A short and minimalistic puzzle game where you've gotta move step by step thinking on future iterations.

*BUGFIX*
There was a bug that made the mechanics confusing for many people: a clone does a "double-jump" to go to the first cell and then make the next movement. The thing is that movement happened when they were on any button cell at any time, and not only at their cloned cell at the very same movement of the first cloning.

I'll leave the first project submission so that it is clear that there's no other feature changed!

very cool looking and polished! i do think it could use some better level design as the mechanics feel as though they are thrown at you, ex on the second area i couldn't quite figure out why i was being sent to the start as i was focusing so much on getting the doors to open

so cool!! really fun once i got the hang of it. reminds me of this game i played as a kid on CoolMathForKids called Bloxorz lol. i loved that game. i'm super impressed by your art though!

Great game! art is excellent. Would like to see puzzle design that is harder to solve via trial and error. Overall great game!

Difficult to get my mind around! That's my fault though, not yours.

Really impressive work here. It could use more levels in the future, but what you have here is already impressive for 48 hours.

Nice looking graphics. Clean and simple. Missed audio. I didn't understand the clones movement in the last puzzle but just quick button mashing solved it :P

Really great art style. I wish there was more conveyance of the rules, it never felt like I truly understood what was happening at any given point.

Rhaelser6 Oct 2020, 18:48

Cool game and nice puzzle mechanics! Really like it, great job :v:

Sweet game! I really liked the artstyle and feeling of the game. The mechanics were a bit tricky to understand, I found myself trying to brute force past some of the levels. I definitely think you could expand this into a bigger game!

Le Slo6 Oct 2020, 18:49

I like how the world starts appearing everytime you solve a level, also the art is very good. However it took me a bit to understand what was happening. Despite that, good job!

Pretty cool game. I like the end ))

Having passed all the levels, I did not understand exactly how the mechanic works. Copies behave in an early manner and how to set this behavior is not entirely clear, maybe these are just bugs I don't know.

Great job anyway :star2::star2::star2::star2::star2:

Really nice game, quite challenging tho ^^

Quinn_Patrick6 Oct 2020, 18:51

The visuals here are top notch, great work. As for the game, it's definitely unique. I hesitate to pass judgment on it since it's really too brainy for me, I think. I couldn't really figure it out. It seems like just jimmying it around enough usually works.

Juanv6 Oct 2020, 18:52

I really enjoy your game. the graphics are as amazing as the puzzles. Another thing is great about this game is the introduction to the mechanic.

Noah Kuhn6 Oct 2020, 18:53

A very interesting concept with a good style. I found it was a little difficult to wrap my head around some of these puzzles-- but that's probably a good sign. Good job! :)

Amin_JK0006 Oct 2020, 18:54

nice looking game I didn't understand the clone movements it was hard to understand. great job :)

Seth Tal6 Oct 2020, 18:54

This is a great little puzzle game. I think it could use clearer instructions on what exactly is going on, but once I understood exactly how the "clones" worked I was able to get through most of the game with ease. Nice work!

sampadders6 Oct 2020, 18:54

Super polished game feel! It's fun too. Took me a little while to realise what was happening when I kept getting sent back to the start but that's probably because I'm not that great at puzzle games. Really nice concept here!

azagaya6 Oct 2020, 18:55

I loved the look and the concept. However, sometimes i couldn't say what was happening... At first i thought "ghost" would do what you did previously, but sometimes that didn't happen and i couldn't tell why. I really liked the game, but a short explanation or example would be nice!

Spodthewizard6 Oct 2020, 18:56

difficult to get the hang of but some really good puzzles!

LeGoLaZ6 Oct 2020, 19:40

Interesting mechanics! But puzzles were a bit hard for me :) I love that feature when the next level appeared in the same scene.

FranKarlovic6 Oct 2020, 19:47

I love the peaceful artstyle, seems like a cool game, but I just don't seem to grasp the mechanics and kinda played it by trial and error. Might be just me, but some kind of a tutorial would be helpful.

Edalbung6 Oct 2020, 20:52

Interesting puzzle game concept!

Here are my feedback:

_Positive points
- Good simplistic visual style
- Clever usage of the theme, even if I had hard time with the game x)

_Negative points
- Lack of sounds

Overall: Nice work!

A great game!. very interesting, but iam not convinced by the camera location

mauricioscherer10 Oct 2020, 13:58

Very good puzzles, but at level 3 I just clicked forward and passed. Good Job

dokthar10 Oct 2020, 14:19

Fit's perfectly in the theme, sadly I found this game too difficult as I didn't fully understand how the core mechanics works. The 3d aspect is nice but sometime it get in the way, It would have been great to be able to move the camera !
