This mechanic and game would be great to expand further! Would love to see what other levels or mechanics you could aim for. Some polish/balance would defiantly help, but the screen shake and sound effects showed that it is in the right direction :)

How does your game fit the theme?
The game is built entirely around time loop mechanics. You record actions and play alongside your past selves ("loop clones") to solve puzzles. Each loop helps you progress further — timing, syncing, and thinking in loops is key to success.

A cool idea with using your previous bod in a time loop. For me the player's physics and big slam/screenshake on impact was a bit distracting. Would be interesting to see with a bit more time on the level design and character control feel how it would shake out! Creative and makes ya think.
I like the idea but like some of the previous comments, I did struggle with the second level. With some polish and better level design, I believe this could be a very enjoyable game. 🌝
I like the concept and I think this has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, I had to come back to the comments to figure out the fake wall. Putting it at the beginning of the second level with no visual indicator is a poor choice. I also wasn't a fan of the camera movement. It was too shaky and left me feeling a bit nauseated so I had to quit after the third level. Still, I think with a bit of polish and play testing, this could be a really fun game.
Very cool concept - not a fan of the fake wall spent quite some time trying to find where it is above the sign, next to it at the end - didnt find it. Maybe its my bad :( Tired as I'm making this comment.
I'm sorry it's not very clear!
You can go in the left wall. You have to stack your loops to build a ladder, climb up, and then jump to the right to reach the portal. It should be a secret way but in the next update i will make it more clear In the description theres also a Tip for this Level.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! 🫶
Love the thud, particles and camera shake when you land on the ground! I like that the red shadow skips directly to the end, nice spin on a classic concept. With some clearer level design this could be even better.
The music is clearly composed to loop, but there is a tiny bit of silence between loops. If you use mp3 files there will be a tiny bit of silence at the very start, which can lead to these small skips. ogg's are great for looping, and very space efficient.
Good concept! I would just polish the level design a bit, because there's no indication that you can go into the wall, but it was fun

Really cute game... but the first level didnt need a "secret wall". I like the movement a lot. Good Game!
nice cute and sweet, i liked it the puzzles were smart and they were increasingly becoming difficult, good job my friend
I got over the wall and through the first portal but then I spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out the second one... I could never get it... But the game looks pretty and the character feels really nice to control! I love the particle effects on movement. Nice work!

It's a cool concept. Unfortunately for the life of me I can't get past that first level even with the instructions. Sorry.
I think you needed a bit more playtesting, since the game is good, but level one is too hard.
