How does the game fit the theme?
You are a clone. You are expendable. If you die, another will take your place. Nothing can go wrong because there are infinite 'you's to continue. A game about clones and using them to solve puzzles.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used More Mountain’s Top Down Engine as a base for our game, particularly relying on their top down character controller and Cinemachine Camera controllers. We used free sfx and a free music soundtrack. All visual art assets were made from scratch.

How many people worked on the game?

I like the concept and it's really a funny idea.

One thing I didn't like that after a while the dead bodies disaperead. Somehow that made it feel less like a thinking game and more like an action game.


Graphics and Sounds are pretty neat :)

The bodies were very finnicky to get onto a button or block a laser. It was pretty cool anyways and it just needs to be more polished.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Very laggy and slow - was unplayable for me, unfortunately.  Looks like a cool idea.  (Tried Firefox & Chrome on Win10)

Developer

Sorry it was laggy, but thank you for checking it out!

I tried playing but I keep getting stuck on a black screen after the main menu :/ I tried on Google Chrome and Safari–do you know if there's another specific browser that might work better? Let me know! The game looks awesome, I'd love to try :)

Developer

I'm sorry to hear that D: the game runs best for me on firefox, I hope you are able to play!

Die trying or try dying? I love the game concept! Much can be built upon the base idea, and I think you did well! Great game! Would appreciate if you also played my game. ;)
