PITCH :

ENGLISH : Splinter Self tells the story of a dude in search of a good meal getting lost in a mysterious facility. He will have to summon « colorful » fragments of himself and co-operate with them to get out and gather loads of sausages !

FRENCH : Splinter Self raconte l’histoire d’un sympathique barbu qui, poussé par une faim grandissante, se retrouve perdu dans un centre mystérieux. Il devra alors invoquer et coopérer avec de truculents fragments de lui-même afin de trouver la sortie et ramasser au passage un maximum de saucisses !

All assets + backgrounds and music are handmade. Thank you so much for playing !

[ WARNING !!! ] The web version has a bug where the first clone doesn't seem to to move... (we don't know why yet). So try to play the game with the WINDOWS, LINUX or MAC Version ! Thank you so much for playing !

If you install the game on MacOS, you may not be able to open it. This is because the .zip file extractor on Mac does not extract properly. You will need another app to extract .zip files other than the one provided by MacOS. Then, just right click on the folder to extract it and play the game. Thank you !

Very nice entry, love it. It's a cool concept that really shines the further you get into the game. Took some time to understand that you CAN switch the gun to different clones... You should add something about it in game!
Cool graphics and audio ;)

Neat little idea, as with others it took me a while to figure out I can switch the gun around, so got stuck a bit at the beginning but after that hurdle a nice little platform puzzler.

The gameplay mechanics in this game are so intuitive! It’s like the controls become an extension of your own instincts. Plus, the art style adds a unique flair that keeps you engaged throughout. Definitely a gem worth exploring!

Unique take on the theme. The level design is impressive considering the limited amount of time, the levels are challenging but not frustrating. Very enjoyable good job.

higher level advice for a higher level game : Good Idea, And I really like games that tries to add humorous lines to it's gameplay. However it was a bit hard to follow the dialog properly because they move with the characters.
I was split apart between my desire to speed run the game and to read the story. Having somewhat fixed pannels would have made it a bit nicer to follow.
Other than that I liked the mood of the game, especially at the beginning and the end. Throuhought the game you get absorbed by the puzzles and don't really pay attention to the rest.
Also, nice touch to have your game localized !

A great puzzle game. I like how there is a mix of physics and more restrictive door-based puzzles. I think I "broke" a few puzzles by absolutely spamming dudes, but that was half the fun.

Very cool, I liked how you could cheese some puzzles, it didn't feel like it made it easier, it just made me feel smarter. The dialogue is witty, and the art is really nice. Great job!

Really excellent entry! The puzzle gameplay was really fun, I was able to beat the game and I enjoyed pretty much all the rooms. I missed the part in controls on how right clicking switched the weapons, but once I got that it was pretty smooth. I played on web which had that interesting bug where the first clone didn't move, but funnily enough I was able to use that to solve one of the levels easily.

The idea is pretty cool and well executed, and the art/music was quite nice too. I wasn't really paying attention to the dialogue, but the overall experience was really solid; I was very impressed with how many levels there were! Great job!

Hey! That's an execllent game! I actully have no complains. You idea, mechanics and level design are awesome. It's really interesting to complete your levels! Grphics are also nice (I understand that you had not enough time for everything).
No limit on spawning maybe a cheat on some levels, but in the same time it might make a lot of fun!
So, thank you for your game, you did it very well!
