Very cool use of the theme/prerequisite. It's very satisfyingly to run through the game with all of your past selves murdering everybody. Really nice job.

Favorite idea so far and very nice gameplay! Really nice & quick gameplay!
Finished it!!!
It was very much enjoyable to play and has a good concept!
The enjoy factor comes from seeing your past selves fighting all the enemies, it could possibly be even upgraded in the future to be much more interesting.
The concept itself was also amazing and unique, not too much games have this sort of mechanic.
The weaker side of this game was in the visuals and audial elements, or the overall presentation. Although the sound effects felt goofy and funny, it lacked satisfaction to hear. If you are really going for this goofy sort of self produced sfx vibe, better takes could improve the sfx of the game. For the art, it isn't bad to look at, what I meant by visual was that the animations felt lacking and could have been improved. You could also add post processing to improve the game without having to be artistic in drawing or painting, just don't overdo it!
Overall, amazing job! Unique and enjoyable concept do make a great pair, good luck!
Very fun concept, amazing music loop, I liked being able to just walk through as your ghosts do all the work after enough deaths, but you can just dash past everything to skip all the enemies if you wanted. Maybe if each area was locked behind a door and you had to defeat every enemy? Maybe also you were limited to how many previous ghosts could be in an area so you couldn't just gaurantee a win by throwing yourself at it over and over? Very good idea, would love to see this worked on outside of the jam <3 (but no pressure of course)
The concept is really fun! I loved the music loop and the concept. The fact that the ghosts can help the player is a great idea but it should be more exploited by the level design! (Throw the sword is so satisfying :3) Fun game!
What a fun idea! Took me a moment to get used to the controls, but then I had a lot of fun with it. The music makes it feel quite intense. :)
Very fun game! I like the concept that your ghost images help you if you die. There was a random bug where you cant pickup the sword for some reason, had to restart a few times. But I reached the treasure! Music is cool and overall I enjoyed this game.
Really satisfying and fun! Good gameplay! Cheesable though, dashing to the end is possible.
Really like the sound effects and the music. The oof sound when the enemies die is so satisfying.
Sword throwing machinic is good but some time player does not picks up the sword while fighting enemy.
