Afterself
Read full descriptionHide full description
Each loop lasts just a few seconds. When it ends, time rewinds… and your echo repeats exactly what you did. Afterself is a puzzle platformer about cooperating with yourself. Press a plate so your future self can cross, climb on the head of your own echo, use it as a shield against lasers, or anchor a loop to keep it forever. Plan across time, one loop at a time — but careful: if you block the path of your own past, you create a paradox. • 20 handcrafted levels in 4 chapters: Echo, Weight, Body and Paradox • 16 time mechanics: timed doors, light curtains, weight plates, lasers, green beams, phase glass, fragile bridges and more • Anchor, Retry loop and Undo echo: experiment without fear • Online leaderboard with three boards: First clear (did you solve it on your first try?), All-time (your best score) and Time (for speedrunners) • Share your records with a single tap • 6 languages: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Italian • Short sessions, perfect for your phone • No ads. No account needed: the leaderboard only uses a nickname you choose Every level has one clean solution — and several clever ones. Can you reach the top? More at playafterself.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Afterself at none against Patrick's Journey's shown. Afterself also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
