Love the lighting and how the time freeze power-up turns everything dark. I think the game could use some hit-stop when you get hit by your clone to make it feel more impactful. Simple but really fun!

Developer

I tried doing that, but one of my friends suggested keeping the clones moving and all! I guess I could try implementing this in the next update! But thanks for playing and the suggestion!

Time freeze is my fav too. The music also slows down a bit!

This was a really fun game!  The visuals are great, everything looks very polished.  The game's difficulty ramped up nicely, and the limited turn speed of the rocket was a bit tricky and frustrating, but in a good way!  And I LOVED that music!!  Great job!

The music was amazing and the FX were incredibly juicy and satisfying, especially the powerup that destroys other clones! 

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!! I think you mean the "Mines" powerup! I personally like the "Time Freeze" powerup!

This is the kind of mechanic that is in need of expansion.

First of all, I really like this game. The music and art fits the style you're going for. Nice job on adding a tutorial video.

Now here's some of my suggestions. They will not work on there own, but I believe they will work if you decide to expand upon the game in general.

- Clones should be able to pickup scores and powerups.

- Clones should be able to collide with each other

For the ideas above to work, you would need to rework the lives system and the overall goal of the game. It's just a suggestion, but I feel like this game would really shine with more complexity and mayhem.

Thank for you playing and the suggestions! At first, I did allow clones to pickup scores (not powerups though). But that seemed weird and difficult to focus on the player. And I had to remove the clones colliding with each other because that would make the game easier and no need for power-ups at all! But I'm glad you brought this up as I'm planning to expand this game!

Maybe I will create a new powerup that temporarily lets clones collide! That could work I guess!

Like some other games in this jam, it seems very simple but it can get interesting and more complex as you keep going and get further into a run. I really enjoyed the controls, art style, MUSIC!!!, and general concept. 

There are a few things that I would suggest to improve:

  • It would be awesome to have some level design to add further complexity to the game, so that the complexity is not just from the main mechanic. Maybe this means that you would have to stretch out the level more, or make players smaller, to give more room for things like walls and obstacles, enemies, etc, but I think it might be worth it.
  • I think you could extend this endless gameplay loop into more structured levels where levels ramp up in difficulty and give you variety of challenges that make you engage in the main mechanics. While endless mode gives more replayability, levels are more engaging the first time through. Maybe you could have two modes.

I enjoyed what I played, despite my criticisms, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your wonderful comment! And thanks for the suggestions! I already have some ideas and I will consider your suggestions. Initially, this was supposed to be multiple levels, not endless mode. I planned to have snakes instead of rockets! With different level designs. But I thought to make it endless due to time constraints! But I will definitely add what you suggested!

Cool game man! At first it wasn't working but I think it was more itch than your game.

Developer(+1)

Oh yeah! I think I guess what happened! Maybe you clicked outside the game window which stopped the game to respond! Itchio does that sometimes :(

I enjoyed this game, the more clones the more frantic it gets and difficulty spikes too.  

Developer

Yup! The initial game name was "CHAOS"

Submitted(+1)

Very fun but simple game. I see myself chasing high scores! Music is awesome and fits the game style perfectly.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I made this game and hoped people would actually care about beating their highscores! Not just play it once and leave it. So what you said, just made my day!
