Really well done entry to the record yourself genre 😁

I played through most of it and definitely enjoyed it. Trying to avoid yourself is a nice extra step to think about when solving puzzles. The only thing I think would make it better is a fast forward button or something to make waiting go a little faster when standing on a button

Hmm, I see. Great feedback, thanks

The art and music were great, and I like the idea of different starting points in addition to the classic "past clones" idea

This is actually really great I loved it. The puzzle design is really impressive but the only thing I could say is that probably polishing it up a bit more especially in the main menu would do it wonders. I really loved the art tho :)

Developer

Appreciate it!

Wow, it's visually very, very cool and impressive! The presentation and graphic style are really well done! Bravo!

The concept is quite catchy too. However, since I'm terrible, I couldn't finish the last level. :D

But otherwise, it's great!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it ^-^. when testing time it took me verry looonngg time to finish the last one too xD

Ha ha! Well, that reassures me then! Maybe I'm not that bad. :D

That was fantastic! Super creative levels and very clever idea. Perfectly fits the theme. You did a great job! I audibly cheered when I finally beat the final level lol.

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and congratulations for finishing till the last level xD !

Good game!


I saw this same concept a bunch of times in this jam this is probably the best executed one

the level design is pretty good with a logical difficulty curve

also I really love the game logo, if you probably just make it a bit simpler it would be even better because currently there are 5 object sticking out from it

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, we'll definitely take that into account.

Nice implementation of the "clone platformer" type genre. Very nice title screen, game banner, and art + sound! I can really tell a lot of care went into presentation.

I thought the puzzles were clever, but the amount of waiting often required for standing on a switch etc. felt like it slowed the game down a bit. Some additional mechanics in the later levels would have been nice to spice things up too.

Developer

Very appreciate the feedback, and will definitely look into the level design post-jam. Thanks!

I like the slightly spooky and sweet art style ^^

Fun but hard game!
Sadly the ghost don't sync perfectly with you when they push boxes and it's hard to compensate.
I'm not sure the timer was needed either, but it does create tension.

I did get to level 8, but I couldn't beat it because I'm not smart enough.

Good job!

Developer

Input playback was something that took me longer than it should before I realize it doesn't work well with physics-based puzzle games that require high accuracy like mine ;)) Thanks for the feedback!

Incredible. It is hard to anticipate, if the shaddows will end up in the same positions as I have before.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

One of the best games I've played in this game jam so far, Really clever use of the "looping through the same level" concept. the fact that you can't interact with past versions of the player was a great touch, I was actually so entertained and challenged by the game that I completed it. Amazing work 👌

Developer(+1)

Some playtesters never got there ;)) Thanks for playing!

Really clever use of the ghost mechanic.
The sound effects were a bit muted compared to the music but it's a solid piece

(+1)

Last level was a bit difficult due to the box moving out of sync with the player/clone - overall great game :D

Developer

Planning on improving the movement accuracy. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Everything fit the theme. The idea of the game was really good one, I really liked it.

I really liked the main mechanic of the clone, i enjoied it so much!! Also the music feet perfectly the game and the ambience

One of the better avoid your past self platformers I have tried this jam.

I would have liked it if I could continue from the life I am on instead of having to restart the whole level on death

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
