I really like the aesthetic; very simple art and animations really, but powerful and used well! And any time a game has time reversal/playback, I think it's pretty cool. Pretty fun!

I love the idea of the life point getting some physics when loose ! the juicyness of the game is top tier ! it's such a shame to have no sound or music to back it up, but in a solo jam, it's always easy to ask for more ! A good game in term of mechanics and really rich !

This is an amazing game, the animations are amazing and it ties into the theme really well, good job!

Really great idea, plays very well. Definitely an 'aha' moment when Green joined. Did you try with 4 players and it was too chaotic? I think you should add some wall/barricades to the bottom level, after a bit I realized you can just put all the players on the bottom and it becomes quite easy. Still very fun, especially when trying to pull off cool kills. Great work!

Amazing concept and execution, and I love the art style a ton! Love touch to the game!

I find two problem with a 4th player @fronwewq. Indeed it was too chaotic, and i have to extends the duration to each loop for be playable :/ but if i extends the duration, it'll be a bit boring when there are only two player.

Thanks @r3l0ad1, @gingerbill and @ukulelefury :)

Incredible! Did not read the game description at first so the mechanic was a shock! Good job on the programming too.

steambrain 2020-10-05 22:41

Execution is incredible! Start is a bit slow(until you get green to join) And it becomes simple very fast(you just have to leave yourselfes certain spots for easy kills at some points) Also strange bug? It seems green sometimes just laid on his back while being alive but not doing anything.

becher 2020-10-05 22:51

@steambrain hum maybe he die during is turn. If is that, record keep his dead.

gingerbill 2020-10-05 23:13

I am commenting again because this has seriously become my favourite game here so far. Playing against yourself becomes more challenging.

theepsi 2020-10-06 08:25

Really nice job guys!! I was thinking I was doing "ok" then I got pwnd by myself XD. Awesome idea and very well executed!

marcusuke 2020-10-06 08:26

The game starts being really fun and challenging when green comes! We had a similar idea, but we didn't know what mechanics to make especifically, so I'm glad someone was able to make it. Really nice, congrats!

jrevel 2020-10-06 13:23

What a clever idea ! and really well executed !

2020-10-06 14:33

Well, that's bloody brilliant!

mirakazumi 2020-10-06 17:00

and this is a good simply game! i would play it in the bus on phone everyday :cowboy: we also did platforms but yours are bloody good

los 2020-10-06 17:08

A really nice idea, well executed! I liked it ;)

pfs 2020-10-06 17:09

I love this idea. Well done!

rebecca-harrison 2020-10-06 17:15

Very fun game! Unique and definitely fits the theme. I'd have loved to have seen it get crazy with many many characters.

becher 2020-10-06 17:18

Ah ah yes @rebecca-harrison. Only problem with more character is duration of loop. But maybe i'll try to add more feature later ;)

forgeronstudio 2020-10-06 17:24

Really fun game! Green joined right when I started getting the hang of the mechanics

anomay 2020-10-06 17:31

Coooooool!!

Not only repeat, but also fight, this idea makes it challenging

I love the scene "Green Join the Loop" with spotlight

The pity is that after several rounds, the battle will become either very complex, or very simple....

becher 2020-10-06 17:36

Yes @anomay, game difficulty is based on chaos you create trying to kill other character... so when you find a kind of order it became realy simple

avatargreggles 2020-10-06 17:39

Yoooooo! This is so so so cool!!!! I love the effect when time reverses! This hits the theme spot on! Congrats!

endeavour2150 2020-10-06 17:39

I love the idea and i'd love to see that game taken farther, it's already really fun :)

verbante 2020-10-06 20:17

Fun game :) I also loved the green intro! I also interpretted the theme as a never ending time loop I wonder how common was that

patrikherman 2020-10-06 21:21

Love it! I wish there was some cool hyped music, but the execution and concept are fantastic nevertheless.

laurari 2020-10-08 17:29

it is so fun, but it is hard to fight against yourself xD loved the green intro :heart_eyes:

almost 2020-10-11 05:20

Cool idea! Being totally silent is unfortunate, it makes the shooting feel a bit less impactful. I liked the bouncy animations and visual effects. I lost track of which color I was playing a few times, which was confusing.
