Great attention to detail - loved the little story and screen transitions! Enjoyed the fact that unlike our game, your actions aren't set in stone and you can change history after the fact. Recording your actions post-mortem is a fascinating idea too. Overall a fantastic puzzle game!

Loved the balanced difficulty, each level takes it's share of thuoghtfullness to beat. Original music makes it even more special! Go for it, you have the gist for this kind of games.

I kept wanting to switch between characters part way through, but once I wrapped my brain around how the mechanic worked I found it quite clever.  I really liked that you had the character switch be numbers 1 and 5, instead of two numbers right next to each other, so it was less likely to accidentally switch to the wrong character.

Thank you for playing and reviewing! We decided to go for the 1 and 5 because in our playtests both us developers and some other folks were constantly misspressing the wrong key and "erasing" the whole loop they just worked for instead of switching characters, causing more frustration than needed. 😅

I love the art style and the gameplay is really fun!

I’ve seen your game on stream.

Was a bit hard to understand the main mechanic at first, but it’s very clever. Level progression feels nice. A good take on idea of helping yourself in the past.

And I like the music you made for the game.

Loop structure is well thought out.

I had a blast doing all the levels, really good use of the theme!

From all "here some dudes, control em one by one" games this is one of my favourites. It very easy to redo little fuck up without wiping all the progress i got, unlike in other games

Submitted

up there as one of my favourites for sure! love everything about it!

If you don't mind, please consider rating my game as well :)

Clever idea! Like a singleplayer co-op game

Submitted

It has some good puzzles and it was easy to get into, which is something very important. Well done!

Submitted

Really cool idea to have a a single player co-op! I sometimes struggled with guards being faster or slower on different levels, but overall this was a fun challenge!

Submitted

Probably my favorite game yet! 

I really liked the looping thing but instead of one player doing loops its two people :D

You made very good puzzles and a lot of content, it felt polished.

Nice boss fight!

I enjoyed this a lot.

The visuals look great, the characters on this small pixel scale are very impressive and I really like the loading animation.

Also it took me some time to figure out, but I think it’s really cool that you can move your ghost, not only to explore, but also to move the player to the goal, for example when you know that that player won’t die next run.

Good job!

Awesome game! Increadibly enjoyable and fresh. 
It really does feel like two brothers cooperating to escape (I especially loved the level where you have to distract a guard).
One idea I had while playing was that it would be cool to have some sort of signal button which will make current playable character play some signal or even a countdown which will also be visible on the replay. It can help synchonising actions between two characters and can also add to the flavor in my opinion.

Gameplay was easy to understand, puzzles were fun, kudos to you!

Really great game, with a super smooth loop mechanic!

Developer

Thank you =)

Submitted

Super fun mechanic, a great take on the theme. 

I really like the music, adds a lot of playfullness. I would just tone down the SFX, it gets a bit loud sometimes :)

Developer
