What would happen if your past actions lived on and were repeated over and over by those who followed in your footsteps?

Your extreme skill and fame as a monster-blasting race car driver has inspired a lot of copycats. In fact, your fame is so contagious that even your copycats have copycats. These copycats have an uncanny ability to mimic your every action... very precisely.

Nice entry ! It was fun to play, I was cautious at first but sped up like crazy in the end ^^

That was really clever mechanic with the ghosting! The turning speed is a bit slow but overall a good game.

The copycat idea is great! Personally I'd like a mode with less or no monsters at all, as the monsters are now the much bigger threat than the copycats and kill me & the copycats all of the time before many copycats can spawn. The copycats are the far more interesting enemies and what the game is all about, so in my opinion they should be the main threat. Or maybe I'm just bad at killing monsters. ;)

Anyway, I'd really like to play an enhanced version of this. It's a great concept and already fun to play!

Funny game! Really cool sounds. Graphics can be improved a bit. I Loved seeing tons of my past selves shooting everywhere.

I liked the shooting mechanic really makes the game stand out

At first I was just speeding through, and then I discovered shooting... that's when my copycats started shooting me in the back. great entry!

Good fun entry :). The copycat mechanic gives an interesting twist, as you have to think through your actions, rather than just driving and shooting. Overall, an interesting spin on the theme.

That was pretty clever. I liked the fact that your copycats could also hit you with their shots, it gives you an incentive to not just fire randomly.
