As a cat lover, how could I resist playing this game! Very creative thoughts. Fun and challenging puzzles solving! Love it!

An incredibly fun concept. I tried a similar theme for my jam project, but I love the way you integrated both player actions and level design into the loop. It's a blast to see the ghost images of past runs helping you and figuring out how to use them to boost your time. Good amount of polish, too. Fantastic job!

Nice game. Clever use of past lives

Submitted

I really like the art style and the character movement are really smooth. Good job!

Submitted

This is cool! For some reason I assumed you’d only have 1 looped version of yourself at a time, so it was a fun surprise when I was able to have multiple loops doing different things. Nicely done!

Submitted

Really good concept with great puzzles !

Submitted

lovely game!at first it seemed like a platformer speedrun, then I noticed the puzzles and what a nice surprise. great job on this!!
5/5! great art btw

Submitted

I really like the use of clones in this game! Not just shadows, they are useful sometimes :D - some died in the process tho

Submitted

Fun idea, I really like the animations too! Great job!

Submitted

The art is really pretty. It’s a shame the past selves get progressively more out of sync as the loops increase, I couldn’t play it till the end as it got really frustrating. But it’s really well-put together, well done!

It's a good game, but not perfect, with nice music and cool pixel art.  I like all your games, please keep creating them... ヽ(♡‿♡)ノ

Fun puzzle platformer game! I enjoyed it!!!

Good execution of the timeloop platformer thing. The fact that your present self can affect past actions too makes it better

Submitted

really didnt understand the shoot mechanic, there were targets but no way to shoot them... the rest of the game was really cool, I see lots of people went for a past lives type vibe (me included), you just did it really well.

Submitted

It was fun ! Concept is simple but well executed ! I think it lacks a bit of feedbacks like shakecam / camera movement

Submitted

beautiful art and gameplay. Nice job!

Submitted

Cute art, nice beats, simple platforming! Great work!

Submitted

Nice art style

clones are definitely not consistent, wasnt able to finish the game but the overall idea is great, not bad for a game made in 4 days (and solo, too)
