How does your game tie into the theme?
As you collect keys to escape Paradox Dungeon, time clones appear following in your footsteps. Seems like this place doesn't want you to leave...!

Loved it. Great mechanic. Nicely implemented.

It's so interesting to die repeatedly to one's own movement paths. It's not like I didn't know I was going that way.

Well done.

Fantastic game! Such a cool way to change up the platformer formula, where instead of enemies and pitfalls, your own moves come back to bite you. Really makes you to think about your path and timing. There has to be  loads of potential for expansion here too, this clone mechanic can carry a lot of weight I think. Very nice.

I also had to resize the page, but then I was able to play just fine. So yeah, really enjoyable throughout, excellent job!

Very clever idea. Yeah game can't fit the little area of the player on the page, but I was able to zoom the page/resize the window to be able to see everything. So I was able to complete it.

Got some time to understand the enemies movement, and it is veery enjoyable. Would love to see more levels.

Ah, this is such a cool idea but for some reason, the game is cut out. I could not see the entire screen and couldn’t get past the second level. Took me some time to figure out that the enemies are you … I mean they mimic your movement. Great job!

Aw, darn! It must have something to do with different monitor sizes or something. I'll have to look into that, thanks for letting me know!

Very challenging game, but incredibly well executed! Great job!

Cute little game!

Ran into a bug when going through a door at the same time as dying. It messed up the UI and controls!

Aw, sorry to hear that! I can't think offhand what might have caused that, but I'll have to look into it. 

Thanks for playing! :)

great solid game. (I wish you allowed wasd since my keyboard's arrow keys are difficult to work with). love the time clone concept it fits that betrayal card so nicely you should have marked it as one you used. Over all very nice game that i would love to play more levels of.
