How does your game fit the theme?
One Day to Save Them embraces the "Loop" theme through its 1-minute time loop gameplay, where players relive the same moment to disarm a bomb in a gritty urban town. The innovative "Loop Echoes" mechanic lets players save actions (e.g., interacting with a bulletin board or guard) as echoes, which perform tasks simultaneously in future loops, creating strategic cycles of planning and execution. Each loop builds on past attempts, with echoes looping player actions to solve puzzles faster, perfectly tying the theme to the race against time.

It only gave 15 seconds to me... And I don't seem to be able to interact with anything..? (All it said was every use event destroyed my echoes or something..?)
that god damn interact button. im sorry for my lack of polish
Cool choise of art stile! Coudnt beat it but the concept is good
thats my fault and my issue in game design. but anyway thanks for playing my game
That damned interact button killed the city more times than I can count. But it could never stop me!
that damn button is the really enemy I guess. but anyway thank you soo much for playing my game
Really nice concept, I enjoyed the game, but the interract button should have a larger area effect so its easier to to use. But good job on the game!
I know. its because of my lack of polish but anyway thank you so much for playing my gam
A time loop! But I couldn’t find the bomb…
oh shame. all of them died
Nice job! (:
The game has a basic but cohesive art style, the music and sound effects match the game and the gameplay is ok. Some remarks: I had trouble interacting with objects. I had to stand exactly in front of the interactable to open the dialogue. Also I find it a bit annoying to have the start dialogue with every run. This does not help if you want to get into a flow
thank you for playing my game
i loved the game but damn, that interact button REALLY needs fixing, its super annoying considering the 15 second time limit. but a great time nonetheless.
thank you for playing my game. Im sorry for lack of polish
I DONT GET IT ?
Cool game! As others pointed out I also thought the interaction button was a bit unresponsive, but that didn't stop John from saving the town! The visuals were nice and the echo feature was really nice to have
thank you for playing my game. I took day of from work till finished it and in last minute I couldn't publish it in webgl. I'm sorry for lack of polish
Pretty fun, took me a little bit to get the hang of the controls, but it was still good.
thank you for playing my game
Fun and short game! It was good that you made it so you keep information through the loops so you didn't have to redo the whole thing, however I wish you skipped the sheriff dialogue after you've chosen all dialogue options and that the timer stopped in all dialogue, luckily the echoes helped get me back. Overall great story and 1bit art, and loved the death animation.
It's quite hard to interact with things like talking or going into the house. The convos are kinda funny tho, and I like the art and music tho. Also I would highly recommend to everyone without a web build to create a web build, I know it might be more difficult, but for a game jam, I highly recommend it, since people are lazy and don't want to go through the extra hassle of installing your game. Great work overall, keep it up :D
first of all thanks for playing my game. about web build I tried too but I couldn't publish it correctly and time was short for me. also I couldn't polish the game correctly.
Makes sence, all good!
The concept for the game is really cool, but for me the interaction buttons just felt very inconsistent. Often times I couldn't initiate conversation and I had a lot of trouble even entering buildings. If the gameplay was more fluid I think I'd have been committed in figuring out the correct echo placement to find the bomb.
thank you for playing my game
I tried my best but couldn't find the bomb : (
its because i didn't polish the game better. but anyway thanks for playing
Loved the mechanic and graphics, well done!
I exploded :(
Impressive 😍
