TimeBot

Hi, the mac version doesn't work for me. I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.6 and the app simply refuses to open for some reason.

Cool idea about "r" to reload yourself.

Pretty decent level design, love the music.
One thing, it the bot supposed to stuck on walls? it not, try to remove the friction on the sides.

I enjoyed how the main mechanic could be used for many purposes, and your level design did a great job at showcasing that. One thing that bothered me was the explosion sound playing multiple times when you destroyed multiple bots (it scared me the first time haha). Great compo entry, nice work.

Nice graphics, intuitive controls, the levels were fun but you had to think a bit here and there.

It feels so satisfying to beat the final level as well :D

Good job!

Good puzzle game. I loved the lasers and button mechanic! I played it through and I like how you showcase the mechanic. I thought the last level was really hard. Maybe I did it wrong haha but dropping your box down and trying to get to the end before it hits the button was like dang! I am glad you had instructions built in your game. Also checkpoints were very nice.

Great entry its amazing you did this COMPO!

Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on 10/6. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://tinyurl.com/yy4oycvv

Wow nice job! The game is very fun! Very good implementation of the theme!

I'm impressed at the puzzle design! Interesting concept! Physics were a bit wonky, I think, but especially for a Compo, this was great!

Cool puzzle game, liked the concept and the level design.. good job 👍👍

liked the grid, the reset, and the funny box. Couldn't figure out level 9. Got stuck not knowing how to pass one of the beams. there was one that was blocking the down path and one blocking the right path. :-)

Nice game! Impressive design and a really thought out concept! well done!

Great game! I like the mechanic of relying on your clones. The Audio and Graphics are Great. You pulled off the tutorial very nicely. Fits the theme well, my only complaint is the tutorial text, The text is pixelated, and the second part of the tutorial the text dosen't show up all the way, maybe you could scale down the text without the pixelation?

Overall, Great game.

Really enjoyed playing a similar game to the one that I made! A small change to the looping mechanic makes it a completly different game

The game is well designed and I like how you used played with platforming and the mechanic. A nice entry for a compo, and the in-game tutorial was well done! One of the few games where the controls felt good and intuitive!

Nicely done! The text was a little blurry, and the collision of the player was extremely unreliable, but I really enjoyed it! The first eight levels were easy for me, but the last level... good puzzle. That really got me until I figured out the perfect sequencing and the clue in the name.

Fun game, liked the music. I Had a few troubles with the last stage but once I figured it out I had to chuckle!

This was great! Love puzzle games and this was a clever one. Removing clones as part of solving stages was really well done. Especially enjoyed the very last stage before the end. Could definitely play more of this! Cool music and straightforward graphics, the beams really do look lethal! Nice work! 💪

Really solid compo entry! Obviously controls are a bit sloppy with various collision issues, but generally speaking they didn't get in the way too much. Good job on the puzzle design, made good use of the game mechanics!

I'd certainly appreciate a rating on my game as you said on your blog post! :smiley:

The idea is very interesting and fun to play! The controls felt a little bit sluggish, but maybe it's just me. With some polish it could be a great full game

Cool game! Idea is interesting, but the core platforming mechanics definitely need more polish. You can get stuck in walls by moving towards them. Platforming seems like a simple genre to use as a base, but there is a ton of work required to get it polished and nice. If there is sluggish controls or movement, that will get in the way of enjoying the other ideas you added on.
Additionally, I think you should work to create puzzles that use the mechanics of duplicating yourself in new ways. The first couple all relied on building a bridge or building a ladder. Even a well polished version with a fun puzzle will need variation on the mechanics to maintain interest. This has to come from new applications of the mechanic or more mechanics.
Great work!

Very solid entry, high respect and regard as always to anyone who submits something complete in all regards for the compo. The concept, whilst not an original one, is solid and works well, and your talent for level design shines through it.

Whilst I think there's limited value in repeating what othersh ave said, it's worth stating nonetheless given our discussions in stream - the first improvement I would make is of course to fix the physics materials so you can no longer get stuck to walls or, indeed, your former corpses (do robots leave corpses?) as that certainly made my progress in the finale more difficult. You could also stand to amp up acceleration and max speed and ramp up the gravity to make the controls feel more tighter and more responsive.

The graphics are likely the weak point of the game, and as we discussed their improvement and replacement could really serve the game feel a lot.

Loved the music, I didn't realise they were random variations that were chosen between each loop, but I'm glad you told me because I love that, and that you had time to do that. Excellent stuff.

Overall, really solid entry. Well done. I hope you learned lots during it.

Es un bonito juego, muy divertido y didáctico. ¡Felicidades! 😊
