I love the idea of hunting down your previous incarnations. It'd be great to see this extended into something more. Some kind of map/radar would be super helpful. :)

Absolutely love the take on throwing guns instead of shooting them. Good game!

@extar Thank you for the feedback! Glad you liked the game. I agree with you on the minimap 100%

@tristan10cats Glad you liked it! Yeah, I felt the throwing weapons a lot more interesting to play around with haha

Damn this idea and execution was fun... and confusing lol. Maybe you guys could have added some music tho?

Really nice game, I like the concept of trying to kill your clones and each time the movement patterns become more erratic, or maybe its just me. Also really liked the art style.

Cool game and cool concept. Graphics vise it's very nice. I do have little bit of criticism on few gameplay details: - The finding grandpa part felt a bit like guessing game and wasn't as fun as the rest of the game. Considering it's first impression, I would add some way to guide the player. - As far as I understood, you should not kill your grandpa or other self too fast, so you must deliberately wait and do nothing for some time. Maybe I misunderstood it, but waiting isn't too fun part of the game.

Those details aside I feel this is pretty high level game and fits theme creatively and perfectly.

This feels like a fun concept game. I watched the devlog and agree that some side missions would be cool because it would make it less of a mad rush to find your past self. You'd have some time and perhaps unlock story behind what Grandpa did to deserve this.
