74-DL is free! And he wants to play on and on and on...

Shut down this robot, that constantly keeps activating itself. Using time loop grants you tries to complete your mission.

*I wonder, if playing with time could have negative effects?*

Choose your equipment and start

Get over robot's attacks and shut it down.

Loop time when hit and try again

Well done! You can return to the laboratory now.

*Oh... It looks like professors time gadget starts having some issues? Be careful to not get caught in time warp!*

Content:
The game contains four levels of increasing difficulty, finishing with an additional hidden task to finally break the loop and finish the game!

Are you ready to beat 74-DL?

I literally could not get over the first spring. Not sure if my keyboard is jacked or I am just bad at timing, but I could not jump over it to save my life.

Interesting concept! A bit unclear at first that you needed to return to the starting room but eventually got the hang of it. Good work on the graphics too!

After playing I now understand the title.. It was difficult, but engaging!! Although the movement felt a little clunky because you couldn't jump and move (but that's precisely what made it difficult I suppose). The art was clean too!

I really like the artstyle but the game is to easy for my taste and the missing background sound really hurts the overall mood

They controls are a bit off but the art style is amazing!

I love the art! That's really awesome, especially the shield. As said by other comments the controls feel a bit clunky and take some time to get used to. Some of the hint text disappears a bit fast, which could explain why others found it unclear to return to the starting room and switch the gear.

Also, it is really nice of you that you have added the text to tell you that you've finished the game, I would have kept going on and on. Haha

Nice implementation and art. A little bit frustrating but solid for a jam. GJ!

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Very nice entry, solid artwork and a gameplay mechanic that is reminds me of jump quests in MapleStory. Nostalgia always hits home !

I love the art! I would have enjoyed a bit more variation in equipment, but this was still a fun entry. Great job!
