I like the interpretation of the theme! would be nice if the buttons said what door they controlled. Nice to see a gamemaker game in the jam. :)

Developer

Thanks! I will implement that in the future

I had a similar game concept of using your past selves to solve puzzles, but your mechanic of deleting your copies was a super interesting twist! I would totally love to see more levels!!

Developer

Thanks! I plan to work on it some time after the jam

Really like the idea of the clones, feels like there's a lot of potential for more interesting puzzles and mechanics with them. Would love to see what you do with this in the future.

Developer

Thanks! I will work more on the project in the future

Great idea, fun puzzle.

Developer

Thanks!

i really like the concept, you could make some cool puzzles with this idea. its a little rough around the edge, some quality of life changes like being able to see which clone is going to be removed by the next alt press would go a long way but the main thing this game needs is just more puzzles to play with the admittedly cool idea

Thanks! I'm thinking on continuing the project after the jam ends and the idea of showing which clone will be removed is something I haven't thought about, thanks for the input

This is slightly different than the usual create a clone, or past self clone, your clone just stays there and not moves, and it makes for some unique challenges, great job!

Thanks!
