nice
Really liked the art style, Well made and cleaver puzzle design, although I must say I had a really hard time solving some of them.
This is very well executed! Really satisfying to solve the puzzles. Excellent work! :D (I sadly couldn't finish it but I might give it another go later :P)
I love the concept! I don't have enough brain power to figure out how to win right now, but I'll definitely come back to it.
Great concept! I tried something similar with my jam project, but I really like how you created environmental puzzles that require past echoes to complete. Very solid proof of concept with a ton of potential. Hope you keep fleshing it out!
Lovely lovely lovelyyyy! <3
Love the idea and execution. I think there are more layers and ideas to explore here as well. Great job!
This is a very creative and ambitious game that's unfortunately really frustrating to actually play. The grid based movement got a bit painful on my hand and the whole game is pretty cryptic, my first run softlocked because I just pressed every button I saw including spike buttons. The concept of every past life permeating and interacting with the world was really creative but I wished it was used more than just pressing buttons, like using their bodies to build a bridge to the desert was really fun to discover I just wish the rest of the game could be able to be more creative like that. With the limited time I can understand how being able to properly iterate on the idea though. Having my own echoes pace around waiting for the other past me to get my butt off the couch and open a door was incredibly charming, getting pissed at myself 10 minutes ago and seeing the whole thing play out at the end was a really nice treat. The banner art is also excellent, really fond of this artstyle. Very charming game, if a bit obtuse, which for some may very well be the highest of compliments. GG!
I really love the clever concept of your game! Having echoes of past runs become part of the puzzle is such a fresh and smart mechanic , it kept me thinking in a unique way. The art style is charming too, really adds to the experience. I did find it a bit tricky to keep track of all the echoes at times, but that just made it more challenging and rewarding. Great job!
THIS is PEAK. The spike mechanic was a little too hard to understand so I had to refresh the page... Losted my 96 Echoes and ended with 19 sadge.
One of my favorites in this year jam Good Job. ヽ(✿゚▽゚)ノ
yoo! glad you like it that much! thank you!
Man this game is the best of the jam for me for now!!! Really good!!
WOW! THANK YOU!
Look forward to seeing this on the winners list!
Love the art work! I love minit and this really reminded me of i
I really liked this idea! I would like if maybe there was a way to kill echoes? It felt like the more I played the more I had to remember and you can't really remember all the movement patterns so I got frustrated
Really nice idea, but pressing repetedly the same button instead of holding is a bit annoying
I love the idea of having to coordinate your movement to make your echoes open doors for you to progress
the fact the echoes have turn-based movement makes that aspect so much better because then you have to make sure you get there before the echoes do
I really liked it, but I think I stopped some of my echoes on the buttons that turn spikes on and I couldn't progress further. After a few echoes it get's incredibly hard to see where the hell the player character is.
The idea is pretty damn good, though I need a bigger brain to keep a track of all my clones lol.
love the world design :)
super cool visual !
