Sir Fishbottom and Also Head's TIME MOB by TyrusPeace

[raw]
made by TyrusPeace for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Sir Fishbottom and Also Head had a bit of a time machine mishap. Now he’s stuck in a five second time loop with more and more copies of himself! Perhaps he can get home if he travels through all of these nefarious time portals.

I absolutely love the mechanic! Great idea and fits the theme very well. Thanks for all the fish ;)

Great character art, animation and voice work. Probably one of the best "multiple-yous" style of game I've played this jam thanks to the reset button which makes it less tedious when you see what you need to do to get the answer.

I would say the 3rd (I think) level with the three raising button towers was very tricky, not sure if I did it right or cheesed it.

A very good entry.

Gameplay is really solid, it can get crazy when there's a lot of them. That's part of the fun though! Also the little VO lines are amazing! Awesome work :)

Really funny game. Also really smart to have any of the clones work. Makes the game a lot less frustrating

having the bouncing pads stay on after each round seemed wrong.

HA! oh fun. "blub blub sir"!
The gaggle of mister fishes was intensly satisfying. Really nice progression of mechanics and difficulty. Nice balance there.

Wow that's a brilliant use of the theme. Love the animation and the character too. It's good how you've differentiated between the active player and the clones. Impressive - especially for the time we had.

Hilarious, and so much fun.

I could only be mad at myself, and then laugh, watching all of my previous incarnations all hurrying to the goal and waiting for someone else to do the job!

This is great. Levels could have a better difficulty curve, but otherwise awesome.

Not sure if i love or hate, that you can shove around your past versions, since i keep messing everything up for myself. I love the puzzle mechanic of having to plan in multiple steps and the main character looks really nice.

Cool mechanic and nice puzzles. The narration was nice at the start but got repetitive quite fast. Furthermore, the level progression was rather slow and I would have preferred it if new mechanics were introduced a bit quicker.

@krapht thanks for the feedback, and agreed! That button was special in that it stayed down between loops. It had a different color to differentiate it but I agree that's far from enough to explain such an odd mechanic.

I ran out of time to complete the art for that! I was thinking some special magic-clock-lookin' button. But popup text that said MAGIC TIME BUTTON ACTIVATED would have probably been enough.

A very nice game. This feels properly finished. The music is well-chosen, and the graphics look nice. One day I'll be good at this :)
