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 :)

Thanks a lot! 
I'm really glad you liked the mechanic — I totally agree there's so much more potential to build on it!
I’ve already got some wild ideas for new puzzles and loop-based mechanics.
But it definitely needs more polish and balance
Thanks for playing! 😊

Great concept. But, as others already have written, the hidden passages are difficult to find on your own. Actually, I found the way through the wall, but still couldn't figure out how to get to the portal. Also, the music loops a bit too often for my taste. Still, neat idea!

Developer

I am sorry
In the next Update i  do a lot of polishing and make something about that hidden wall and i will look forward to the music suggestion

Thanks a lot for your feedback! 🫶

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.

In the next Update i will decrease the camera shake and do a lot of polishing after the Jam

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. 🌝

Developer

I'm sorry it's not very clear!
But in the next update i will make it more clear, and do a lot of polishing

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.

The jump had a really satisfying thump to it! Nice job!

Developer

Thank you glad you liked it

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.

Developer

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.

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.

Developer(+1)

I will look forward to that

Very cool game but the fake wall seemed unnecessary

Developer

In the next update i will improve that.

Fun music and design, although the fake wall thing I wasn't a fan of, not very clear

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

Developer

I'm sorry it's not very clear!

In the next update i will improve that.

Really cute game... but the first level didnt need a "secret wall". I like the movement a lot. Good Game!

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!

Thanks for the feedbeack

It's a cool concept. Unfortunately for the life of me I can't get past that first level even with the instructions. Sorry.

Developer

I am sry to hear that will improve it in the future

Submitted

I think you needed a bit more playtesting, since the game is good, but level one is too hard.

Developer
