this game is super interesting, the clone theme was pretty big this jam but from the games i've rated this one wins it for me
there is a ton of strategy to employ between rounds that it almost feels like playing in a miniature war planning counter attacks and such
i love the story as well
however, the game lacks alot of clarity, when reaching check points, which side you are currently on, when your character has died etc
that aside, good work great game!
Gets really chaotic, which I love. And it never feels unfair. I'm not sure about this, but I think the bullet spread might be different when the level is repeated? It didn't negatively affect my experience, just something I think I noticed (but I could be wrong)
Conceptually this got me pretty good but the style sealed the deal. Love me a loop.
OBSESSED with the sprites, really fun game >:) NICE!
10/10 game, the second I saw the worm, I knew I was in for a treat. I hopped, ran, bounced, and shot my way through my past selves, just to get a glimpse of that worm in different levels. The death sounds are top tier and made me feel a visceral sense of the frailty of man, reminding me of my insignificant place in this universe.
Wow, great concept, I really like the game, it fits the theme perfectly. The graphics are fun, the music is good and dynamic. Great job!
This reminds me of Bad Rats, in the best possible way. Really cool concept of being your own enemy!
Good way to add the looping, at some point every past self was just shooting each other which was fun.
Artwork is not my favorite but I guess it fits with the thematic of the earth worm and the experiments
OOo I love games that experiment with weird art styles and mechanics! great job!
I finished the first loop before I noticed you could shoot just by starting very slowly and then increasing the speed in which I finish the level :D
great idea of a game!
enjoyable
This is such a cool concept. I really enjoyed the game and I thought the visuals were great.
Well done.
The "beat yourself" is so fun!
ts so cool
Interesting concept. I think a lot of people here adopted the mechanic to replicate past movements but this surely feels different from the others. The game design is in my opinion a bit strange, it does give some feeling of unease but it seems intended. I wish you good luck.
So many games approached this theme variously using player echoes but this PvP approach is just so good. This is addictive. And the Nidhogglike presentation is simple but works really well here; funny and legible. Great entry.
Really hard until you wait a long time. Great concept ! I enjoy it !
I thinks it will be more challenging if something prevents us waiting too long.
I am hopelessly obsessed with this game. I will appease the worm forever more.
