Does your game contain AI-generated content?
No

How does your game fit/incorporate the theme of the game jam?
The game is entirely built around the idea of "remnants of the past." Each iteration leaves an echo, a trace of your previous actions that persists and directly impacts how you approach the next level. These echoes are not just tools but also remnants of your own prior strategy, reflecting how the past constantly influences the present.

The theme is reinforced by the core mechanic: players must learn to work with the "remnants" of their previous actions, using them creatively to overcome challenges. In this way, "Echo of the Past" makes the past tangible and essential for progression, perfectly aligning with the theme.

Awesome job! Loved the mechanic. Only change I would make is to make the character move in tiles to make the playability more predictable.

I actually got recommended this in my game cause we both used the phrase "Echoes of the Past" in our games xD Glad to see great minds think alike

Thank you so much for playing it! While moving it by tiles would make it more predictable, it would lose the great freedom of movement that we could take advantage of for various puzzles. But it would be worth testing your suggestion (maybe I'm wrong).

It's great to align on ideas and see how each person brings their own style to them. 😄

If anything, this game is definitely in line with the theme. Each puzzle is unique and thought-provoking, and well-supported by the ambient soundtrack — though like another comment already pointed out, the time limit is unclear and got me confused during the spiked floor section. Still, it was a short yet enjoyable experience!

Great Puzzle game, Love the echo mechanic as a puzzle. good work.
Figured out theres a 30(?) sec where it "remembers" the echo, so for the last round you have to resource manage it as well. Probably should have an indicator.
Would love a longer game with the same concept.
