It appears that the second level isn't possible (or I'm too stupid lol). The small part of the game I could see was very cool. I really liked the time rewind mechanic though I wouldve preferred if my other selves would have been collidable

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but after the third level there is no continuation I just fall down. The art design and sound are cool!

Great presentation and an original idea. Great job!

Excellent game! Really loved the graphics, the gameplay, fits the theme perfectly and a very nice concept. Good job!

All in all super nice game, really well done!

Good stuff:

- Very atmospheric, great lighting and mood - the audio complements the game well! - Nice levels! - Impressive that you got in a proper tutorial too!

Suggestions:

- Character controls is pretty hard to work out.

Bugs:

2nd level: The second level is possible to solve @gerolmed, but you need to jump in the corner, respawn, jump on the head of your clone, to reach the button, then respawn again to walk out the door.

#### 3rd level bug - stuck on bookshelf puzzle I did however get stuck on the 3rd level where the bookshelf didn't move even though I pressed the trigger button on the floor - but maybe I just misunderstood how it works.

Good work with perfect machanics. The concept that your last shadow fades and that you have time limits works really well. Unfortunately I got stuck at level 3 because I could not find the lever and the button didn't seem to work :(

Very polished entry. Well done. Nice use of cinematics for tutorial. I figured out what to do so fast. The graphics are suiting, controls are easy, the replay mechanic is well done. I think it would be better if the clone stays there even after the time you "resummoned" yourself because right now they just disappear, makeing it harder to speedrun :sweat_smile:

Impressive! Super original, good use of the theme and very nice looking.

At first, I didn't notice the door at right (since camera follow the active player) I took time to find out what happened when pressing the button at level 2.

I think texts are auto-skipped to fast (may be should wait for a key pressed). Failed to read the tuto text. But I figure out the key by trying. I don't think the E key is mentionned. Then I took time to pull the lever at level 3. Maybe it should appear in some way when several clones are necessary to press a tile…

It force a good time management that clone disappears at summoning. Do I save time for the rest of the loop or do I keep it here a few more second if I fail to jump on his head with the next clone at fist try. I think it is a good implementation choice.

I really enjoyed this game.

I love the idea and the game's beautiful, so it's painful for me to say that I couldn't finish it. The controls are clunky and many parts of the level are sometimes working, sometimes not (especially boxes). Combined with the lack of a reset button (sometimes I have to wait a whole minute to start again) and it's enough frustrating. Sooo, the good parts now! Fantastic models and pretty lighting and the music theme is very funkey. Funny dialogs, characters and the story. The tutorial part is very fun! Please tell me what YABS stands for. Yet Another... BS? ^^

Nice idea! Good visuals and sounds. It's cool that you managed to add a tutorial in limited jam time.

Controls feel a little weird. I maight have missed it, but a restart level would also be nice, in case the player breaks the sequence.
