try to do a retry button but there would be a lot of bugs after so i just removed it

but thanks for playing

Submitted

Took me a bit to find the play button LOL nice game, spooky ghosts :D

Developer

ohhhhhh

but thanks for playing

Liked the gameplay loop here! A more polished artstyle and some animations will definitely improve this game's experience a lot. But it's good for a game jam! I would love to hear your thoughts on my submission as well! :)

Developer

yes i think so too
but thanks for playing

The art on this game was great! The gameplay was good although collision with clones was annoying and there did not appear to be a respawn button when you die causing me to have to restart the game each time and I also on the third level kept dying for no apparent reason. The puzzle where good and so was the art. Overall, good job!

Developer(+1)

there was acctually a hidden path on the third level if you just kept going right in a circle.

but thanks for playing

I feel the levels were the right size, but the varying art style was a bit weird, the first one was cool and had w great atmosphere, but I fell like the others were  a bit too different.

With that in mind you still should be proud for a first game-jam game!

Developer

yes i actually tried to do different player for each map, but didnt had the time to, but thanks for playing

Submitted

I liked the art direction of this one. You're concept is really cool too. I do wish the previous versions of yourself didn't have colliders though, was annoying on occasion trying to squeeze past myself lol

Developer

yes

but thanks for playing

Submitted

Art assets were kinda out of place and player collisions felt not good. But the level themself are good and felt not repetitive as much.
Also, the font. So good. Sweet stuff

Developer

thank you

Submitted

This was a neat concept for the theme. It would be nice to have a way to remove a past self, or to loop without creating one, for when you are exploring. It can be tedious to wait for a past self that took a while to find the next interaction point, but some of the bottlenecks get to be a pain when too many past selves are there waiting. 

Developer

yes, i see what you are trying to say
but thanks for playing

Submitted

I really like your design ideas. Playing the game feels like there's a lot of potential to explore. The font design is very artistic, and the background music is really soothing to listen to. It's just that I don't know why I can't restart the game with a key press, so every time I have to close the game process and reopen it to start over, haha. Is this your first time completing a game jam? This is also my first time finishing one. Congratulations!

Developer

yes its my first time, i actually tried to put a restart button but it would always cause a problem

thanks for playing

Submitted

Fun lil puzzle game :3

Nice work hehe :3 congratulations on finishing a game!

Developer

thank you

Submitted

The art doesn't really match up with each other. The idea is quite creative.
The title screen (and death screen) is really cool as a graphic design screen, but the play button doesn't stand out from them. Audio is good, but nothing really impressive. I do enjoy the game, but I think the waiting time for our loops to push a button is a little long?
That's what I felt about your game, I hope you can improve this game further in the future

Developer

yes i get it, that was a flaw, but thanks for playing

Submitted

artstyle seemed a little bit disjointed? cool game though!

Submitted

really cool game love the spoopy vibes

Developer

thank you

Submitted

Nice concept! It was a bit hard at times to figure out what paths were blocked but it was a nice experience.

Congrats on finishing the jam!

Developer

yes i guess, but thanks for playing though

Submitted

Super cool concept, very creative. Having the enemy be able to eat your ghosts too was an interesting additional challenge.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Great concept, I thought that it was amazing that there were collisions between your ghosts, and it brought up some very interesting emergent behaviour, where I could see my duplicate get eaten by a ghost, and I would run away. That was a very cool emergent situation that came from the game mechanic. Very well implemented game mechanic. It would mean a lot if you could review my game. This is my first game jam.

Developer (1 edit)

My first jam too, I will definitely rate your game.
Btw, were you able to finish the game?

Submitted

I wasn't able to finish your game yet, but I am going to tomorrow! I took the afternoon to relax after grinding on my game. I hope you enjoy it!
