As you explored an ancient civilization temple, you were absorbed in a strange portal !
Write the future, then watch yourself fail... or succeed.

Touch the totem to end the curse !

`The windows version (.exe & source code) is the main entry developed during the game jam.`

`The web version is updated after the game jam to fix problems.`

`10/06 : fixed a bug that would not allow you to reach level 7, displaying a black screen`

Known bugs (that won't be fixed because of fairplay):

- (minor) the saw sound will stay loud after dying
- (minor) the character will stay on screen after the end of a loop if you didnt die or reach the totem (until you start new recording)
- (minor) If you fall, the loop will play until its end (death from fall was not implemented)

(Work only with 16:9 screen)

As an amateur music producer, one of my first idea when I looked at the theme was music loops. Then I thought about recording things and hop! I had my concept :O (= recording your actions then watch how it works and redo with your new knowledge, etc)

My biggest challenge was certainly not the mechanics itself but how to make it juicy and funny.

I have to admit I’ve certainly spent too much time on graphics and the last hours were an absolute rush. I think I made the levels in the last 2 hours so it’s not perfectly balanced and I forgot to make levels of various time lengths… (but anyways the game can be finished, I did the entire run within 25 loops)
