The Company of Myself is a beautiful conceptual game developed by Eli Piilonen and sponsored by Games Free. A heartwarming game with clean cut graphics expanding the mechanic seen on Chronotron.
All of your actions, until you hit the spacebar, are being recorded, as though by an invisible video camera. As soon as you reset the clock, the level starts anew, except now there's a phantasmal double of yourself scurrying about, re-enacting your first playthrough move for move. Press the spacebar again, and add another doppelganger to the mix, this one also moving according to the steps you laid out. Some levels will place a restriction on the number of ghostly clones you can conjure, and these are the levels where you'll have to see just how adeptly you can work with...well, yourself.
Level 2 - Walk to the right again, jumping over the platforms.
Level 3 - Hop across the platforms and reach the exit.
Level 4 - Walk to the right wall. Hit space to reverse time. Jump on the shadows head and walk to the right.
Level 5 - Walk to the edge of the platform, and then hit space. Walk to the edge of the platform and jump on your shadows head and get to the next pillar. Hit space. Wait for the second shadow to get onto the pillar and then use it to get to the next pillar, hit space. Repeat until you can reach the top pillar and then go to the goal.
Level 6 - Jump across the gap, and keep walking right for about 10 seconds. Hit space. This time go down the gap and move to the lever and hit A to use it.
Level 7 - Move over the platform to the right, and stand in the middle of it. Hit space. Move to the left and use the lever.
Level 8 - Keep walking right for about 5 seconds and then hit space.
Level 9 - For this one you can try to time your jumps as if you were going up the stairs, or you can just jump and move right a bunch of times until you think you'd be at the top, then hit A. Walk to the exit and wait for your shadow to use the lever.
Level 10 - Walk off the cliff and drop down. Wait there for a second, and then walk across to the other side. Hit space. Drop down on your shadows head, and stand there while he walks across. Then hop to the exit.
Level 11 - This time do the same thing as last time but in reverse order. Wait a second, then drop down and wait until you WOULD be across and hop to the exit. Hit space. Drop down and wait until your shadow is on your head, walk across and wait for him to hop to the exit.
Level 12 - For this one you will have to pull the levers in order with your first shadow, and time it so when you go you jump across the platforms. To do it I just jumped before I pulled each lever as an indicator when to jump off the platform.
Level 13 - Walk to the goal with the Male, hit space. Walk to the goal with the female.
Level 14 - Have the male go on one side pulling each lever, and the female go on the other side, pulling all her levers.
Level 15 - Move the male to the wall and have the female jump on him and then pull the lever. Repeat.
Level 16 - Use the male as a way to get the female to the black lever, but don't pull it yet. Move the male down and beside the black wall. Pull the black lever with the female. Have the male pull the pink lever and then move to the exit. Move the female to the exit.
Level 17 - Have the female pull the pink lever. Have the male pull the black lever and go to the exit.
Level 18 - Walk to the lever, wait a few seconds and then pull it. Jump to the flower, and then hit space. Jump up the platforms and wait for your shadow to pull the lever and walk to the goal.
Level 19 - For this one just keep walking right and jumping. When you hit the wall hit space. Eventually enough shadows will make it across that you can jump on them.
Level 20 - Repeat the same thing as last time. just keep walking right and jumping. Sooner or later you or a shadow will make it across.
