Game loop

While you are fighting your actions are recorded and replayed by your holograms, so be careful that you don't end up shooting yourself! Every 10 seconds you recharge your batteries and in the next 10 seconds your previous holograms will fight alongside you.

Kill as many enemies as possible to earn a spot on the leaderboard!

The ghost/rewind mechanic is very interesting, just need to work on some more art and animations and it would be a nice rogue game !

The game has a very fun concept and feel really unique. I felt like their were so many ways to strategize to survive with how you could get shot by your own bullets & having the need to get to a different charge station. Animations and sound fit the art very nicely.

Wow this is really great! I've seen a lot of "looping" runs this jam, bu the idea of trying to avoid the bullets of your own loops is super clever, and makes for a really fun game.

I absolutely love your use of theme. Really creative and fun gameplay. I like that you can set your spawn with the charge spots. It allows you to plan better for when the game gets hectic. I love the sound effects and the screen distortion effect. It's a little hard to see your past selves but that's a minor gripe. Fantastic job!

Simple and addictive game loop that makes me wanna keep trying to get a higher score by setting my past selves up properly :D Good stuff!

The game loop is very addictive. Each time you want to challenge yourself more and more. My whole office is currently hooked

Nice game! Very challenging, especially because you are forced to fixed spots every ten seconds. Well done!

Good idea, cool graphics and quite satisfying gameplay. Sometimes I die for unknown reason by just sitting in a charching place, no bullet or anything. Recharging animation is cool, but maybe a little bit too long, it gets a little bit anoying over time.

Very cute game :) I like it.

@dod108 The aliens also kill you with their touch. When you die on the charging spot it's because an alien has respawned on the spot you are sitting on and has killed you instantly.

Nice idea, overall well executed and the graphics are nice.

The main issue for me is it wasn't clear at first that your own bullet could kill you, it took me a couple of tries to get it.

Cool mood and really cool mechanic! Reminded me of The Best Amendment game. Felt addictive and wanted to play more. Just got annoyed whenever the badguys would insta-spawn on top of me and kill me instantly. A pre-spawn warning would be helpful. Also the rewind cutscene would be great to turn off.

I really liked the creative way you approached the 10-second theme. When I realized that my actions were being recorded, and that they would be used against me, I felt a pop! Great idea, congratulations. Keep developing it!

Great concept! This was a lot of fun, trying to figure out different strategies for avoiding your ghosts, or using them to your advantage. I found the level very well designed, as there were never any safe spots for hiding. The presentation was super nice as well, the graphics and sound fit perfectly.

Tight gameloop, with a fun difficulty curve. Loved the fact that your past selves could work for and against you!

Wow, what a nice entry! awesome mechanics and implementation of the theme, cool graphics, the camera effect is great, the sounds are very cool to, I think it gets a little hard with your ghosts, I learn that my worst enemy is myself lol, also the feedback about your previous movements is cleaver and nicely than, the UI fits well, this is a solid jam entry, one of the best so far for me, very funny and addictive, it feels like a finished game, very polished, it is an extraordinary job, congratulations!
