How does your game fit the theme?
Blot Fugitive is built entirely around the idea of a time loop. Each time the player resets (either by dying or pressing the "Loop" button), a ghost of their past run remains — replaying their exact actions. These "ink ghosts" become essential tools for solving puzzles, activating switches, and overcoming challenges that would be impossible alone. The loop isn't just a story element — it's the core mechanic. You must plan ahead and cooperate with your past selves to escape the cycle. The more you loop, the more allies you leave behind.

Cool concept! The camera took a little getting used to, but after that it was pretty fun!

Really creative concept, I love how the ink ghosts aren’t just visual flair but an actual core mechanic. Coordinating with your past selves added a unique strategic layer I haven’t seen done this way before. The spinning screen was disorienting at first, but it eventually felt like part of the chaotic charm. Maybe easing players into it more gradually would help with accessibility. Overall, a surreal, stylish, and clever take on the time loop theme,  great job!

Pretty abrasive aesthetic, fit's the them well!

I felt like I was better when the screen was rotated right-side up, I recommend there be some gameplay benefit to the rotation (if there was I missed it).

Nice entry!

This is really trippy :-D Looping around through time loops - fun concept.

Trippy game but omg, kinda fun when you get into it actually!

That's so trippy ... Very strange experience (not in a bad way) but quit difficult. Also I have a small screen and had to dezoom my browser to be able to play the game, you can probably fix it by reducing the default window size of the game on itch though. And I suggest adding a clear background behind the number question or at least improve the contrast because at first I didn't see the multiplication, it blends with the background

It's a trippy game but definetely fun, the screen spins constantly and there's a lot of stuff going on at once.

Ink ghosts work well, and seemed to consistently do what I expected.  I could have used a little more time to get used to the controls and the spinning before the death traps though. I got the first gem and almost the second before the spinning did me in and I had to tap out. I would have liked to keep playing more, as the puzzles and platforming were definitely getting more interesting as it went.

Trippy

Really cool game, found it to be very enjoyable

really loved the art and the vibe of the whole thing; tapping on those buttons has gotta be the "dark souls of rapidly pressing a button" though xD

The animations kinda reminds me of yume nikki, in a good way

This is hellish.

Cool!  It's my game, only complete, done well, with a nice visual style, and in all other ways actually good!  Thanks for making this, I'm glad to see what a time loop puzzle game can really be! 


I particularly like the spinning effect - trying to keep track of which way is which was a lot of fun.

Creative entry, the vibe (art, audio) feels very surreal. I'm not sure about the rotating mechanic, if anything it made me a bit dizzy, but I don't think it was particularly interesting gameplay-wise. I guess it fits the vibe though. Nice game!

Submitted(+1)

nice and creepy! the drum loop music adds so much to the eerie vibe of this one. The level is very open with little guidance and the screen spin adds to the disorienting chaotic feeling.

The Art is sooo good and sooo wierd

Submitted(+1)

Oh wow! That was so surreal, and had such a creepy vibe to it! (which I loved!) It was super hard for me to play, though! Super cool overall!

Chaotic and fabulous.

Loved the sound and aesthetic.  Was surprised by how quickly I accepted the spinning world.
