LudumData

Z Loop Ribbon by NuSan

[raw]
made by NuSan for LD27 (COMPO)
Use THREE.js (WebGL/HTML5)
Use Chrome/Firefox
Maybe an touch device version tomorrow (Android).

You will play 5 characters, 10s each.
After each session, time will rewind
and you play a new character, while
clones redo your previous actions.

The 5th character is different, he will place
a new spawn point at the end of his session.

No end goal, sorry. Have fun anyway.

Use arrow keys + mouse clic/motion

Edit : added a post-compo version, with small changes :
- window resize work much better
- added inertia to camera and characters
- Android version

I think I reached the bottom! Yay?
Neato animations. Shame with no end-goal, I think this could have been fun.

Nice concept, would be neat to see it developed more. Needs audio and possibly a health bar or a hit animation (wasn't sure why sometimes I died and didn't at first). I could see some interesting puzzles where you have to use previous clones to clear the way for later clones.

Original idea. Unfortunately it seems you didn't finish. You still have time time for the Jam!

I also have a nexus 4 and it work well, try with latest Chrome version or Firefox beta. THREE.js add difficulties with Chrome for Android until recently. Thanks for the testing anyway!

Nice art and animation, and cleaving through enemies(?) with the attack is really satisfying.

Ahhhh, so these are clones! I thought it is multiplayer. Also... W S A D

Time clones are cool. I wish there was a game to this, though.

Cool concept, I liked the way the clones repeated your actions, and how the last guy gives you a new spawn location. Adding some type of scoring would have really improved it I think. So you could use your clones in a smart way to get a higher score.

Cool idea, too bad there isn't any goal, some short story, points, anything.

Looks really cool.
I am sure that you can come up with some kind of goal with this mechanics, which could make it a great game.

Pretty cool, would have been nice if there was more of an objective. I enjoyed the animations and particle effects. Also, WASD would have helped laptop players... not that I counted that against you. I hope too see a more developed version.

Is nice to see another entry with this kind of playback feature. We are in a post-Braid era :)
