I've seen this idea a few times this jam but never so polished as it was here. The animations and art are great but the time bending effect was the chef's kiss. Really great stuff!

really cool idea, polished game, i like the animation, maybe you could create a seemless transition without "Restart"

Time WipersSuper cool game, well done. Loved the animations and the character design. Music catchy as hell and level design was smart! Very impressive for a game jam, genuinely well executed

SIDE EFFECTSI can't get past the first door, even when it is open. Shame, because clearly a lot of work went into this. (that or you did a Robocop on the Commodore 64 and made it impossible to progress because you hadn't finished the game. Yeah they did do that.)

Behind BarsSorry about that! We'll hopefully get it fixed soon in a future update.
In the meantime a workaround solution is to turn your monitors refresh rate down. To do this:
Navigate to your pc's display settings menu
Find where it says refresh rate (might be in advanced options)
Lower it (lower than 60Hz should do it) and press keep changes
Remember to change it back after your done playing!
Hope this helps and thank you for your feedback :)
woah, really cool idea, neat that each loop has to start on different levels

Great visuals!
The gameplay idea is really creative and fits the theme perfectly!
The clone mechanic is interesting, though I found myself sometimes dying unexpectedly from my own clones - maybe there could be a way to make those interactions more predictable?

Traffic Lights ManagerGood work, reminds me of some games, but here it is interesting to work with yourself in a team

infinity prisonFun take on the "time clones" mechanic. I did the first ~5 levels. Has the standard issues for the mechanic of long and fiddly execution times for each puzzle even when you've figured out the solution, but still enjoyable. Art is nice.
On the second level I made the mistake of thinking the bonus coin was a key to open the exit door, and spent a long time trying to get it in vain, constantly screwing up the setup of the 3-high clone stack, until I randomly stumbled into the exit door and discovered it was unlocked.
