Good implementation of the theme and concept. Some of the levels were quite clever in such a short of time to implement.

After playing 5 other game with similar ideas like this in this jam. You notice how much non playing/dead time gets implemented. Waiting for your own ghost and then accident killing the last loop/iteration step and have to do it all over again gets pretty tedious

Lets say these type of games are meant for the patient people(not me) that can stand on that button for 5-10 seconds to be sure you can get trough that door.

This was a pretty fun game to play and I liked the puzzles in it! I enjoyed it enough that I tried this level for about 15 minutes and still couldn't figure it out. Any hints would be appreciated! It is interesting to see this game as it's a fairly similar concept to mine but slightly different as they all are

Developer

ill give you a pretty solid hint. hitting both pressure plates in the same life will cause you to get trapped. thanks for reaching out. hopefully you can get passed!

Fun gameplay loop and puzzles. Quite enjoyed the levels. Great work!

Simple but nice game! Just a little weird with the art being all different styles, but nothing terrible

Submitted

You've got some solid puzzles! It could use some polish, but the core gameplay is there. Good job!

Is it a bit janky? Yes. Did I enjoy my time? Also yes. This was a great example of how gameplay can really carry a game even when audio and art isn't quite there. A little more time in the oven and this could be something really juicy :)

Interesting puzzles! I also did a clone with going back on time game idea, but our's with 2 different characters instead of a ghost of yourself.

Interesting idea :)

great concept and execution, level design was stellar and required me to get some help to solve a few of the tricky puzzles - nice work!

Missing some SFX and impact VFXs but the idea is great, also nice daddy character design :)

Nice Idea and really nice puzzle design! Just a few SFX here or there would make this an even more enjoyable game, had a great time playing :D

Similar idea to mine! Pretty cool to see some other takes on the concept! Really like the puzzles!

Fun game! Several puzzles I had to stop and think about - but they never got overwhelming.

Developer

Well hopefully it wasn't too hard. Were you able to beat all of them?

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, the puzzles were well-balanced and I was able to solve all of them!

Fun idea and cool puzzles! I think my biggest gripes are that in order for the gameplay to work it requires a lot of just standing in one place for a long time... also, if I ever missed a platform I would have to do the puzzle all over again and stand still for that much longer. Loved the sprite for the player!!!

Nice game. I really like these sort of puzzle games. One thing you could improve is inconsistent art style (saturated red boxes next to quality pixel art).

Good job!

HELLO!!! Awesome that we had the same idea! I love the way these puzzles scratch my brain and make me think. One thing that would be nice is to add some control explanations about how the mechanic works at the start. Otherwise, nice work here :0
