Repeat Robot

First LD maker here as well! Nice game!

Some quick feedback:

S key for loop repeat is in very bad position as I constantly think It's for making platform or hovering. Maybe other key would be an option?

Could not get past 2nd level as my 'ghosts' started their movement with slight offset, going in completely different directions than they were recorded at.

That's it!

It's so satisfying seeing your robot army execute the plan you carefully set up over several iterations. I had no technical hiccups and the levels had a good size and difficulty.

I really wish there were more levels but hey, this is Compo :D You could totally expand this in the future though!

Pretty good, especially for your first jam.

I think a button for erasing your last ghost would be very useful if you messed up or dawdled while you were looking through the level.

I really like the backgrounds for the levels, but the tiles are a bit bland and I think the ghosts could have some kind of transparency effect to make it a bit easier to see what's going on.

Overall, a solid entry, well done!

Fun concept, well executed. Like the others, my biggest gripe is the controls. I pressed space bar to jump quite a few times, and was probably lucky that I heeded someone's warning above about staying away from the "S" button. I liked your graphics too.

Pretty good! But for me the description of the controls was wrong, it's SPACE to hover/make a platform, not 'H'. Took me a while to figure that out :)

Very nice game!
