awesome ending , cool mechanics , art , the only thing i didn't like is that one really slow platform elevator but after u go down u can go up and down easily with ctrl x , really cool game , good job!!!

It's very very polished, good-looking, complex and clever. I guess I might have felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of possibilities offered by the mechanics right out of the blue, but this is really impressive.

Just thinking that the game is made in 48 hours is already insane...I would gladly play it if it was released later as a full game with some narrative. I'm not even sure that I need to comment on the music and visuals, since I guess every other comment already did that.
I would say, though, that I was stuck for a while in the beginning because I didn't see if the game has shown me to use ctrl c to clone myself. I realized that only after reading the game page. Maybe you might help to the players with the tutorial more? And also, the elevators were too long.
But apart from these minor things, the game is one of the best looking I've seen so far, and it's also so original. Good luck to you!

That's amazing. Really cool concept, mechanics, art and sound. Definitely one of the best entries I've played so far. Congratz!

One of the best games I've played this jam, Amazing use of the theme with wonderful presentation and fun but simple gameplay mechanics that create for interesting puzzles. Only feedback is that the jumping felt a bit "weird" but if thats my biggest point of feedback you know you mustve done amazing :D

Wonderful game! Incredible art, very good music, a work of art done in two days! The puzzles are very interesting and very cool as you used the controls taking into account the theme of the game, very creative! Excellent work, five stars in all categories!

An amazing game, with a unique twist! I liked the different commands!

It was a very unusual take on the virtual aesthetic, I liked it!
The mechanic is also interesting but the level design isn't up to the level to make it shine, especially with all these unnecessarily long elevators that get quite annoying when you fail a lot.

Fab game for 48hrs, cool concept and great level design. I found characters getting stuck on the platforming difficult, and I wish copying made another exactly where you stood. Also think this fit the theme of "control" but not quite out of. Lots of potential here...

Thank you for the feedback and kind words!

Only downside I could find is that the duplicated clones must spawn in empty space instead of at the same position where the player is, so you have less control over where it spawns. LOVE the level design though

Developer

Thank you for your kind words both here and on your stream. I enjoyed your play through greatly!

Very nice and polished idea, great job!

A gorgeous game! The copy/paste mechanic is great. Would love to see an official release of this after the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We are in the process already of taking this game, fleshing it out and making a full release. Stay tuned!

Nice graphics but don't feel like it fit the theme. Nice game anyway!

Submitted(+3)

Really solid presentation and an original take - didn't feel too out of control to me (maybe the literal running out of the 'control' resource, but even then that didn't happen too much). Either way, a solid submission, cheers!

Interesting concept. Liked the visual. Wasn't sure what was out of control -- but I guess it was meant as out of Ctrl+C maybe? Not sure. Well polished game overall.

Super cool concept, using common keyboard shortcuts like that! I agree that the jump felt a bit too "jumpy", but the whole thing had such polish, it hooked me right away. Great job!

Thank you!

No problem! Would love your feedback on our game as well. SpaceBus
