This entry suffers from the same problem as many other entries with the same mechanics I have played in this jam (it's a very popular interpretation): it suffers from making the player wait around too much for the clones to sync up to continue the solution.

That being said, it's actually one of the better executions. I didn't get as much annoyed by the game as I have a lot of other similar entries, and I actually found some part fun. Some of the visuals seem a bit out of place, like the running smoke particles in a pixel game, but not too bad. The audio is pretty fun, but every level resetting to the start is a tiny bit annoying.

Submitted

Cool entry, I've been loving ones like this where you loop yourself to try and progress! Loved the bounciness of the character, the music was a bit too loopy for me, but that's just another plus for the jam theme really! Nice work!

I liked the CCTV showing me my past loops and i liked the ground pound effect when landing. felt weighty. 

Submitted

I liked the CCTV feed. Sadly, I couldn't get past level 2

Submitted

Amazing game! Really liked the implementation of the cameras, giving you an idea where your shadows are, especially once the levels become more sprawling

Submitted

Really cool concept and liked how the number of loop clones were restricted so you had to plan around that.

Had the same problem as others with getting stuck on the second level, but lots of other cool puzzles beyond that.

Also really liked the CCTV for displaying the footage of your previous loops.  That was such a nice addition.

Submitted

Nice game!

We couldn't figure out how to pass level 2 haha

Submitted

Same. I tried to look at the sign thinking it's a hint but... nothing.

Submitted

A solid take on the theme. I find the level design to be engaging and challenging, although, the second level being an easter egg threw me off. Nice work!

Submitted

A little burnt out on this concept, but this was a pretty solid take. 

Submitted

Nice work!!!! This idea of the time loop is awesome! Nice game!

Submitted

Played a lot of games with this take on the theme this jam. One of the main things I liked about this on in particular is that more than just your last loop is important. Great work!

Submitted

Wow, really well done! There are a ton of platformers with similar loop mechanics this game jam, but I think yours feels the best. I love how quick the spawning of each loop is. Everything feels really responsive and crisp. The puzzles are also very well done.

Submitted

the puzzles are creative as well as the loop clones mechanics. well done! I couldn't beat not every button is your friend though ^_^

Submitted

Working on this solo was a great feat! I chuckled at quite a few of the signs :)

Good job!

Submitted

Great game! It's amazing you did all this solo in just 4 days! Awesome work!

Submitted

The later puzzles felt very well thought out and I enjoyed solving them! I also liked the "close enough" snap mechanic when you get really close to the ledge and it catches you.

Submitted

Plumber level had me scratching my head! past it it gets interesting trying to plan for each recording. its a nice touch being able to see the two little screens at the top of the screen.
The sound was fun, but the music loop got old pretty quickly. I had to mute. Fun to beat the levels tho!

Submitted

I think it's a cool idea, but I wasn't able to beat the plumber level. After reading the comments here I was able to figure out that I needed to back into the wall, but still wasn't able to solve it.

The main mechanic worked really well though, and I could see how you could make very interesting puzzles with it.

Submitted

I couldn't pass beyond second level but its really nice and creative I like it. 

Submitted

The gameplay is really amazing ! But the soundtrack is annoying imo lol
