This is just the .exe, it's not running on its own. It's asking if the .pck file is missing.

Sorry my bad. I have uploaded the pck. file now. Thank you for notifying me

Since this is your first Game Jam is fair enough make mistakes, but I think I've should tell you them, so you can improve your next one!

-Without a reset button I've had to close and open your game to clear my failed attempt;

-I didn't understand why you called it "loop" a thing that is clearly only a clone, if it's just to fit the theme, you should've know that the theme is only an "direction", not mandatory;

-I've played the same levels about 3 time to make sure that was no "plot" involved, so I think you should've establish an end to the game, otherwise people will vote as "incomplete"

Anyways, it was a good attempt, wish you good luck!

Thank you for your feedback!!. About the reset, I wanted to implement one but didn't get the time.

Nice game for a first game jam. The visuals are simples but they work i guess. The idea is interesting although not so original(a group of friends of mine are doing something similar and they found a lot of games doing different versions of this but this may be inevitable in a jam this big). A feedback is to make explicit that the clones don't obey the gravity laws.

Really great idea and art design. Music was extremely good. Please link your OST somewhere. Wish there were more levels!

Awesome idea! I love the implementation of looping and leaving a block as a platform. Too bad it's short, but at least it's short but sweet!

Ah yet another Godot game! Took me a second to figure out the loop idea, but it's pretty intuitive and fun to play. I only wish there were more levels, it would've probably be more worthwhile to spend more time on making different arrangements with the basic two elements than implementing the teleoport thingy that is kinda redundant since you can just make a sky bridge.

Definitely some possibility for fun future expansion. The music was good so if that was your own I definitely applaud it. I agree that some more levels with the basic mechanics would have been good and while the portals are fun that level doesn't even need the "loop" mechanic to beat.

The concept is cool and got me thinking about platforming in ways that I'm not used to. The music is phenomenal. I am disappointed in how short it is, though, and I wish that the levels utilized the "loop" mechanic better.

Cool premise! It’s fun once you get the hang of it. The portal mechanic was interesting, though the implementation seemed a little off—wherever I landed on one portal, I emerged at the left edge of the other, which made it hard to use it for platforming. Great music as others have said. Nice work.

Cool gadot game.. I liked the post processing / bloom.. The default audio is a bit too loud in my opinion.
