Fun despite it being simple. Music was good too! Probably needs some added challenge though.

Nice work! I think the only feedback I have would be that I kept getting surprised about when and where the foxes were coming from. I think that you could have a notification when the foxes start spawning, as well as indicators on the edge of the screen to show which directions they are coming from.
Great art and a very creative concept. Unfortunately it was really held back by the character controller. It took me over 5 minutes to get past the first level just because the character moved at an inconsistent speed and it didn't jump consistently when I pressed space. I'm not sure if this is due to low framerate or what, but it definitely had be malding a bit.
But trying to look past the character controller, you came up with a super cool concept. I imagine that the concept stemmed from those screens at the beginning of games that ask you to adjust your brightness. I'm glad you gave us the ability to pick whatever level we want, because the game is really hard o_o
And I LOVED the soundtrack. Not only does it fit my taste, but it also fit the game as well!
THIS IS SO COOL! I got a good chuckle the first time I used the time travel mechanic, because when I did it, my past self ended up fucking my present self over lol. The concept is sick and I'm glad there's a bunch of levels because its super fun.
There are a couple things I took note of:
- If you have a bunch of clones running around, it's really hard to tell which of them is the "present" version of you.
- The platforming is pretty clunky and I think that it holds the game back a bit. It was fun racing against my own past self but it became a little frustrating when I missed jumps. This could be solved easily with the traditional coyote time + jump buffering, and maybe some accel/decceleration to make it smoother.
- Timing is pretty finicky. I often found myself waiting for a while on buttons just to give my future self an opportunity to walk through gates. Perhaps to solve this you could make it so that clones just sit in place indefinitely after their time runs out, instead of disappearing. Not sure if this would lead to level design issues, but its worth trying. It's also pretty hard to "line up" my actions in time with the past versions. I thought that maybe at the bottom of the screen there could be a timeline that shows each clone's lifespan lined up with each other, as well as showing the key actions that they did and when (like hitting a switch, jumping, rewinding, etc). This would help avoid those failstates that are caused by the player being off just by a second or two. Maybe you could also add a slow-motion mechanic too? So many possibilities.
Banger soundtrack, and the character is so cool looking. STFU!!!
Awesome! Interesting mechanic and interpretation of the theme. A couple things that would be nice to see if you continue to work on this after the jam:
- a score counter
- better indication about what the guards can see, and indication for when they detect you
I also think that there are a lot of good level design opportunities that the mechanic brings that could be explored further.
