Thanks! Glad you liked the visual style

I really liked the core idea of this game — fighting against yourself with swords is a strong and memorable concept. The fact that the enemy repeats your movements and acts as your own copy makes each fight feel personal and a bit unpredictable, which is very well executed.

The visual effects are very nice and add a lot of impact to the combat. The game looks clean and polished, especially during fights. The sound effects are also solid and help make each hit feel satisfying and weighty.

The use of the jam limitation is also at a high level. It feels well integrated into the core mechanic rather than just being something added on top.

Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

One suggestion would be to add a web build to the game’s page and improve how it is presented there. A well-structured and visually appealing page would make it much easier for more people to try the game, which could really help its reach and visibility.

I found this game’s concept very interesting. The idea of a button that you are told not to press, but are still completely free to press, creates a strong psychological tension. It’s simple, but very effective in making the player curious and cautious at the same time.

The sound effects are on a very high level — honestly, they are excellent. The moment you press the button and everything changes, the audio really stands out with intense screams and chaotic sounds, which makes the experience genuinely unsettling and keeps you on edge.

I also think the limitation was used in a very creative and original way. Instead of just being a restriction, it becomes part of the core idea of the game itself, which is something I really liked.

The visuals are also very solid and fit the mood well, supporting the tension and overall atmosphere of the game.

I enjoyed this game overall. The tower defense concept was interesting, and I liked being able to choose the next type of weapon before each wave. It added some strategy and variety to the gameplay. The music and sound effects were also nice and fit the game well.

I also think it's a bit of a shame that the jam limitation, "You Are the Enemy", wasn't explored that much. The idea had a lot of potential, but it didn't feel like it had a strong impact on the gameplay or overall experience.

My main issue was that there doesn't seem to be a way to actually win the game. Even after defeating all the enemies, there is no ending or victory screen. The game simply stops because there is nothing left to do, and there isn't even an option to return to the menu. It left me unsure whether I had finished the game or encountered a bug.

Considering this was made in just 3 days, it's a decent result. Fixing this issue and adding a proper ending would make the experience much better.

Thank you so much for the extra 15 minutes, I really appreciate it! 🙏

Hi! I'd like to apologize for missing the deadline by 4 minutes.

The final build took much longer to compile than expected, and I wasn't able to submit in time. However, the game is already uploaded on my itch.io page and was ready before the jam ended — the only thing I missed was clicking "submit" in time due to the build delay.

Is there any way to accept my submission or add the game manually? I'd really appreciate it!

Thank you for organizing this jam!

Hi! I'd like to apologize for submitting my game 4 minutes past the deadline.

The final build took significantly longer to compile than expected — the process ran over and I was unable to upload in time, despite being fully ready well before the jam ended.

I completely understand the rules, but I'd kindly ask if there's any possibility of accepting my late submission, given that the delay was purely technical and beyond my control.
