I got stuck at level 4, my small brain cannot handle puzzle platformers. I really like that you get to decide which clones have collisions and which do not, haven't seen that idea yet.

Cool game! Reminded me of Super Meat Boy!

I'd be glad if you also play my game and rate it.

I like the fact that you can sometimes interact with your former self and not other times, it's a good twist on this kind of replaying loop theme. Nice job!

Very fun game! It's not too original but I love the fact that you can interact with some but not all! I accidentally got myself stuck bc I added too many framed guys lol

Love this concept!!  I've always wondered how to make "interact with your past self" meaningful in a time loop game, I think it's very clever to intentionally give yourself interactivity across loops with the frame.  Very very cool!

Solid take on the theme

I found a bug on level 4. It sometimes completely resets the level when you get crushed by the wooden gate when the time ends and sometimes the gates completly break when you do. Aside from that the game is enjoyable and puzzles are a nicely done, not too hard and not too easy

Nice game! I like the concept and puzzles.

I think it's pretty brave to give the "echoes" collision in the way you did, and honestly, it worked out! It gave a unique flavor to the puzzles that non-tangible echoes couldn't have - even if they do become prone to desyncing sometimes.

And edit: I beat level 5 :P

i can't appreciate you enough. thx!!

Great idea with the looping mechanic, having to use your past selves to get through the level, the only issue is the way they interact with each other, it kinda breaks the physics a little bit and the recordings become desynched!

i get what you are talking about. if i had more time i might try to make them think and aim to get to their final position or something. i had actually only 2 days and a half so i'm satisfied enough. but again, thx a lot!
