Thanks a lot — I’d love to expand on this and polish it up post-jam!
Fun fact: the original idea was actually set in a research facility where you’d shift between alternate timelines to solve puzzles — same space, slightly different realities. It was less maze-like and more about noticing subtle changes. I had to scale it down a lot due to time, but the sideways-looping mechanic survived!
Thanks so much! Really glad you liked the concept and the visuals!
Yeah, spawning into lasers is definitely rough 😅 — I originally leaned into that risk as part of the “unknown timeline” challenge, but I totally get how a preview or warning would help. Also, thanks for pointing out the level-start pause thing — that one slipped past me during the rush.
Appreciate the kind words and the detailed feedback! 🙏
Thanks a lot! I’m really glad you enjoyed the concept. I totally get what you mean about being able to go back — it would definitely make navigation smoother, even if it bends the whole "sideways loop" idea. Unfortunately, I can’t update anything until the jam ends, and I didn’t get to playtest the web version as much as I wanted — ran out of time near the end 😅. Appreciate you pointing out the pause menu bug though — I’ll make sure to fix it post-jam!
Nailed the 3D atmosphere. Couldn't get anywhere but i guess that's just me lol. I too tried for a 3d atmosphere but failed miserably, so i really love yours.
Thanks so much! Glad the concept clicked with you — I had a lot of fun interpreting the theme in a slightly different way 😊
Fun fact: this is actually a simplified version of a bigger idea I had, where you’d shift between timelines inside a research facility, solving mysteries across slightly different versions of the same space. Might still revisit that someday!
Thanks a ton! Really appreciate you checking it out — 4D Fez is honestly a perfect comparison

The sci-fi vibe was kind of accidental, to be honest — mostly just a result of me not having many assets 😅 But I’m glad it still came through in a cool way.
Totally fair on the slowdown and pause menu — it was my first time exporting to web from Godot, and I rushed it at the last moment, so it turned out pretty unoptimized. Definitely learned a lot for next time.
Originally, the game was set in a semi-open research facility with a slightly confusing but navigable layout. The core idea was still about jumping between timelines — you'd shift between slightly different versions of the same space to find paths, solve puzzles, and uncover what changed. Looping sideways wasn’t just a mechanic — it was how you made progress.
It was a cool concept, but also pretty complex and time-consuming to make. So I trimmed it down to focus on what works best for now.
Maybe one day I’ll return to the original version — but for now, I hope you enjoyed this loop!
