Block Pushing Puzzle Game But You Can Time Travel - sokoban-like game with time warps I made this!
A puzzle game I made. Push the crates to the goal squares, making use of the handy time warps provided, but don't let your past self see you!

I literally have no idea what's going on in this. Is the other guy doing my moves from earlier?

Yes, there are no "other guys", just your past selves

So, when do they appear? And where?

I think maybe I've got the frame of reference wrong. Or something. I love the idea, I just can't wrap my head around how it works.

Thanks!
For what it's worth, I did try for some sort of learning curve. Game design is hard.

It's fine. Creating a learning curve for dullards like me must be incredibly frustrating.

I got to level 6

insteresting idea, although I dont fully understand it/ get it, you need more easier/ learning levels to begin with

I mean, it's a puzzle game
Wouldn't be much good if you weren't puzzled

Reached level 7 then paradoxically couldn't progress

Crazy.

Ah, you can use the time warp more than once...

now on 7, and stuck

Yes, but having two extra 'me' didn't seem to help
I get the need to match movement and timing but couldn't make it to the far end

A lot of people seem to not be noticing that you can press space to stand still
if that helps

feels like every other key press is space!!

Got that
and that you can use same block twice but like others, I can't do 7

This is superb
and I'm stuck on 7.

That's a great concept
But oh my god my head hurts! I want to get up the learning curve so much but I'm not going to have the time any time soon.

it's good
but the learning curve is too steep, and I could muddle through the first few levels without really understanding the lessons, so I hit a brick wall at 7.
