The Ark
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to The Ark, Commander! For this assignment, you will be a test pilot for the Quantum Repeater, a piece of prototype technology allowing you to loop time and cooperate with past versions of yourself.
Help The Ark project complete its critical objectives!
Use the Quantum Repeater to interact with past "echoes" of your own ship. Cooperate with your past to achieve your future!
My Submission to the Games Jobs Live "Spring" 2025 game jam!
My interpretation of the theme Feedback Loop was a game where you must loop time and coordinate with your past echoes in order to reach your goal -- a time loop and feedback in the sense of using the output of one run of the level as the input to the next run.
Enjoy!
