Getting Over It Together with... Myself!
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a game I made in 48 hours for GMTK 2021
Solve platformer puzzles together with the 2-second-earlier version of yourself!
Will your past self / "your old me" be helpful or pain in your a**?
=================================================
**[Important] Known Issues:**
In level3, there should be one more save point in that level, but I forgot to add it during the jam, which makes it extremely difficult to pass level3. If you get stuck there, you can either watch the video on the right side on how to pass that, or you can edit [./GTIWMS_Data/save.txt] to skip level3. Sorry about this.(Fixed in the post-jam version)- If you get stuck at a level or don't have enough time to play all the levels, feel free to watch the walkthrough videos on the right side.
Also, every time you encounter a puzzle in game, there will be a tiny little story hidden on the background tiles(see the picture below). These stories are not necessary to pass the levels, but if you like reading stories or if you need a little hint, you can have a read at them.
=================================================
[Mechanics] (This information is also in game)
Level1: Your past self exists as a phantom and cannot interact with this world
Level2: Your past self can press buttons
Level3: Touching your past self will get you killed
Level4: Press [Shift] to temporarily make you past self an entity in this world
Level5: Your past self will always be an entity in this world

very enjoyable, would love to see a few more levels and a bit of polish. Reminds me of the game "The company of myself", which is awesome.
Thank you very much! Definitely gonna keep working on this in a post-jam version. As for the game "The company of myself", there are definitely some similarities, but I think that game is more like recording your action and then playing it back together with your current self, whereas in my game, players are more like having to take care of both yourself and your past simultaneously, which I think are quite different game experience.
Awsome..!
If I can, I wanna have a 2"-earlier version in my real life. Although it is only two seconds, I think I can meet my 2–year-earlier version by sending a message.
Ha...make sense
