The aesthetics and visuals of the game was really impressive! I liked the idea of using your past self to create a pulse force and essentially act as a leverage.

Developer

Developer

incredible artstyle! the best i've seen so far i think. the idea behind recording a loop is really nice but i feel it's a bit underutilized. the double jump by exploding is really not intuitive i had to read to comments to understand, so i feel like a better tutorial could have helped (i say this but our game has the same problem oops). overall really solid entry!

Developer

thank u so much! appreciate the feedback, and definitely agree on all youir points, we are working towards fixing it up and having a more complete future release

Initially I wasn't aware that you could record and instead super jumped (single jump > pulse > immediately jump again) through the first few levels. The art style is super cool, and I love the controls being displayed like the manual for a TV remote. Great work!

Developer

you have unlocked the hacking mechanism! bravo! hahaha

Interesting game with great aesthetic and metaphor! I enjoyed it!

Developer

thank you so much!

One of the best aesthetics/art of any game for this jam! 

Developer

that means a lot, thank you for your appreciation

Submitted(+1)

Really good idea and aesthetic! I love this concept and how it's executed. But I have some personal feedback that would make it better for me.


The first room took me a while to get, I had to check the gifs to understand how I had to use the mechanic. Also, sometimes I got confused because the replay and your sprite look the same so when they mix you sometimes lock track of you are. I would love to have an easier first level and some differentiation between the character you control and the replay. But other than that I've really enjoyed this game! 

Developer

thank you for the helpful feedback, we will definitely take it into account for the fix ups!

Really gorgeous. Bit hard to control, but pretty as all heck. Nice work! :D

Developer(+1)

thank u!! yeah it takes a few tries to get a good hang on the mechanisms, but once u do it's rather satisfying, although i am quite biased 8)

lovely art! i had a lot of trouble understanding the mechanics at first, i think a better tutorial in game would be good.

Developer

thank u! yeah we couldn't add a proper tutorial level for the jam submission deadline, so later on added it as gifs on the description :'(

THANK U!

AWESOME game! You deserve the compliments dev! :D

Incredible graphics!

I really liked the atmosphere of this game and the various ways to solve each level, especially by interacting with the crates. After the jam, this game clearly deserves some time spent creating a few sounds to make the experience even more enjoyable :D

Developer(+1)

thank u so much, very happy to read your comment! and yes we will def take the time to polish this baby up

Submitted(+2)

As others have said, the game's visual style is really charming!

I did find the collisions with your own clones a bit odd, which made the gameplay feel a little tricky at times.

That said, I really like the idea of being able to start the loop recording whenever you want — it gives a great sense of control.

Very cool concept!

Developer

thank you! yeah sometimes the clones push u away when they pulse, thanks for the feedback and taking the time to play the game

Submitted(+2)

I love the aesthetics of this game! The pulse ability also helps this game stand out amongst the other player ghost games. Nice work!

If possible, please consider rating my game too. 

Developer

thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

This style is completely cool. Wow!

Submitted(+2)

I liked the game, felt real. The only thing challenging for me was that I had to put my nose on the computer screen due to countless hours in front of that old CRT watching Maury all day, too much ramen dust in my eyes to blink. Guess this game could have come in handy back then... oh well.

Developer

thank you! maybe we'll add some maury vs jerry springer as a bonus level, that'd be chaos hehe
