You Are Not Alone by detectiveLosos

[raw]
made by detectiveLosos for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Job is easy:

1. Fuel top and bottom thrusters
2. Activate the pilot seat
3. Repeat until at Final Destination
4. Do die, because this way you can help yourself

Via the achievements of modern science this spaceship has a time resetting system. On every death time rewinds and you are reborn as your clone, doing your duties alongside yourself from the previous life. And also yourself from the life before that. And also from the life before that.

Gosh! This place can get quite crowded!

Whoa, the graphics and mood is super cool in this game!

The concept is also interesting, and it was fun to experiment with different strategies. In the end I went to the cockpit and spam pressed E with my first character, and then alternated filling the top and bottom fuel tanks.

The lighting and style is very nice. I really like 2d sprites in 3d environments :)

Nice job!

I must admit I got a bit confused with how the time loops back as you clone yourself and how that affected what parts were done or not in what cycle of me playing at first. Very trippy experience and a good lesson in the complete confusion that time travel would cause (though your game doesn't explicitly call it that).

The art style and visuals were great.

I had quite a few of my earlier rather useless selves in the way confusing me but that felt as part of the charm, where as I now when I have a better understanding of how the game works it would probably be possible to do things quite organized instead.

Great entry.

Really cool concept, I like the aesthetic and the basic gameplay, but it got a little repetitive. I would have preferred it if dying didn't reset your journey progress.

Hey! The mood of the game is good. Altho sounds were a bit too repetitive.

One thing that bugged me was the reloading, was not really clear when my gun was going to reload and once I understood the counter, it was hard to spot at times, a stepped progress bar that stands out of the rest of the scene would really improve that.

Also, the concept of repeating itself was nice, altho I did not really got it until I died 2 times, so maybe as an improvement for the future, would be a little note expressly saying that your actions accumulate upon deaths.

Good concept, keep the work :D

The atmosphere of this game is incredible and I love the pixel graphics in a 3d space. The mechanics are super fluid too, I ended up spending most of the game just walking around and appreciating the scenery. I also really like the idea of time looping back when you die. Really awesome game!

Hey there! Love the concept and execution of the game from someone who also made a clone game :smile: But the incredible polish you put into it can definitely be felt, especially the mood with the hauntedly broken space station. If theres one small feedback it would be taht I wish that the action ramped up more after each "jump"! but thats asking a lot of a 72 hr game. Anyways, really great work!

Very cool concept, once you get the hang of it you just send clones everywhere, nice job!

Awesome concept done pretty well. I really liked fighting those robots with 3 of myself. It felt great getting a machine like system going with my clones. Even the gunplay was enjoyable. The graphics and sound were top-notch as well. I would have made the game get more difficult as time goes on, but all in all, this was a great time.

Loved it! Great take on the concept and great execution. Controls well and looks slick. Gotta get a sick Daft Punk remix soundtrack and you're ready to ship.

Great game! Loved the graphics and the audio. I liked the concept too, it sort of felt like a mix of the 47th game jam theme and the current one. The concept of having your clones do the same thing as you was pretty cool (I messed things up for myself in the beginning when I attacking all my clones, so all of my clones kept killing each other. I restarted and made better choices haha.) Overall, nice game. Well done!
