Welcome... TO THE FUTURE!
A future where humans are no longer bound by the fact that there is only one of each individual! A future where you can record copies of yourself to repeat tedious tasks! We can only make recordings that last 10 seconds, that's due to certain limitations in hamster short term memory and the amount of actual electricity one can yield out of a sack of lemons... but darn it! It's progress!
Take control of Marco, the Macro Machine operator. Use multiple copies of yourself to make it through all 8 levels of this deceptively tricky puzzle platformer.
CONTROLS
W, A, S, D / Cursor Keys - Move Marco around
Space - Jump
Ctrl - Use switches, doors, Macro machines
Macro was made in 72 hours by six members of RetroEpic Software.
Members:
Keith Boshoff (programming & level design)
Niki Boshoff (programming & level design)
Xavier Knox (music and sound effects)
Paul Lombard (art & level design)
Theunis "Yuun" Lombard [no relation, related to the Boshoffs though... it's complicated] (asset wrangler & level design)
Brendon "Noobs" Smuts (project champion, programmer & level design)
Made with Unity3D, Photoshop, Pro Motion, Garage Band, Audacity and very little sleep.

amazing mechanics, perfectly adjusted jumping as well
loved every second of it - didn't expect anything less from you :)
Great idea, solid puzzle.You guys really done a good job :)
Good puzzles and macro concept. Also th graphics were quite nice.
Love it. Really like the little guy's animation, especially when he's clinging to walls :D Great gameplay, great sound. ^.^
Very very good mecanism! Nice take on the theme with that "player playback".
Very good stereo audio too.
very nice art style and awesome music, if a bit vague on the theme. Overall solid mechanics, well done.
I can't give this a 5 for humor, but in every other category, this earns solid 5s across the board. This is easily among the top 5 LD entries I've ever played. The graphics are perfect, the physics are perfectly implemented, the puzzles are genuinely fairly difficult, and the soundtrack is perfect. Good job, team!
Wow great puzzles! Very well thought out gameplay and great level design! The platforming and movement felt "right." Good visuals and an awesome soundtrack make a complete package! Great game guys!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Loved this one, guys! Good work. Great puzzles and interesting game play!
