I had too many other things going on this weekend... and didn't have enough time to fully implement the idea I wanted. So this is more of a loose sketch/prototype of that.

You play as a broken hearted soul, longing to get his love back.

You can summon memories of your 'past'.

You can attempt to use these memories to reach the end of the level, being reunited with your love. Hopefully winning her back this time.

(Plays better on a controller, but you can use keyboard or controller).

Xbox Controller:

Joystick = Move
A = Jump
X = Summon memory
X = Destroy current memory
Y = Replay memory

Keyboard:

Arrow Keys = Move
Space = Jump
X = Summon memory
X = Destroy current memory
Z = Replay Memory
Genres: platformer
Tools: Unity

Even thought it's unfinished I really liked the idea. Looking forward to your progress with this project! :)

The concept is really cool. Game has a cool look too. I really would have liked to play more levels, but I think it's a successful entry and a neat way to use the theme.

This is a great concept! I love games with mechanics like this, you're definitely onto something! :)

Really cool idea and the visuals and sound set the mood perfectly. Took me quite a few tries to cross that gap. It was quite mind bending sometimes which part of my past I was reliving. Would be cool to be able to summon multiple memories or to have memories within memories!

Yes, it is great concept. I’d like to see more levels since I have enjoyed this one.

Made me feel completely incompetent (in a good way).

Interesting idea! Do you plan to develop further this? I think you should!

It's a shame you didn't have time to finish the project in a slightly more concrete way, because the idea was interesting. It reminds me a bit of that platformer where you could manipulate time to overcome levels, but now I can't remember its name. The style and gameplay are really cool, and I think you shouldn't give up on the project! Thanks anyway for sharing it even in this embryonic phase!

I liked the charming and moody art style. Memory summoning is an interesting mechanic and has potential to create intricate platforming puzzles. The gameplay is surprisingly challenging. I encountered some minor bugs involving summoned memory which is understandable for a jam game. Good job!

The music and visuals is pretty good. The idea is fun, but the game feels a bit unfinished.
