I was a bit confused at first since I didn’t really notice the timer in the corner, so I kept breaking the loop. But I tried again the next day and got the hang of it! I thought it was interesting how you had to dodge your past self and movements. It added a more challenging aspect to the game.

Fun concept but you can just wait for all past self to finish first. Minimalistic art style is great.

Hey! Found your game really fun with the levels really well done. I always love a challenging game and it was just that.

Can you please try and review our game as well?

Fun little puzzle platformer

This is fun, I like it!

I recommend doing a bit more complicated graphics to make your game more appealing, but overall the concept is cool and the game is fun :)

Really fun game and cool concept. You played and rated my game so I rated yours and it's really fun, I got addicted trying to beat it but sadly I couldn't. It got way too hard on the level with the wall on top of you. The controls are good but maybe adding coyote time or buffer can make those levels a bit easier. Maybe you could also add a level unlock screen. Amazing game!

Wow. Very cool concept and execution. I think the platforming difficulty curve at least at where i stopped (level when u need to jump up around a thingy), was much higher then puzzle one. Maybe it was ur idea to swap them periodically, but i really liked it.

Developer

Thank you very much :D

I tried to keep a general difficulty curve - with later levels just being similar but harder version of previous ones - but after playing through them all so often I really couldn't tell which ones were the hardest XD

A fun and tricky mix of puzzle and platforming. Really well done

Developer

Thank you so much!

Gameplay is fun, and I particularly like how there's a timer you have to be mindful of, so one doesn't just stay in a corner and wait out the other loops!

Developer

Thank you! And yeah, the timers for the later levels ended up being a lot shorter than I originally thought they would be just to make sure that wasn't the best way to beat them

Really enjoyed the core gameplay loop!

Glad you enjoyed it!
