I'm missing some contextual information in the HUD about the current action you have to do ("State 1: Select animal", "State 2: Shoot to clone") and maybe a graphic feedback of the ray when you are trying to clone. Either way, a nice puzzle game!

The mechanic is pretty interesting, and the graphics were REALLY pretty and cute! I have a few critiques, however:\r\rAs others have said, there needs to be more audiovisual feedback when using the clone gun. I didn't really get confused, but as the game's primary mechanic it should have more pizzaz! \r\rAlso, the level design could be tighter. A lot of your levels have cool ideas, but don't always fully realize the concepts. For example, on a number of levels toward the end I could *tell* that I was supposed to do a cool trick, and I appreciated the idea of doing it, but I just solved it a different way instead. Now, having levels that can be solved multiple ways is a good idea! Except when the alternate method the player discovers is easier and less interesting\/fun than the cool thing you thought of. (one level I'm thinking of involved the skunks to destroy baddies, but instead I just used some well-placed sheep to jump over everything. this could have been prevented if the level was tweaked to make the jump too big to do with sheep).\r\rFinally, the mechanics could use some fine-tuning. The jumping, and hit detection (both for platforms and enemies), and the way the pre-cloned bullets work all aren't bad (in fact, they're probably about average for ludum dare games), but they can definitely be improved. I actually stopped playing on the last level because I was annoyed by the general looseness of the level and mechanical design (however, I might go back and beat it later).\r\rOne thing I liked (besides in-general) was the skunks. Having one weapon be a "bomb" is a simple enough idea, but the fact that you have to actually jump on them to activate, then jump back off makes it more interesting!\r\rAgain, my special compliments to Ms. Ortiz for the adorable graphics, and good job to everyone else too!"},{"author_name":"DKoding","author_uid":"33865","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:18pm","epoch":1429632780,"text":"Good concept. Liked the graphics a lot. The guy moved too slowly and the jumping did not look natural. Seemed to have a lot of trouble firing the gun, is it supposed to be that hard to fire it?"},{"author_name":"omaha","author_uid":"5229","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:34pm","epoch":1429637340,"text":"I had trouble playing on my mac's touchpad.

It had a game mechanic which was unique and interesting, with lots of room to apply to different puzzles, but which was simple to learn at its core.
