Really cool game with some really challenging puzzles, think the flow and difficulty progression could be worked on but other than that great game and really nice character art <3

Submitted

it is a little hard when u have multiples of u

Pretty well designed puzzles. Kind of remind my of some of the puzzles from prince of Persia: the lost crown! Love the Boss battle.  Beat the game with only 268 deaths, piece of cake.

Submitted

A really solid idea, paired with great visuals

Submitted

Wow! That's really good. Well designed, and a very difficult final boss, plus nice character designs. My one complaint is that there are frequent desyncs with the loops, especially with certain types of movements, that can break the puzzles. Can be very frustrating especially on the last puzzle loop.

Ahhh!! The art is simple but so charming! I loved playing this

This was a lot of fun to play. I enjoyed seeing you introduce and develop new replay puzzle concepts over time.

Cooperating with my past selves was fun--even the "cooperation" with the dead past selves ;)

Hi. I liked your game. Very nice and creative.

Submitted

Nice game I had a lot of fun!

Submitted

I loved the art
Submitted

I had fun! You got the execution of this concept right!

Submitted

cute art, nice execution on the theme, and a really good game overall! Good stuff!

Submitted

Cool game ! I saw the "play with your past selves" concept quite a lot but the gameplay of your game is fast-paced which makes it very enjoyable. It's crazy to see how the same core concept can lead to very different games ! In our entry, you can choose the start and the end of the loop, so the puzzles feel really different !

Submitted

splash art is cool, keep this style buddy

Submitted

Really beautiful art style and the gameplay is also fun! It's just that the colours didn't really work well with my E-Ink monitor, but that's definitely a me problem haha

Submitted

Very nice implementation and execution of the theme requiring quite a bit of thoughtfulness to complete the puzzles. The different level elements which can but don't have to be used add another layer of interest. I got a little confused at first why boxes weren't moving but that was just because I ended up going against my past self pushing the other way. Great game!

Submitted

Very well executed ! I sadly had a lot of problem on the web export as my past selfs was bugging a lot. I'l ltry to finish the game with the download !

It would be cool to have stick controls, and I don't know I just end up restarting the loop with B a lot trying to push or else but it's probably just because i'm dumb :D
Good job !

Coming into this Jam, I knew this type of puzzle game was going to be everywhere. No one has done it as well as you! Well executed and well played. I love that you have the option of using crates or spawning another self to hold buttons for you.

Very creative and accessible.

CUTEE! Enjoyed the gameplay and watching all of the little me's scuttle around

And some super smart design things as well! Super cool work!

The graphics are stunning, well done! If you like, try Jumpimal, my casual jam entry :)
