Cool game! I feel like it did focus more on the difficulty factor rather than the puzzle factor which I personally did not like. Possibly adding the ability to undo a clone or having the boxes/corpses less slide-y could help. However, the physics of the player felt smooth and did work well so good job!

There definitely many things to improve in this game, I should have put more effort in this one. Thanks for the review !

What an impressive game! I played through all 9 levels and think level 6 was definitely my favourite!! The way you have implemented the theme of rewinding via death but having things remain changed is brilliant and the level design and way that the mechanics of the game are taught to the player is excellent. I liked the basic nature of the sprites and think the blood particles on death was a really nice touch. The dev should be very proud of this submission as it is one of the best submissions I have played so far!

the game has a really cool concept but the controls are a bit strange because you use e and r so why not be able to use wasd instead if the arrows?  anyways cool game :)

I'm used to arrow keys but I agree with you it's not the best controls for most people. Thank you !
