Overloop

Overloop is a puzzle-platformer built around recording and looping your own movement, then interacting with past actions as physical entities in the same level. Players coordinate their current self with stacked ghost recordings to solve timing-sensitive environmental puzzles. Mechanical complexity escalates as recordings accumulate and must interact with each other and the environment simultaneously.
