Great use of mechanics for some cool puzzles! The peppy music made me feel better about dying over and over again lol

Great game, I also had trouble with the previous clones failing to do some jumps, but the mechanic itself was fun. Good work.

Excellent application of the theme, quick and easy to learn, with cute sounds and cute simple graphics. Nice work! It all fits together nicely. I had trouble playing, and only made it to level 4, but I think that's more on me.  One thing that would have helped me is if my clones always succeeded in doing their previous action, regardless of other physics, but I know that's tricky. I often found myself messing up the jumps of my clones, with my current jumps. knocking them out of place and such, or jumping too early and then they crash into me. Ideally, they would have more mass than me and push me up instead of me blocking them. But that's nit picky and I might be the only one struggling with this XD

Really nice puzzle mechanic that goes really well with the theme, congrats! I didn't got it in the beginning, but when I understood, it was a blast! Congrats!

Ive seen this style on this jam a couple of times and this has to be my favourite, I like the "recording" of what you did before so that you have to  plan your move and timings when you begin. Very Well Done, great mechanic!

Really nice game! I enjoyed the artstile and for how simple the player was how much character it oozed! Maybe your past selfs should have a different color than the active player? I sometimes just ran to my death because I thought I was one of the ghosts °^^

This game is epic. Setting up platforms on the spikes with your previous bodies, and also riding on the heads of your ghosts is great puzzle fun
