Really good game :) Fun and Addicting :)

chrisamaphone 2013-08-26 02:17

hilarious and fun :)

zuige 2013-08-26 02:31

What a brilliant concept for a game! :) Quite well exectuted as well. Fits the theme perfectly!

adjotur 2013-08-26 02:33

Enjoyed it :)

brighterorange 2013-08-26 02:53

Smart idea! I like how the game has built-in disincentives for spamming the laser. I think it would also work pretty well in other arenas (e.g. a 2D platformer).
Music and sound are great too :)

jihop 2013-08-26 03:03

Great idea! I had hard time detecting the pattern but very fun to play!

chronodk 2013-08-26 06:49

Really clever idea! Remembering your own movement pattern several clones back is so hard, but really fun game too.

tacospice 2013-08-26 07:28

Pretty cool idea. However, you can just stand still in the same spot and fire continuously to get a whole bunch of kills.

orangepascal 2013-08-26 07:42

first thought was "boring!" but then it picked up a bit and became a fun action game :) really nice

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-26 07:44

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Steve I know you are a right. I have a few ideas to solve that problem. But I didn't dare do it last second. At the moment the clone resets when shot. But maybe it should continue where it left off. Therefore it would shoot more, because you couldn't just stop it shooting.

Also I could have ghosts flying past as bonuses. Which would give you incentive to move to shoot them. Or I could just randomize the starting point along the x axis, although it would be less obvious you have been cloned.

taffaz 2013-08-26 09:44

Enjoyed it. Great concept and use of the theme.

maxking1234 2013-08-26 11:19

Great fun, what a good idea!

guillaumegwi 2013-08-26 12:02

Sounds a lot like mine :D I like it

sebastian 2013-08-26 12:24

Clever haha. Only managed to get 20.

nandor 2013-08-26 14:46

Great idea, although I suck at it :))

acrimiens 2013-08-26 14:50

Funny!

jimanzium 2013-08-26 15:23

Really good idea, nice job

irl 2013-08-26 15:26

Great use of the theme. Good fun too. Only problem I can see with the gameplay is that if you time it right and stand still, it's very easy to get lots of kills with no effort. Maybe the clones should spawn at random locations and wrap around when ghosting?

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-26 15:37

I am going to try the random locations idea, although I'm not sure it will entirely solve the issue as you could still just shoot one clone over and over without any of the others in front to eventually zap you. I have a few ideas, I think I'll be able to make it work somehow.

foxtacy 2013-08-26 15:45

Very good idea, and very well fiting with the theme! :)

I could play this all day long hahahaa.

nusan 2013-08-26 15:50

Good idea, putting the clone in mirror. You can try severall tactics, most of them doesnt work very long ^^

obscuremoon 2013-08-26 17:20

Addictive, I want to play the other games but I keep coming back to this one!

kapoty 2013-08-26 17:59

hilarious and fun²

bisk8s 2013-08-26 18:14

if I never shoot I never die? Ok i can live with some clones...
Anyway good concept and very good js structure too!

tinfoilboy 2013-08-26 18:21

Nice game, liked the travel back in time to shoot your clone gameplay, the graphics are okay, sound is well done imo, theme is very implemented in the game with the clone mechanic, I enjoyed playing the game, and overall it's very good. Nice job!

2013-08-26 19:29

I didn`t like the game very much, the "where did that come from" is nice at first but annoying in very little time, the graphics are ok for the time spent but I think it`s an obvious use of the theme. Good try though.

mrblade 2013-08-26 19:56

Nice job! I love the sounds. Keep it up!

slothjesus 2013-08-26 20:17

This is a really neat game, and I don't think I have played anything like it. The art could use work, but I am sure that is simply because it is a 48 hour game.

geeks-n-chicks 2013-08-26 20:34

Cool! It could make me playing for a time :-)

boodog 2013-08-26 20:56

Cool game!

michail 2013-08-26 22:43

Funny game. The best strategy is to produce lots of clones in the beginning and then start to kill them slowly - it pretty much solves everything :)

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-26 22:46

@michail sshhh don't tell people that. haha I've been racking my brains all day trying to think of a way to make the game work so you can't make it easy on yourself.

People need to start posting their scores. Funnily enough my best score (although I can't remember what it was) was when I was running around all over the place shooting like crazy.

psychomonster 2013-08-26 23:07

Cool :D My highest score was 31. Cool Idea. Saved the link to favs ^^

codecranker 2013-08-26 23:33

managed to get 22.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 00:37

I like the game, and really enjoyed the little guys voice, it was funny. Nice use of the theme! I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxp6zWGaGM

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-27 07:50

Jupiter_Hadley thanks for inluding my game in your video!

matthewvermaak 2013-08-27 22:47

Challenging but fun. Good job :0)

khaotom 2013-08-28 00:30

What a strange thing to think about... killing your own clones.

tifu 2013-08-28 19:50

Hee, pretty easy to exploit :P
I got 32 kills on a not-cheating run :)

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-28 21:12

@Tifu It won't be on the next version!

zatyka 2013-08-29 00:14

Really cool idea, with a lot of subtitle strategy involved.. It could definitely be polished up, but this definitely has potential.

gre 2013-08-29 11:32

Simple but very good game!
Congrats

chronusz 2013-08-29 19:15

Very good concept :) Lagged a bit for me if a lot of lasers were being fired at once.

proc 2013-08-29 19:19

Fun concept but I can see it being hard to balance. I like the little guy's graphic :)

starspell 2013-08-29 19:37

An interesting take on the theme. I liked the little worms-like voices in the audio. Pretty nice idea ^^.

angrycrow 2013-08-30 02:45

Cool idea.

tigerj 2013-08-30 16:59

this was really fun and had excellent skill challenges.

I like the voices too.

Nice work and glad to see more html5/browser games in the LD

dekart 2013-09-02 17:25

Nice game, I like the idea and the art

bitowl 2013-09-08 13:42

this concept is AWESOME!
Best score I could get was 10, as my past beings are tooo good in this game :P

motty 2013-09-11 00:58

Cute. Fun. Nice one. Enjoyed it.
