About

Ben is just a regular platformer game character, except he is stuck in a time loop. Every 5 seconds he will respawn at the original spawnpoint.

Each change made to the map (like flipping a switch or collecting an ability) remains done after his respawn. Meaning, he can follow the same path again but those changes might allow taking new routes and so on...

Help Ben escape by finding the exit within the time limit and breaking the loop.

This game was made for the GMTK Game Jam 2025 hosted by Game Maker's Toolkit
