Loopshift

About the Game

A quirky puzzle-platformer made for the GMTK Game Jam 2025! In Loopshift, you and your past selves team up to outsmart doors, gravity, and all kinds of physics twists.

Each level follows a repeating pattern of shifts (like upside-down gravity, reduced gravity, and more), so you’ll always need to think a step ahead and place your clones in the right spots to reach the exit.

Controls

• A and D or arrow keys for left/right movement
• SPACE to Jump
• C to place a Clone and Rewind
• ESC or TAB for the Pause Menu

Tips

• You can see what the next Gravity Shift will be in the top left corner of the screen.
• The maximum amount of Clones is displayed on the top right corner.
• There are 4 types of Shifts: upside down, half gravity, normal and upside down + half gravity (combination).

Our Team

We are three students at a technical college in Austria. We just started learning Godot a few months ago, and this is not only our first Game Jam, but also our first real game (beyond the obligatory Pong and Flappy-Bird clone 😄).

We learned a ton while making Loopshift, and we hope you enjoy playing it. Feedback is always welcome!
