Interesting idea

I just love the concept of this game. You did an amazing work on this deeper and deeper theme. :wink: I played numerous "waves" and I enjoyed every moment of it. :bow_and_arrow: My advice is to keep developing it. I think if you polish it a bit more this mechanics can attract lots of players.

Great concept but bow projectile is slow, and sometimes you spawn on other copy of yourself.

Camera a little too sensitive. Hard to walk/aim. Other than that well done. Nice sound effects, cool graphics, not a bad idea. Not sure if "past" people should be attacking me or are they supposed to just stand there. I guess they were mimicking me :thought_balloon: .

Very interesting idea and mechanic, had quite a bit of fun!

Dang, really creative concept! For constructive feedback, the controls were a bit hard to manage. Aiming had some sort of mouse "declaration" affect, which I struggled to play with. With some tighter controls, and quicker gameplay, I would absolutely LOVE to retry this game again!

The graphics look nice and the gameplay is really awesome too, I'm pretty terrible at these types of games but the gameplay felt fluid. A thing I think would push the game further would be the addition of a soundtrack(unless I missed it, then sorry!) or jumping, overrall the idea and the game was really solid, good job!

I really enjoyed this game. My first time through I did end up getting killed by my old self, and I was shocked. The second time through I was much more strategic about how I played. I liked that the game made me think differently about how to solve the problem. The controls were fluid, and I did not really come across any bugs that I noticed. Good job!

It's a really great game, the combination of hard control, slow bow projectile and that "the past" copy you, makes this game really good. Well done!

Great concept, could definitely be improved upon! I think some kind of timer for each wave would help -> you'd have a reason to move fast and meanwhile make it harder for your future self. Otherwise Players could just play it safe and move slower to provide an easier target for your future self. Does that make sense? Your game has successfully mindfucked me, lol

Are you planing any post-jam updates? Good job!

Pretty cool idea! Didn't get the past copies of self idea at first but the shooting was quite fun

Good game, had a lot of fun playing around with this. Mouse sensitivity was a bit too high on the browser, though.

Great game!

It's simple, but I spent a little time trying to understand the gameplay. I had fun elabborating a strategy to survive for 10 rounds.

Nice concept and really great work! Congrats :smile:

Fun game! Really liked the concept.

ghost-wave 2021-04-29 12:25

The idea is really awesome but the movement is a bit rought. This game could be really good with a bit more polish. Great work!

testudor 2021-04-29 12:26

Really cool concept, you might be onto something here! I think the controls could be improved a bit. Jumping felt a little floaty and movement was a bit too slow for my taste. Still, great work!

The concept of this game is amazing, and it's really fun. The graphics are a bit stiff, but that is to be expected from a three day jam. I'd love to know how you made the actual mechanics, if you're willing to talk about it :) .

Great job!

artebills 2021-04-29 13:03

What a good concept! I have a good time shooting my previous versions! the mechanics are really good, I think that maybe the character could move a little smoother and the jump is a little bit rough.

marcovalekaz 2021-04-29 13:08

@renatol I'm not the programmer, but as far as I know, the game basically saves positions, rotation and shooting events, and then plays it back. It was actually quick to implement, as far as I remember, but it took some time to get right. Thank you for the comments

gregoire-d 2021-04-29 13:09

Really Innovative and quite fun and challenging ! I think you could make it grow into a full fledged game.

brian-mayberry 2021-04-29 16:18

I'm one tough cookie! Actually, interestingly, the worse of a shot you are, the more difficult the game plays. I really dig this concept, would make for a good section of a larger game for sure. Great work!

mololo 2021-04-29 17:27

A fun shooting experience, it needs a little bit of polish, but overall a great game.

Good job.

nosfer 2021-04-29 17:57

Love the concept. The gameplay tempo could be improved - but that probably depends on the strategy of the user. Mechanics could be developed further - add more weapons/upgrades, faster weapon, explosive arrows, multiple arrows, time bending arrows - sky is the limit :)
