omg so many Godot games! Yours particularly is awesome. I really like the visuals and the looping mechanic is super well made and creative.

How does your game fit the theme?
When a player crosses their own trail it forms a loop and spawns a clone which endlessly repeats the player's actions during the looped period.

The looping mechanic is pretty cool - I like multiplying a shooter and making copies, feels very at home in a retro style game. The friendly fire is a bit of a kicker though, I think it's quite difficult enough without that added in, specifically in defending the base. I think I did as much damage as my enemies. Art and sounds are great, really like this, has a very classic look and feel, and the controls are snappy, explosions are responsive, and the effects are on point. Nice work! :D

MARBLUXnice game, it's like a tower defence where you have to do a little loop to place a tower. bit frustrating how there's friendly fire

Looper ShooterA very unique and creative idea!
It has great potential. :D
You may have heard enough praise, here are a few of my suggestions. (Of course, you can completely ignore it.)
I noticed that the bullets from the player clones can also hit the player, and I find it hard to judge whether this mechanism is enjoyable.
Perhaps it would be better to reduce the harm of this?

PiongGreat take on the theme! I haven't seen anything like it yet

Build Your Own Bullet HellInteresting use of the "create a clone of you that repeats the moves" idea. Friendly fire added a lot. As balancing between having as many bullets as possible and not killing your own clones was great!

ChamberlightThanks, I'm glad you found the friendly fire to be a fun challenge. I'm debating ways to ramp up the difficulty more gradually but I do want to keep the friendly fire. Maybe I could give the player the ability to easily one-shot clones so you can cancel a loop you didn't like. Anyway, thanks for playing and for the review!
This is a really creative game concept! It ended being quite challenging especially because everything damages the ship and station but I think this is a very smart way to add strategy to a shoot-em-up or bullet hell. Great job!

Fishious CycleSo cool to see a game in this jam where the player creates independent loops/clones that aid them as units in combat, it was a mechanic that I really wanted to explore but just didn't get the opportunity to. Great stuff!

Cloud PostingNeat idea, I'd like some better balancing. I found it quite difficult to manage moving, shooting, and making clones all at once, maybe if there was a slower ramp up to let you get your bearings before the station was fully bombarded.

JetStream Rush TurboThe idea is super interesting! I never managed to win (my station was always destroyed even when I tought there were no enemies around) but trying to create and place shooting clones to defend the station is a very smart twist to tower defence! I'd like to see more of this!

The Loop of Reincarnationi found it impossible to create a clone! after crossing my trail over and over again, nothing ever spawned :( Interesting idea though, well done!

loopmasterOSThis is quite challenging for me, but I like it! I've played multiple rounds but never managed to defend successfully. Still a fun game though!
