made by stuartrules for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

YOU are an extremely sad and lonely time traveler, who wishes that they could go back in time and correct the problems in the past which lead to the ... pitiful, sorrowful, miserable existence, that you have now.

HOWEVER, you accidentally took your time machine to an area of the universe known as The Empuzzled Ministry of The Damned. As such your time machine can only function in traveling back into the past. Where you helplessly witness yourself making the same mistakes over and over and over and over again, like you are stuck in a loop.. eh? get it?

The only way to escape The Empuzzled Ministry of The Damned is to use your past self as a tool to move forward.

Leverage your actions of the past! Enjoy!

Great stuff, reminds me a lot of the VR game Transpose. The mechanic is a lot of fun.

Controls are a bit too slow and unresponsive. Good concept. Keep trying mate.

If it doesn't load for you, give me your browser, graphics card and OS, as I am slightly curious (but not majorly) as to why.

I liked the mechanic itself and the sound design! Also Tardis visual gave me lots of flashbacks xD
I agree with others about controls being a bit stiff but nevertheless a very solid entry!

A very good idea ! i really like the concept of this game. I reach the level 5 and at the end i found it a litle bit repetitive ! However congrats !

The concept was awesome - I had trouble jumping onto the blocks etc as others have mentioned however it seems that those are minor - fixable - issues while the fundamentals of the core mechanic were really solid. Bang on wrt the theme, perfect in that regard. Nice soundtrack and sfx. [@hapticfabric for Classy Bogan Studios]

Nice memories aboout Tardis and Doctor Who! A vivid example how you can stuck in a loop)) it was a little bit hard to jump from one block to another, but all in all I kept on smiling playing this game!!

I really liked the concept of the game !

Here's few thing;
-The controls can be awkward sometimes.
-You can stuck in the corners of the stairs sometimes.

But overall game has cool graphics and sound effects, pretty good game , Great Job !

A very cool game! You took a concept that is quite common used in this jam but with a completely different approach. The only thing I have to criticise is jumping. Especially in the last level where you have to make a precise one but it is just not possible to reproduce consistently without to stuck a side of the moving cube. Anyway, congrats to completing the game and having a tardis in it :D

Nice simple, overall mechanic that fits the theme. :) Unfortunately, the physics/movement was pretty hard to use. Otherwise, congrats on a nice entry :)

I enjoyed the first few levels (up to level 4 I think) but it maybe got a bit samey after that. The mechanics worked pretty well except I assumed I would have to jump on another past self's head to get across some gaps and that felt a bit dodgy in terms of physics (sliding off them).

Good concept and generally well executed with just a few things that could be improved with more time. Well done 👍
