Pretty art, nice puzzles, and cool jam (at one moment there was a particular beeping that made me think an alarm was setting off here haha, but no biggie). Creative use of limitation.

I like that there are lots of checkpoints so you can quickly retry after dying. Some puzzles can be brute forced by using your spare health, but overall the platforming is a delightful experience. I agree with Pine on the controls: I got used to them after a little while, but they were a bit unintuitive at first. Nothing that takes away the fun of the game, though.

 Great job! I really liked this one, it's solid.

This was awesome.
The mechanic worked perfectly.
The puzzles were nicely implemented. (Though I think one where I had to split mid air could of been cool) 
I have nothing negative to say about this game I really enjoyed it.

the cloning mechanic was very nicely implemented, and the puzzles were very fun to solve. however, I feel like for most of the levels I was just tanking hits and running through the stage instead of finding a satisfying solution.


very fun game though, one of the most fun I've seen in this jam.

Absolutely loved your pico-8 art! I had a brainfart moment at the beginning and couldn't figure out what button to press to start the game, on my computer the in game text doesn't look like a "C".

Otherwise great job! Very cute.

nice to see a pico-8 game! on my fourth playthrough, i managed to get myself softlocked here; it’s as if i’m barely clipped into the corner or something.

a softlock

personally I’m not a fan of the control scheme. since you can only clone when you have no clone, and only destroy one when you have one, it would have made more sense to use O as a toggle and X to jump (or the reverse of that), rather than making users press Up on their control pads to jump

that victory music is a bop!

I had a lot of problems with getting soft locked in random blocks, I tried to come up with a fix but didn’t have enough time. I like your control scheme, makes a lot more sense, I forgot to actually think about the controls that much.
