Everything works well together: the graphics, the concept, the theme, but the controls are too difficult. I had to physically turn the keyboard around to get anything done, but I understand the intention behind it and it would work great if we weren't limited to wasd and arrow keys (I can see this concept of game in an arcade with custom buttons?).

Presentation-wise, this game is pretty huge (especially given the timespan). However, I found the aiming/shooting controls to be rather unintuitive (was this intended to be played by 2 people rather than just 1?).

SPITFIRE ParadiseAlways appreciate jam games that have a story to them, even if you're just there to beat the scores. Though, I felt like the controls were confusing to start with. I like the idea of having almost a "cloned" control scheme too, fits the theme in two ways technically heh. Good stuff!

Simulacrumthank you! I'm definitely seeing that the controls are an issue. glad you picked up on the 'coned' control scheme. I was thinking of both agents as two sides of the same coin. one creature. I wish I had made it more intuitive, or opted for an automatic shot when changing angle instead of needing to press a button to shoot.
Nice story and cool that you can skip if you just want to beat a score :). The controls were a bit confusing, but I like the art and story.

Fight the clone cowboysThe art was really nice and the idea is nice and simple.
The controls were really hard to get used to especially with the two characters simultaneously.
maybe as coop it would be a lot nicer but couldn't get myself to last long, playing by myself.
nevertheless, cool idea.

Clone InvadersReally lovely graphics, and the concept is really nice, but the controls really hold back this game, they're very confusing. After like 6 tries I still couldn't wrap my head around them. Still, really nice plot and aesthetics. Really solid entry.

Twin Edge Jam VersionI played the game so much that I just got used to the controls. I thought it added to the challenge. Now I'm seeing that while it added to the challenge, the control scheme also subtracted from the experience. Thank you for giving it 6 tries though haha. To be fair, even I start having a HARD time after about 45 seconds.
Wow, so many different versions of the two characters! Crazy amount of good looking art. Great story use of the theme!
Sadly I couldn't really get into the controls, W/S and Up/Down to aim and A and Right to shoot would have been way more intuitive in my mind. Couldn't really get used to it so playing was pretty frustrating.

I have no idea what I'm shootingI love that, you have scenario, story of the game, doctor and other things, I think some contrast and more action animations (They really too smooth, example guy that jumps, shoud be fast or give player some slow-mo effect). Lil sad that controls complicated, but with 1-3 attempts you will get used to it
