Great levels, it really makes you think. With a improved AI I believe this concept could turn out pretty good.
Nice job!

Clever puzzles and stressful enemies. I liked that.
But I'm not sure I understood your take on the theme. "Only I Exist" is way of saying that there's no clone and no original, and that both form a unique entity? I'me confused.

Single DigitGreat idea and nice execution, graphics aren't really the best, but this jam is not about that anyway. Congrats.
Would you like to try mine?

Lazy DriverThe world could always use more stealth-puzzle games, especially ones with cool twists on the formula. It doesn't adhere to the theme that well and I think the enemies could use a cone-of-vision or some other indicator to better show the player when they can and can't be spotted. I ran into the occasional issue where the clone wouldn't spawn when I clicked and sometimes when I tried to switch places the clone jumped to my location I wouldn't switch to theirs. Unfortunate bugs aside, this game was pretty fun.

Brick Slayer GMTK 2019yea there are some bugs for sure. Also the clone can only be sent to the ground which is white nothing else cna be clicked to send the clone. I recognize the lack of feedback for sure tho. I shouldn't have went for a puzzle game in all honesty. Something smaller would have allowed me to do things better. But it's a learning experience and I'm glad I did it. So many inspiring games out there. I'll definitely check out yours soon!
Took me a minute to grasp the controls, but once I did, man was that fun! I was getting a bit of a MGS vibe and I loved it haha. Cool concept and fun puzzles!

Slime CastleThank you for playing <3. Yes I remember, but he said in the video that the idea can be abstract and interpreted in multiple ways. My take is that there is only 1 real player in the game, and everything else is fake. So the clones he sends out distract the guards but he still gets away cuase he is the only real one there. At the end I have some short text which pop up. They say, "I exist" and then the word "only" pops in moments later to spell out "Only I exist". Thank you for coming to my ted talk :D
This is a really cool game I'd love to see more if this if you plan to improve it

Charge ShotInteresting sneak puzzle game, would've been better with more variations and mechanics added

Ramen OriginsThis is a really cool puzzle game. I know it would have changed the design, but I expected to be able to switch back and forth between clones. That said, I think this idea was executed well. I loved baiting enemies onto switches, so I'm glad that was one of the core puzzle mechanics.
Nice work!

AAA_GrooveReally enjoyed stealthing my way past at the expense of my clone. Good puzzle design on display as well!

Opportunitytook a while to get a hang of, especially the level this page has a gif of was quite hard for me. nice mechanics, the look is very clear, which I liked.

The Right Way to DriveThank you for playing! I really wanted to watch people actually playtest, that is how I usually improve my design. Like I know from watching a friend that 1 concept that I wanted to teach the player did not go through at all. Tbh I still don't know how to fix it. 2 of the levels have the same solution right now which I don't like ;_;.
Hey Rahul, excellent job here, I had a blast with this! This is a great little stealth puzzle game, and the levels are fun and well laid out. They were challenging enough that they forced you to really learn the mechanics, but they weren't excessively frustrating.

Einnsámr: The Lone WarriorA very well put together puzzle game! Make some more substantial Models and/or music, and you got yourself a great, complete game!

(UN)BreakableThank you for playing! I was a 1 man team for this jam, and my art skills are not the best haha. If you get the time check out the last game we did for another jam. I think that is the complete package but did not get any views because it was for a much smaller jam.

It would be nice to have improved graphics (although I can't say my art skills are any better), but the idea of this game is really cool! I really like the combination of puzzle style gameplay with stealth mechanics, and I really had to think on a couple of the puzzles. Nice job!

Sole SurvivorGlad you liked it! I was a one man team this time. I would have put time into importing animation from mixamo or something but due to the shear number of things I had to do i decided to put my energy elsewhere. But yea art is super important and I wish I could have done at least something in that department.
