Very cool concept, and I like the way you presented the time state selection.
Would love to see a version with only 2 or maybe 3 time states if you expand on it. It could become fairly finicky to fix a small mistake shifting between 4 states.
Really enjoyed figuring out the different mechanics of the game! I might have squished myself a few more times than I liked, but loved it!
Just tried out your game—really clever concept! I thought the way the time loop shifts the level design was super interesting. Great job overall!
A really great execution on changing time frames. I especially like the idea of actions affecting the past but not future. The soft music makes me immensed into thinking about the solution, and the changing graphics over time makes me really feel that time is evolving One minor thing though, if you scroll through the time frames without selecting it, the player will still interact with that world, and may sometimes fall off, which feels a little bit frustrating. Also, how does the "time loop" from the latest time frame to the oldest time frame work?
About timeloop, using jam's theme and etc. all I can say is that I came to idea to using one layout in levels, like looping your gameplay to switch between frames and as far as I develop this idea more and more game got more and more far from the theme, so in fact game doesn't actually quite match the theme.
Theme is a bit related to the main idea and the concept of one level and multiple playing it
"You squished yourself!"
This is great! I like how you can see that some things broke and wore away while vines grew in. Also you dug deep and found some deeper mechanics implied by the original concept. Lovely stuff.
Just played your game . really cool idea! I liked how looping time changes the level layout. Nicely done overall :)
I also submitted a game called Death by Marriage, a dark mystery narrative — would love your thoughts if you get the chance!
Not that bad, but here are some suggestions for improvement/things that sucks: - the Zoom in and out by using the time travel takes to long and while that the player cant give any other input, which is anoying. also the most Level feel the same and the seems to have the same solution. Otherwise nice Game. Good Luck to you
Nice and fun. The graphics like the star and background really remind me of little slime blows up from the 2024 game jam. Also, pls check out my game:

Neat idea however I don't know if it really encapsulates the theme (Loop)
I got softlocked in stage like, 5?
I wish the controls would support FR keyboard layout but that's just a bit nit-picky
Too bad when entering TAB mode, the scenes don't actually loop, what a missed opportunity (going to last scene and going further doesn't loop you back to first scene :c)
Also I think I cheesed stage 2 :p
I love this game! good sounds tho
Very Cool
Really good concept! Simple and clean
I did enjoy it.
really cool and fun!
Awesome concept!!!
Well thought out mechanics, simple and clean. i love it
cool concept of level design and that it is essentially a puzzle
nice 2d game. Would u try my game pls https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3774655
Nice game, really fun and cool.
I think concept is nice!! but puzzle are too easy. In the 3rd level, You can complete it just by going to the 3rd slide, 2nd is not even needed
nice game!!
why sometimes u die just for nothing ? T_T
and please switch time on TAB only, without TAB A D
I haven't time to wait every swtiching, it's tooooo long
and Disable Player Controller while switching !!! (char jittering)
concept good, I'll check again tomorrow to see if it's fixed :)
I will fix Player Controller, but i dont wanna change switching controls, cause players can use this mechanic to spam and this will cause more bugs
I will drop update with bug fixes and some new levels and mechanics 1-2 hours before jam submissions will close to dont waste time
I like the mechanics of the game and the way everything crumbles the further in the future you go
great game, can easyly be a finalis
Awesome. There is a bit of a bug where objects 'drift' or move in the future for no seemingly no reason. But overall great.
I will try to fix it in remaining time, if I have enough
Love the Game Concept
I recognized this art style immediatly. It‘s the one from Little Slime blows up!
Yeah, I was inspiring a lot by it
10 out of 10. This Game is amazing :)
Crazy idea, crazy execution. best one i've played in the jam yet
