How does your game fit the theme?
The player's movement and actions are recorded each Loop and played back in subsequent loops

Its a really cool concept! The controls took a little bit to get used to but after getting the hang of it, it was fun. It was kind of hard to tell if you were moving with the camera or if the camera was stationary because of how everything is black. I think a little more with the background would add some readability.
Great job making a game!
really fun game, i didnt know what was going on half the time but i like the fact that my past versions can accidentally damage me too
This game has a unique idea for a shooting/survival game, where you make yourself your own enemy. Great job!
Nice slippery controls.
Also, didn't expected your past rocket could damage you.
Pretty funny!
I loved that this immediately became a bullet hell of my own making, I learned quickly after the first loop to not shoot for no reason. I do wonder if incentivizing the player to kill things would improve on the concept even further, maybe by making the upgrades after each round cost points? I feel that the best strategy currently is to run away from everything rather than create more bullets for myself to dodge later. That aside, this was a lot of fun regardless, great work!
Really cool concept. The recording of past loops was done well. I agree with others that it would be cool to see how you could help yourself in future loops (like maybe your bullets could damage enemies so you could lead them into it)
Thanks for the feedback! We wanted it to feel drifty like the original Asteroids arcade game, and it was difficult to make a game that feels slippery but still gives you control over your movement. Hopefully the upgrades can give more control. And yes, when you get to later waves it can get pretty hectic!
I very much like the idea of replaying previous gameplays, question is how could this be somehow used as a gameplay benefit i wonder. So if you know what you did earlier you not only play to avoid your previous self, but to help get more stones or something. Or maybe -- if you are close to your previous self or opposite to it, then you get benefits?
It's a very interesting question, and we were juggling between this game idea and an opposite one (a racing game where each lap your loop becomes another car that you can use to boost off of). I think it is fun to make a game harder over time systemically by becoming the obstacles, but if we had more time I think there were a lot of cool upgrade ideas we could have done like benefitting from previous loops or allowing them to damage enemies!
