  • I was unable to get past the third level due to the clone not accurately following the past moves. I also found the controls very confusing, as they are setup in an intuitive way with the default camera. I was able to see how the theme comes into play when the clone expires, but I am worried how that plays out in the future.

Tell us about your game!
ChronoDecay is a short puzzle-platformer about a time-displaced kid trying to find his way back home. After foolishly stealing Doctor Hollow's time machine and throwing yourself across time and space, you must now navigate your way back, repairing your time machine along the way. You do this by collecting scrap, pressing buttons, navigating the level, and of course, the game's main mechanic of creating a time clone of yourself from another timeline. This clone (Which can be activated with "E") will record the series of moves and actions you give it. After reactivating it (With "E") it will begin replaying those moves. But be careful! Once the clone runs out of moves, it will create a paradox field that begins swallowing up the level! Sometimes, you might find it is necessary to use this destructive field to your advantage! Can you make it back to your present time before the whole world gets destroyed by your reckless time-jumps?

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
