I really like the idea. It is very cool. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to know what the clones are going to do so it is hard to jump on top of them but other than that, I really love the idea and it is a super cute game so I cannot complain!

A little tough to get the hang of the controls, but I'm saving this to come back and play more. Very nice!

Nice spritework! It can get somewhat confusing due to the deaths also producing loops, but it's an interesting and challenging mechanic. I like the atmosphere.

This was fantastic! I'd actually enjoy playing a full version of this game with some cleanup to the controls. Specifically adding the ability to control my character while in the air. Also it's not completely clear how long a "loop" counts, but it wasn't really much of an issue. Anyway, great job!

The Best One, I just think that this is a master piece for a game made under 72 hours and this will keep in my computer for play more, if there is an att or even an payd version, i want to know to buy and play it.

This is a really unique idea and it was really fun! It was a little hard to get used to, but I had fun in the process just duplicating myself ! I think occasionally loops would be created that I didn’t intend so instead of having all control schemes active at once it would’ve been nice to be able to switch between them. Also, spacebar is popular for jump but it would be nice for people like me who prefer the up key as an option.

Absolutely beautiful game! I also had some trouble figuring out where each ghost would go, but I made it to the end. The final spike pit was super hard! If they were a little more consistent it'd be fantastic

Fantastic work, quite a sophisticated set of mechanics for the time allotted as well as great visuals and level design.

Beautiful art ! The concept is well though to, it could be a full game with a lot more time available working on it !

Really creative Idea but a bit too hard for my taste. I only got through a few levels after being stuck. But this can also be because I haven't slept in days ._."

Awesome job! I'm always fascinated when people can pull off that looping mechanic. Very nice!

Really awesome idea. Would love to see this as a full game.

Nice art, and neat concept! For some reason it was a bit hard to predict how the clones would move, but the mechanics involved here were really really cool!

Seriously good work on this!

There were some other games with a similar concept but yours was the one i like the most. Gameplays is great. Adding the slow motion to the clones makes it much easier to use them to progress, and that is excelent. Graphics, audio and level design are all top quality. Loved the game. Great work guys.

The final spike pit timing was challenging. Very nice touch on the game looping back to the starting screen after finishing it. Great job on getting player made moving platforms working.

I really liked the mechanics. It was easy to understand and use to your advantage even though the concept was rather involved. The music and sounds fit well with the look of the game. I managed to make it to the end. Well done!

Nice job! It could be excellent with some polish on controls however :).
The art is pretty nice!

Amazing, just everything is amazing and so well polished, the mechanic itself can be refined a bit but still in 3 days this is big accomplishment.

this game is a winner! Really well done!
For me the movement could have been a little more snappy as it was really hard to do precise jumps! :)

I'm impressed that you managed to get decent-feeling platformer controls done in such a short period of time, well done! The general concept is good, the use of the theme is interesting and it's well executed. I found the music a little boring and repetitive, but that's personal taste I think :wink: the sound effects were great, though :grin:

Beautiful artwork. Felt like I was in a summer garden in a space colony.

Really appreciate the controls help button, very user friendly.

Great entry.

Awesome mechanics, great job! It was hard trying to time my jumps with my loop being slower but eventually got the hang of it.

Really gorgeous! Really fun mechanic and great ideas throughout! I did find it difficult at times other than that it was great!!

Very interesting mechanic, and impressive art! The wall jump didn't feel quite good but other than that, I loved the game

Not a huge fan of the controls here to be honest. They feel a bit laggy, with the wall jump & setting loops being especially weird, and the controller support doesn't seem to work properly. I really enjoyed the visual art and especially the character, but the sound is a serious mismatch and the music is a tad annoying. I think this one could've been great with a bit more time in the oven, but great effort nonetheless!

Very nice-looking and pretty fun to play. Being able to choose from multiple control schemes is a good touch. Nice game!

Great entry as per usuall :) Amazing art and the core mechanic creates really nice platformer. I have to say that especially last 2 levels took me some time. Great Job!
Nyubi8 Oct 2020, 09:43
Great game, I like the basic idea/the mechanics, although at times it was a bit hard to predict the loops in order to move through the level. Art style and music are very pleasing, overall it feels very polished to me! It was fun to play :)

I am obsessed with these graphics, the colors are so vibrant! At first the controls were not intuitive but once I had a chance to practice it was a fun and rewarding game. Great job :)

Great graphics and execution of the theme. Perhaps too many spikes.

Good art, great idea and execution. It was just a bit hard to understand the rules of the clones at first. Also when you had to many of them on the screen you didn't really know which one is which. Maybe coloring them differently or adding a number onto them would have helped with that. Anyway, congrats on the game!
