Beam from Beyond by Inferture
A versus top-down shooter (need at least 2 players) where you can shoot one laser per timeline.
When a player has shot its laser and takes the tape, they can rewind time and they get a ghost of themselves doing the things they did in the timeline that was rewound.

You can get bonus lasers to cover more and more area with them. Please enjoy !

@thebugger I'm very glad you had fun playing it ! Indeed the splash image went for a more "living" atmosphere when the sprites in the game seem more mechanic (like tanks). I was also thinking about adding some "personality" to the players sprites in game and adding a reference to the ghosts in the splashscreen, but there is only so much I could do in the jam time x) Thanks for the feedback !
Great work on your submission!
It was hard to feel the game without other player or bot, but I've managed to do it. And I have some strange feelings - I think that something must be changed, but I don't know what exactly. Maybe placed beams should pulsating every 5 sec? Or players should leave a trail like in tron? I don't know. This game need some RnD, bots and it will make you rich. This could be new BIG thing. I am serious, you should work a bit and release this game.
Really creative project and I'd love to see it flashed out
I would love to see it in action, so that I can feel the game better(like is it fun to play, is balanced and so on. Maybe if there was a bot(witch I realize you maybe didn't have time to do) we could see more or less of the game. Overall I like to see new stuff, so I like your project very much.
@davidwesst I did not know of the game so I looked it up on youtube and it seems fun, thanks ^^
@kohcepba Thanks, that's really nice to hear ^^ I'm actually working on a post-jam version now. Bots are definitely an idea worth exploring :)
@deepsealychee Thanks, I'm actually working on a post-jam version, bots are definitely something I'm considering
@miklou I'm glad you liked it ^^
@cargamoni Thanks, I did rate yours :)
@sli Thanks, I'll try exploring the bot idea for a post-jam version !
@gamescodedogs A tutorial is definitely something I'll add in a post-jam version ! (The jump allows you to avoid lasers)
I may come back to rate the rest after I got someone to play with!
Cheers!
Also the improved version of the game is not in a playable state right now but I'm working on it ^^'
