Jayjay26 Aug 2013, 05:42

The messages really add to this game =]

I love it ! The concept of being my own partner thru the levels is really nice ! Cant past level 8, me and my other self aren't good enough hehe. The what can happened in 10 seconds is a nice touch. Good music too!

Lidfrid26 Aug 2013, 10:10

I finish the game, veeeeery cool! I really like the level design. My index finger is bleeding now though :) well done :D

Capro26 Aug 2013, 10:25

This is really clever. I love it.

Larzan26 Aug 2013, 12:26

Love the puzzles, well done, cool idea with being your own partner.

anjack26 Aug 2013, 12:28

Excellent game! The music and text really set the mood!

Xera26 Aug 2013, 12:31

Such a great game! Simple but innovative mechanics and meaningful messages that are represented in the gameplay. Also fitting music and graphics. Just amazing!

Ciaran5426 Aug 2013, 12:32

Nice, stretches the brain :P

rephus26 Aug 2013, 12:34

Skully26 Aug 2013, 18:50

Love the reuse of previous attempts mechanic

bvanschooten26 Aug 2013, 22:40

Excellent idea, the replay mechanic. I got stuck at level 8 though.

psychomonster27 Aug 2013, 00:27

coop mouse labyrinth ^^ That is awesome... good for everyones brain after this weekend ^^

Jupiter_Hadley27 Aug 2013, 00:47

Really nice game, very deep concept. I enjoyed playing it. I included it in my compilation video of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxp6zWGaGM

ratalaika27 Aug 2013, 09:20

Nice work :)!

Will Edwards27 Aug 2013, 09:53

Deep! Really liked the thoughts, and the game mechanics.

Zelun27 Aug 2013, 10:03

Great concept, man. That music is amazing. And the message you're trying to pass by the game design is nice! ;D

rujo27 Aug 2013, 10:17

very hard for me! but fits the theme nicely!

doonay2127 Aug 2013, 10:19

OMG! This one i like the most so far! I like how original the idea is. Good work!

jay griffin27 Aug 2013, 11:04

Really liked this one. Once it opened up and I saw what it was doing it really put a smile on my face. Great soundtrack too. Recommended!

Reaperguy27 Aug 2013, 12:03

Wow, really great and very original idea! The mosaic of the ludum dare pictures is very nice too.

Headless Hobo27 Aug 2013, 12:32

Nice use of theme and an awesome new idea.

Xaychru0427 Aug 2013, 13:01

Wow, the game mechanism is very clever, the levls are well done too. Great job! :)

Doctor Broccoli27 Aug 2013, 13:16

Really cool idea, I love the self-cooperation-aspect of it.

udo27 Aug 2013, 13:46

At first it took me a while to get it (dummy me), but then it was really fun zooming around, battling counters assisted by my past self. Very cool concept and execution. Kudos!

Spiderhund27 Aug 2013, 13:48

This is the most interesting and fun concept I've seen!

It's fun watching 4 cursor fly around clicking on everything :P

Amazing work!

Toshiro27 Aug 2013, 13:57

Very smart.

CoderDozer27 Aug 2013, 14:39

Fun game, nice job.

Flai27 Aug 2013, 15:35

Really really great idea and gameplay!

Zccc27 Aug 2013, 16:01

Deep game and great mechanics, one of the best I've played so far.

Falcon27 Aug 2013, 16:27

Very cool idea. Enjoyed it a lot.

Spiridios27 Aug 2013, 19:40

Neat puzzle game, played to the end. Needs to have a way to reset completely so I can start fresh when that dolt I'm playing with screws up. Or if it already has that, the dolt I've been playing with didn't tell me. :P

klianc0927 Aug 2013, 20:02

Damn, a game on Ludum Dare that made me actually think. I don't mean about puzzles, I mean about life... didn't expect that. (And please don't expect it from my games). If there were a category "Motivational" to vote on, you would get 5/5 stars.

infernet89author27 Aug 2013, 20:38

@klianc09: This is probably the best comment I've ever received. Thank you

wintermute27 Aug 2013, 22:09

Some riddles are definitely smart. Music is the best part imho, why solving riddles when you can just dance to such a tune?

Diogo Muller27 Aug 2013, 23:17

Very different concept. Good game :)

Nick Weihs28 Aug 2013, 10:37

Really interesting game, wouldn't have thought of this myself!

Kragnir29 Aug 2013, 04:45

Nice idea. Nice music. A bit too much waiting and too many of the solutions was simply to wait. It did have some interesting levels though.

matthewvermaak29 Aug 2013, 07:33

Great Job. Incredibly satisfying to work along side my other mouse clicks. Created some great puzzles. Well done! :0)

xrm031 Aug 2013, 12:22

Nice concept.

Roan Contreras1 Sep 2013, 02:36

This game has nice messages, you really have a point there :D ... Loved the music, and great gameplay. Nice game :D

Almax271 Sep 2013, 12:23

Nice puzzle game, I liked the "randoms 10 sec facts"

DanteZack931 Sep 2013, 14:36

I loved this game, really well done puzzles :)

xhunterko2 Sep 2013, 03:35

Very good over all. Though I did not fiinish. Got a little too frustrating after a few levels. Nice presentation, not too bad.

fferro2345 Sep 2013, 04:50

The messages are great. A clever way to include the theme. The gameplay is also pretty enjoyable. Good job.

theholychicken6 Sep 2013, 06:10

Amazing!! Just brilliant!
Mind-blowingly innovative with a terrific message. This is the best use of the theme I've seen this Ludum!
Loved it!

PaperBlurt6 Sep 2013, 12:45

Like it.. It's kinda like infotainment!

bitowl6 Sep 2013, 18:51

I was totally overwhelmed, when the second cursor from the past came up and I got how well the messages fit
awesome!

Antidote8 Sep 2013, 16:56

I stopped on 4th level because my arm has been hurting lately and I didn't want to make it worse D: interesting idea though

motty9 Sep 2013, 05:22

Brilliant.

UnorthodoxGames16 Sep 2013, 18:55

Haha, I love the trivia! Great work.

Static 6416 Sep 2013, 19:39

I didn't understand it at first, but it became very engaging once I did.

Atmospherium17 Sep 2013, 22:21

I really like how you developed this. You effectively demonstrated both the insignificance and the power of 10 seconds in a clear and engaging way. My only major suggestion would be to allow the replay to happen even if the player hit one of the obstacles.
