An incredibly strong project — no words needed. 5 out of 5!
Very good puzzle game. Tho I did found myself spamming left and right (A/D) just to progress the game at some point :x oof
Top marks all around, this is a "10/10 no notes" situation where I'm using it 100% unironically. Great concept, great execution, loved the SFX and the VFX. Incredible job.
Really amazing game! Graphics are cool and works with the gameplay, and the level design is well made. The concept is really cool and the best take on the theme I've seen until now (I mean, the idea isn't revolutionary but the way it's implemented here make it work much better than other game of the genre). Maybe having a quick slide in between displacements would make the ghosts look cooler, especially when there are many of them.
The esapce the loop end is really fun! Congrats!
Interesting concept! I like how the old loops interact with the environment and help you through the level. I love the cover art, wish there was a bit more of that cool style in game, maybe if the old versions had a picture pop up.
Hard to see the bottom edge of the screen
Cool game!
Really cool concept.
I like how quickly the complexity ramps up when you realise how many iterations of yourself are required to complete the puzzles.
The music and art are also fantastic and really add a lot to the overall tone and feel.
Ive always wanted to make a 2 bit game, this is really cool !
Loved the monochrome art style, and the concept fit the theme perfectly. Would definitely echo others in in saying that being able to move by holding would make the experience a lot less tiring :)
cool concept
I would love your rating to my game!
really fun take on the "loop" theme. I really enjoyed not being given too much information but instead relying on experiencing certain things to understand how they worked. Great level design to explore the depth of the repeating nature of the game!
insane concept! love the dialogues with the echoes
incredible game!! the concept is great and very well executed
congrats!!
Very cool concept for the game!
I was shocked by the concept, well done!
I think this is a solid concept, but having to walk in place so much to wait for your other selves to catch up is tedious. If you were add a fast forward or rewind or something, that would be fantastic.
I really love the visuals and the eerie atmosphere. Even not being able to hold the keys down seems tedious, I think it plays well into the narrative
Very cool entry! Having the movement be turn based makes this a an interesting take on theme. Ensuring that you are timed up with your past selves becomes more of a puzzle than a flurry of execution and it gives the game a relaxing and thoughtful vibe. The art is gorgeous too, you manage to get so much texture out of the 1 bit style, its really impressive.
Great entry, thanks for making it!!
I’d like to step away from the game itself to say how nice the banner art is, the player character looks really cool! As for the game itself, having it be tile-based is a novel approach to the “use your past selves to help you” genre that I’ve seen many of here, good work coming up with that!
