Good game, but truly annoying. I used to like my old selves -while I was playing The Company of Myself- but this game made me hate them.

Nice idea, but awful controls and buggy with no save game. It's deeply frustrating to get past some difficult levels just to find you're stuck and can't progress further without restarting.

I, too, ran into the bug where upon entering the first "Collect all your old selves" level, nobody showed up and I was unable to play any further. :\

I love how the second part of the game was tailored exclusively to my in-game actions. I had to re-engage with my own play style and I was like, "wow, really? wtf did I do that?" Which, of course, is part of the theme of the game - self-reflection. Really a masterwork of a game.

There needs to be a reset button. It's a small hassle to have to run into my own clone to restart when I mess up, and on the second half there was a glitch where the orange people didn't show up and I had to start all the way over.

The trick is to run around in a small section of the map, then move slightly beside that, so that your past self can't reach you, repeat until time runs out.

I slid down the middle of the hourglass, now its impossible to complete on the way back..... sigh, still a great game

So many times, an arrow key that was working fine would suddenly send my careening back in the opposite direction, causing me to fail a level. It would be all too kind to call the wall jumping mechanics "flimsy", as stated in a previous comment.

The controls for this game simply do not work. I appreciate the effort, but for once I would like for the character to jump when I tell him to and in the direction I want.

It's really rare that a game is great. A great game presents interesting, fun, and unique gameplay all at once. For every hundred crappy games, there's a good one, and for every hundred good games, there's a great one. For a game to have interesting, fun, and unique gameplay, but also have a theme which actually means something, have an emotionally meaningful point, and completely change the player's conception of the game is something else. This game is completely unlike anything I've ever played, and I thank you for it.

It's embarrassing playing this game for the first time in public. When I collided with my past self and died for the first time, I made the mistake of yelling out "OMG. I CAN'T TOUCH MYSELF." I don't think I'm welcome in Starbucks anymore.

Wow, that was an awesome game. I don't see anywhere where it could be improved except the occasional wall-jump mess-up. 5/5 and faved. :)

Wow..Greg actually speaks. The flow has been a bit slow lately? Well if you want to put it in those terms..sure, it's been "slow". It's nice to see you at least doing something about it finally. There's thousands of good games that could be badged. This is a good start to getting back what this place used to be Greg.

The characters really is a pain in the ass to control. You can't stop him in the air, sometimes his jumps are ridiculously small, some other times they are huge and you cross almost the entire screen in a single jump and you have to start again. This kills all the fun.

Easiest way to complete it, double back on yourself just run back in forth in a small section until your past selves catch up, move a bit, repeat. Still way too hard for a medium badge though.

Game pretty much... isn't much fun. Concept is ok, but the game just hurts. Controls don't always respond, the timing is just preposterous... possible, but painful.

The badge shouldn't be a Medium badge, it should be an Annoying badge due to the extremely touchy jump system and pointless move and jump in place, move and jump in place requirement for completing levels. Thus, it's not a medium badge, but a tedious and annoying badge.

Something needs to be changed about the jump controls. I keep getting so close to finishing and then he decides to jump in the complete wrong direction because I slightly touched the edge of something. I only beat this in the end because I was so awful at jumping the first time round.

I really love the idea. The controls and certain levels just kill it for me. I mean. Maybe not kill it, but certainly take it from something I'd really enjoy to something that just kills time at this point. The wall jumps are not stable, the controls are clunky, and certain levels (compounded with these control problems) make the game more frustrating than enjoyable. If I know how to beat a level and the controls are holding me back, then that's just not fair on your part. 3/5.

It's not that hard. Time stops when you are standing still on a flat surface, so you can plan your moves and think about what you are doing. A good strategy for burning time before the door opens is to keep moving just a bit and jumping straight up and down on flat surfaces, no risk of being caught and it makes it far easier on the return path.
