Played the entire game and loved it! The puzzles are good, I never felt stuck, everything was super clear. Of course, it would have been better if the movement was faster and the cutscenes skippable but there's already a lot of good stuff for a game developed in under 4 days. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and yep I'll defa keep stuff like that in mind if I do a gamejam again, qol is super important

Really cool game! I actually ended up playing through the whole thing even though I didn't expect to! The puzzles felt elaborate and really well designed,. It's clear a lot of thought went into them! The intricacy of the puzzles also had a really nice curve, starting off simple and then becoming much harder to guess what to do next. I loved getting those "ah ha" moments and understanding when/why I needed to loop back in time, really great stuff!

My only nitpick is movement could be a bit faster, especially since you'll end up replaying quite a few dialogues and such. Also would be nice to have a smoother diagonal movement, but it didn't hurt the experience much. Otherwise, great game and congrats on the submission!

Thanks so much! Silly Mc gotta work on their cardio, though that's not how robots work ig, maybe they gotta get some rocket boosters lmao, but yes absolutely, and hearing that you got through it all is amazing!

This is extremely cool! The idea is really creative, and the execution is on top! The music is really good as well, I had a really good time playing this!

So glad you enjoyed!

A very cool concept. Glad to see a timeloop story about a prison escape like this. And solving the puzzles were also really fun. My only real complaint is the lack of a skip function for dialogue which we've already done. But it's made in 4 days and for that, it's pletty polished!
Also, the linux version worked just fine for me :)

Thanks! Agreed, a way to get past cutscene's/dialogue u've already done would defa be something I should have done with more time, but I'm glad you enjoyed it, and nice the linux build works, good job unity ig lmao

Very cool! I like how the silly story telling works with the foreshadowing of certain things like the banana peel. Some parts are a little repetitive but I guess that's the point of time loops, however the humor helped keep it fresh when you find something new. A little more story on why you have the time loop ability would be nice but regardless I enjoyed this a lot.

Thank you! Yeah definitely ran out of time for much more backstory, only touching a bit on the itch but barely lmao, and I'm glad you enjoyed it

I LOVED this entry! Make this amount of interactions, animations and polish is absurd for in such a short time. You guys seriously did a lot of hard work!

My favourite part are the dialogues, they are fun and interesting. Some puzzle are maybe a bit out of place (like, why there is a pile of boxes in front of a corridor? XD) but it's not really a big deal.

What I missed the most was a fast-forward button to ease the repetition of having to solve the same puzzle multiple times. Also some animations are long, I didn't want to see them again 2/3 times.

Overall I had a lot of fun playing the game, thanks you for making it!

Thanks! I enjoyed working on the dialogue a lot to be fun and silly, not perfect but happy with it, and love that you enjoyed it too! There are for sure some things that needed more work, my idea for the boxes was quite a busy center area, but time gets ahead of you before you know it lmaooo

A fast forward button is a great idea, maybe as an extension of the notebook, to reduce redoing the same things too much lol

Thank you for playing!
