Concept
Layers of time is a puzzle game where you play in cooperation with your past & future self to solve puzzles where time loops and you start over every X seconds.
Each loop you'll play along a ghost of the inputs you made on the previous loops and try with them to solve the level.
Key features
Time loops levels
Multiple loops playing at the same time with ghosts of the player's previous loops helping them
Play with physics
Funny stupid ghosts replicating whatever you did
Developers notes
It was tough ! Github decided to break our project 4 hours before the end so yeah the game could have been better.
Lots of sweat and blood to make it, but it went ok, we are very proud of the strong loop and ghost inputs systems we integrated.
We made this game with Dylan BROUSSE and Clément COLMERAUER for the Ludum Dare 47.
We want to add more levels, gameplay and juiciness. We’ll continue to work on this game and add more features. You can follow the game & us on social networks to have updates!
If you run into a bug or find a cool way to solve a level don't hesitate to tell us!
We invite you to play the post Jam fix version, we added visual, audio and sensory feedbacks and corrected typos, but of course the Jam version works very well too.

- Sometimes the ghost inputs are not 100% precise, resulting in not exactly the same outcome.
