The visuals are great, and I really enjoy how it gives you just one replay per retry, makes for some really interesting puzzles, simple but not trivial. Great job!

One of my favorite entries.  Utilizes the mechanic really well in the level design

A very nice puzzle platformer. I had to really think about how to go about some of the rooms.. And I really like the art.

Good job!

Always wanted to make a clone system but I struggled a lot HOW DO YOU MAKE IT WORK GENUINELY 😭. Amazing game had so much fun <3

Developer

thanks so much for the feedback! my approach to make the clone system was actually pretty simple,  i created a list that stores an array for each frame, and that array holds all the player’s movement data, like the current sprite, animation frame, position, scale, etc. the clone just reads that list back frame by frame and mimics everything.

Woah I bet u can even hold interaction data as well. Ty for explaining lol love ur game as well <3

Nice look, good game. I enjoyed the puzzles and also I really enjoyed the fast retry and many checkpoints! Can't stress this enough how much more accessible this makes the game. Also.... the poor blob sprite when it dies... makes me a bit sad! I want the blob to be happy ;)

FODA!

probably the best take on those mechanics in the jam

i wish i had a instakill button to reset the cycles instead of waiting the 15 seconds tho
a lot of clever puzzles, my only problem is that i had to trust my past self and i know that guy is full of shit

I've seen quite a few games with similar mechanics, but this one is the most fun.

The more refined puzzle makes it special, I guess.

Awesome game! The puzzles were really well designed and the difficulty was just right! The short lifespan makes it fun to try and get the timing right to allow you to progress while also remaining under the time limit/being quick! The visuals are pleasing and help make it clear what youre supposed to do! Nice job!!

Really elegant puzzle design coming out of a pretty simple concept. The timer actually is a very nice addition, it makes it alot easier to actually do the solution once you figure it out.
