This game was exactly what I needed after all of the stress of developing my game. The resource gathering is really satisfying! I love how it feels like you're working together with all of the past versions of yourself.
Also, how did you manage to make a play-in-browser 3D game (with gameplay recording mechanics) not lag at all, even on my struggling little laptop?

Thank you so much — that really means a lot! ❤
This was actually my first solo game jam, and my last jam was over two years ago, so your kind words mean even more!
I'm really glad the game could give you a moment to relax after all the dev stress. The idea of teaming up with past versions of yourself was the heart of the loop mechanic — I just wish I had more time to expand on it!
As for performance: the replay system works kind of like multiplayer — I only record key actions each frame (like movement, jumps, tool switches, etc.), not actual gameplay footage, which keeps things lightweight. And as for WebGL… big thanks to Unity for making it run smoothly!
Thanks again for playing — and congrats on finishing your own game too!
