A very interesting concept, and there are some great puzzles here. My main criticism is that the game requires a lot of waiting around to give your future self enough time to execute the challenges--counting seconds while standing on buttons, riding imaginary platforms, serving as a footstool, etc. I think it might be cool to have the echoes be persistent instead of vanishing the moment that your past-self reset. All in all, an ambitous entry with cool puzzles and impressive graphics. Good work!

Developer

Thank you for feedback. Valid criticisim about waiting, when playtesting we got that a couple of times. Appreciate kind words about graphics and levels. Thanks a lot!

What an awesome game! Giving portal vibes in the best way. You captured the theme beautifully, the puzzles were tricky, but not frustrating, and the robots were super cute! Great job all around :)

Developer

Thanks a lot! We glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent puzzle game with some genuinely tricky levels and some extremely cute robots! Each room does a great job at building on previous mechanics, with the multiple stages of planning/timing in later levels really melting my brain!

Music is great, I particularly love the start menu/pause menu theme which does a great job soothing me after just failing to get the timing right on stage 5

This gives me a Portal-like feeling, haha

Good observation. We were inspired by it! Thanks for playing!

Insane. Only bad part about this is there is no more of this to play :D. Also the robot is very cute.

Developer

Thank yooou!

Nice take on the theme!
An in-game tutorial at the first level can be a good idea, I was a little lost at first. Good job though!

Developer

Thank you!

This was really refreshing after playing a billion 'your old self is your enemy' games in the gamejam. It was nice to work as a team! I didn't get as far as I would've liked as I got a bug a couple of times where Q stopped working (I think maybe as I was pressing it at the same time as crouching?). Great focused game though!

Developer

Thank you for feedback! Sorry that bug prevented you from getting more

Pretty slick game, especially for a gamejam scope + all self-made assets. I like the idea of laying out a track for yourself and then following that in the next loop. I feel that sometimes the waiting is a bit long in the first phase. A "fast forward" button would probably have made the game a bit easier for me to navigate.

All in all: interesting game!

Developer

Sick idea. We will look into it. Thanks for playing!
