Cute concept! I like the design :) ! Pretty amazing it was all done in such a short time!

Very cool aesthetic and I found the ctrl+c stuff a very clever interpretation of the theme. A small note but I found that elevator segment to be a bit long. If you mess up it's a bit punishing because you have to wait a lot

Amazing game, the art visuals and audio are all great. I really like the personality of the tutorial character, it sort of reminded me of Wheatley from portal. The concept is so creative and the execution is great. The only thing I would like to see is a restart button since I did find myself getting stuck in some places but other than that everything else is great!

Great stuff - I really liked the dramatic ending! And the cut/copy/paste concept was a really smart.

The ending blew my mind! Would definitely pay money for a fuller version with more game elements and puzzles

Creative game.. I see a bright future for this game. plus point on using "Ctrl + .... " for GMTK 2020 theme.

Really liked the cut/paste mechanic, but I found the puzzles quite difficult. Nice art style too.

Really sweet gimmick at the end. It looks really good and is fun. Maybe a bit short. Good job!

Really cool visuals and idea. Nitpicks:

1. You can't control where the clone goes or retrieve clones to  restore control.

2. You can knock over clones and they don't affect switches when knocked over. This resulted in a lot of retries since you have no control over where to place the clone(which could be intentional)

3. Teleporting back via cut-paste is an interesting mechanic. It reminds me of the original Ori's checkpoint system. Perhaps combine the two?

4. The keyboard shortcut idea is interesting but normal buttons would make it easier. 

5. The idea of losing control as a resource is interesting but the clones aren't attacking you if you run out of control points. 

6. I was surprised by the ending. It was neat. I was sure that it would end in either a glorious clone revolution or your sidekick trying to stop you. 

Overall. really polished entry with lots of potential.

Really cool look and feel, and unique controls. Just to note: on a Mac, using ctrl is not that easy :)

Developer
