The game is a little too difficult, but I had fun. :)

Nice shooter, I would add auto-shoot

Simple concept with very complex execution. I really dig the replay on death. Solid game overall.

The time travelling single player coop is a neat conceit to apply to this theme.

At first this just looks like Asteroids, but the clone addition is surprisingly cool. It's easy to accidentally have one of your clones kill you by freeing up smaller asteroids that hit you. Likewise you can easily kill your own clones which decreases your firepower. The only thing that would make this even more complex is if you added friendly fire. So your clones could kill you accidentally. It might make the game unplayably difficult but it could be cool too. Never know till you try...

I really liked the replay. But pressing the key "SPACE" all the time and tiring.

its asteroids. idk man.

I like the mimic spaceships.

Greate, interesting game:)

I really liked this idea :) this super time force-like mechanic works really well with the theme and is executed in game very well ^_^

The concept to cooperate with past selves is very interesting!
Sound effects are grating and too loud.

Cool game. I like games that are inspired by old arcade classics. The clones are a nice addition, but the sound effects become a bit noisy if you have too many of them.

Ah, classic gameplay of Asteroids with a little bit of twist. Pretty okay overall. Graphics need a little bit of polish.

A nice take on a classic game. I really liked the number of lasers in this one, and the title music was nice. ^_^ My only critisism is that my hand got tired from mashing after a few levels, holding space for autofire would be a welcome change. Good job on this game, I had fun playing it.

good job on the position audio!

very interesting take on a classic. I think the firing button should be able to be held down and fire a specific rate because pressing space quickly gets very tiring.

Nice little game, reminded me a bit of Asteroids ;-) But I like!

Well done!

nice shooter, the addition of enemy ships that mimics your previous movements was a very clever addition, well done.

Hi there. Really good fun. Well done on including reverse engines... Great sound and look and feel. Like seeing previous ships all joining in... fun! Be nice to have arrows as alternative to WASD and yes auto-shoot as others have said. Bookmarked to play again later... Good job!

Wow this game gets intense quickly! I wasn't sure what was causing clones to spawn at first, but then I realised it was a timer counting down. Really cool twist to an old classic!
