Fun game, that also utilizes a clone mechanic in a creative way.
The only issue I had was that the scale was really small, so some things (especially the UI) were a bit difficult to see.
Other than that, great job!
This game had a fun art style and a kool direction with the replay of your previous life. Outside the last level platforming was fun but overall a good game. :D
Thanks, glad you liked it!
This game looks really good! The platforming was a bit annoying in the last level but overall it was fun! The idea is really cool!
I'm happy you liked it! We didn't spend enough time playtesting, so there are some parts that are unnecessarily tricky, sorry about that.
This was a very fun take on the theme. I enjoyed the old guy running around.
I did notice sometime the clone getting confused or doing something I didnt do in the previous run! I will also echo what others have mentioned about shooting yourself accidentally lol.
But overall a really fun game. I enjoyed it a ton
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you still enjoyed it :)
You can get in the way of your clone and throw him of his path. This was intentional because we intended to have situations where you could do this on purpose, but I have to agree it turned out annoying more often than it was interesting. We'll definitely do more playtesting next time.

its one of funniest game of jam
Nice work. Polished too
Hey! Great take on the theme. As an audio guy, I'd reccomend randomizing footstep and shot pitch, as well as adding a bassline and some EQ to your track.
I wish there was a shot aiming line to help assist doing it, but overall this was a fun game!
Thanks a lot, these are all great suggestions! We actually wanted some randomization but didn't get to implement it. As for the soundtrack, this is the first one I've ever done for anything, but I really enjoyed creating it so I'm very thankful for any honest feedback :)
And yes, barely hitting a wall with an attack and dying isn't much fun, but we ran out of time.
The clocks with shields were challenging! Are the clocks protecting the hourglass? Is the hourglass… alive?
Thanks for creating! :)
Thanks for playing :)
Fun fact: the hourglass is actually coded as an enemy, so I guess it is, in fact, alive :D
I agree with @bakasillysk. It was frustrating killing myself with my own magic ball, and also stopped once I got to the shooting downward at the sand level.
Some of the levels were satisfying to solve, particularly when you see your clone going through the level and you get that "aha" moment. So I think it succeeded as a puzzle game in that regard
Great gameplay, but I'd like to stop killing myself with my own magic ball... And I had some difficulty shooting down the sand(?) obstacles.
Nice game and cute lil' wizard character! It was fun to watch your clone run around. The puzzles varied a lot in difficulty though.
Glad you liked it! We didn't have enough time to balance it properly unfortunately.
Cool!
not sure what makes more or less clones but is is very satisfying to move and destroy things. loving the particles. made it to level 9 :]
Thanks for playing it :)
The number of clones is fixed for each level, we should have shown that number in the UI.
I liked it, although at first I was very confused about the shooting and the logic of the clones.sometimes there are 2 of them, then only 1.
When we get used to it, it went very well. It's fun that the last level is made in the form of an hourglass. It's a good game.

Yo I honestly had a blast with this game!! The mechanic was super creative and fun, it felt like I was playing with friends at times. I got super mad at the past me's sometimes but it was all super funny, I enjoyed all 10 levels and honestly I wish I could play 10 more.
Amazing job both of you!!!! :)
Thanks I'm happy you liked it :)
I wish we had the time for more levels as well ^^
Pretty fun game, however the time loop mechanic felt like it wasn't utilized enough. I only used it the first 3 levels and level 10, the rest I was able to clear without the mechanic.
Nevertheless still a fun game :)
Then you're just too good at the game ^^
We tried not to make the game too hard, so in most levels, rewinding is helpful but not necessary. But you're right that we could have done a better job designing the levels around it.
fun mechanic it took a bit for me to get the hang of the respawn system at the start tho
