Full rating in all categories from me! I made the mistake playing this at 22:30 in the evening so my brain was mush after a long day, but nevertheless this is one of the best game I have played this jam. I am a sucker for puzzle games so this was right up my alley. My only critique would be to maybe add a mute button for the audio / music, as the soundtrack became a little repetitive. I am impressed at how sophisticated you have managed to build the levels. I can only imagine how long time you have spend play-testing and making sure each level was beatable. Even the text segments, which can be a danger to game flow, felt natural and took a coherent part in the gameplay. All in all, a suberb game! Well done! :-D
Thank you for the well-considered and glowing review! I'm glad that you enjoyed : )
I'll definitely add a mute.
This is a very well made puzzle game! One of the best game in this jam. Really love it.
The trick used in Level 6 was simply amazing. I haven't made it to the end yet, but I will continue later.
I think undo feature will be very useful if implemented.
And I accidentally found that I can select a level by pressing enter key which is not described on the game page :)
Cool concept! The game is pretty fun, Goodjob!
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing!
Nice job!
I liked all the details that made the game easier to read: the timer on the top right part, the pink trail, the animations and sounds when you move.
Those puzzles felt a bit hard for me, I am not a big puzzle game player!
Thanks for the feedback! I got a bit carried away in difficulty I think! I'll keep that in mind. Do you know which level you made it to?
Great game! Sprites are nicely done and the music matches. The puzzles are really fun to figure out and the game definitely matches the theme, good job!
Really cool mechanic. I am always psyched to play creative puzzle games like this despite how awful I am at playing them. But I enjoy them for as long as my patience lasts. ;)
Thanks!
Nice! I liked it when the solution to some puzzles seemed obvious but when you try it you find out it's not that simple.
Really fun and the artwork is really cute! :))
I'm glad you enjoyed playing! Thank you! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝
This is awesome!
I absolutely love the story and how you incorporated the loop into the gameplay. Triggering a time paradox when you encounter yourself is a very nice touch to the puzzles.
The only thing I noticed is that the audio only plays from the left earphone but that's not a big deal.
Good job, I really enjoyed playing this!
woah! Interesting
I think I know why too.
That was such a great bug catch, tysm <3
Edit: the bug should be fixed now! The audio script I was using had a 2D position that I forgot about, so I edited it to throw away the 2D position on screen which previously was always 0,0, so it would play more out of one ear than the other
Really like the concept and the puzzle stage. Nice work!
thank you!
Nice game and concept :D!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Are you running from your past or trying to not repeat your past errors in this game?
The top secret station that you work at has had a mysterious temporal anomaly that keeps splitting time and making another version of yourself.
You have to use the location of your past self to press buttons to progress through the station.
I edited the description to explain that a bit more!
This game is super cool and polished! Very tricky, strategic, and difficult in the later stages!
Thank you! And yes the difficulty gets up there!
This is super cool! I really like the challenge this idea presents, overall a really cool concept!
Thank you!
