How does your game fit the theme?
The countdown drives the whole loop: you act for a fixed countdown, then when it hits zero your actions become an echo replaying in reverse while you take control of a new character. Each level can chain multiple countdowns this way, splitting off another echo each time. The final countdown is also a real threat — reaching the flag before it runs out is how you actually win the level. So the countdown is both the mechanic that creates your echoes and the pressure that can end the level in failure.

Great game ! It's a nice take on the concept, I thought you just had a timer at first, but the reverse position (and double reverse later) are very smart ! It's impressive that you made that much levels (and that are that good). It's a very polished little experience. I can totally see the potential for many more levels ! Congrats !
Thanks a lot! :D Really appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
I was expecting the typical recorded duplicate but was surprised when it was in reverse. Although, I don't have the brains for this, but it was fun!
Thank you for playing :)
This is so fun need strategy to play for me good..!
Glad you had fun! :D
Woah, this is so fun. I wonder how did you make the past version of the player here
Thx! Each frame, your position is recorded into an array. When the countdown runs out, the past version replays that array in reverse.
Ugh, this is SO GOOD! Such a creative idea and really well executed. Great job!
Thank you for playing! Awesome to hear you liked it :D
Very creative idea and puzzles. I wish there was a quick restart as I kept messing up and had to wait.
Thank you for the feedback! :)
A nice game, the puzzles where quite challenging for me but i like the time reverse mechanism!
Thx for playing :)
Very nice, well designed and tricky levels!
Thank you! Really happy you liked it.
This is so cleverly put together! I really enjoyed playing it.
Glad you liked it! :)
Original take on the "play with a clone" genre of puzzle game with the time going backwards ! Clean art too :)
Thank you! :D
Really cool idea! Loved to play around with it.
Thanks! :) Really happy you enjoyed it.
