How does your game fit the theme?
The Game seems impossible at first leading to many deaths which reset you to the beginning, which makes it feel like a loop. You can create your own loops as well by rewinding your past actions through echoes.

That's a tough game, but I love the challenge :) For many other games there is the case, that the difficulty comes from a bad game design, those are rather frustrating than challenging. But your game is challenging on purpose and obstacles design is really clever. It might not be easily accessible to many people, but I don't think every game should target the most casual players.

I can totally see how people would try to beat this game on stream or on the recording with overly dramatic title like "This game broke me!", but it would be a badge of honor to beat the game. High risk - high reward!

Thank you so much for trying it out and for your feedback. What you mentioned is exactly what I was trying to achieve (although I might have underestimated the difficulty myself) :)

This little game is very fun, I like the idea of the loop you have to create to help yourself. Its a little bit hard though, I died meany times.

Thank you for playing!  I know it's difficult, but that repeating loop is the point :)

I really like the idea of having an "Echo" as yourself as a partner! 

Huge Respect for programming this, because i tried something similar once and it took me ages!!


The Game is overall really enjoyable and fun to play.  If you understand the logic its real fun!
