Wow that was amazing, I absolutely love the atmosphere, everything from the graphics and ps1 postprocessing to the sound was on point. Also just the premise and world was really cool, it would be really cool to see a bigger game set here.
OH MY GOD HE'S DEAD!! In all seriousness, cool game, I liked the art, good job.
very cool, the enemies have a nice artistic design and the sound is really nice too. Well done!
First, let me just get this off of my chest, the artistic presentation of this game is immaculate. Everything from the start and end scenes to the glitch effects to the alien level design is crazy impressive and far beyond anything that I would expect from a jam game. This game has six people working on in, three of them artists, and it shows.
The core mechanic (looping clones of oneself) is interesting and well fitting with the theme. It is also impressively well implemented and polished, it's really a cut above the average jam.
However, I cant help feeling that this mechanic could be better used with more interesting puzzle design. There is so much possibility with this mechanic that isn't tapped into. I feel like the the bulk of development time went into the visual presentation rather than the level design. This is something I can empathize with completely as I have an unhealthy tendency to compulsively polish. ;)
overall, this was a very impressive Jam, good job
very abstract, this game had me surprisingly invested in the mental health of my robot character XD
Sorry to say, but I couldn't get it to run. The console was stuck on loading the start scene 0 out of 33 assets loaded or something of that sort.
Lovely photography, I really like the atmosphere. Its a bit weird and unusual, and compelling in its own way, this is a submission I will remember.
I love this! the art is really nice and the sound effects are adorable.
I like the movement, the game has a fast paced feel almost like doom. The death effect is cool too
I like the pixel art, I think it could do with a more powerful jump though
Its a fun game with nice music, but feel like the spawn rate/ difficulty ramps a bit too quickly and it would be nice to have more space to play around with/ maneuver.
the minimal aesthetic is really nice, the experience was nice and polished, however I think it would be a bit more fun with a faster speed and snappier controls.
fantastic -10/10 IGN -"a seminal gaming experience"
The dismemberment and procedural animation is very cool, quite impressive for a compo, nice job
As someone who is more of a 3D artist who dabbles in programing, visually ambitious 3D games are often what I like to pursue in gamejams, so its really cool to see other people making games as visually impressive as this. The atmosphere and graphics are quite impressive for something made in 48 hours. It would be really cool to see this developed more with the various tasks the player can perform influencing the progression of the game. overall, very good.
The writing is great, its a shame I can only appreciate it when I die. I like this interpretation of the theme, otherwise, its pretty cool, well done
Very cute little game, I like it. Nothing too adventurous, but its well done and enjoyable. +I like the writing ;)
The floatiness works well to make this game a solid challenge, there is a real sense of tension after getting to the end on a particularly good run, well done.
Pretty cool, I love the visual style, its simple, but very effective and combined with the music it creates a great atmosphere. the mechanic of the game is kind of simple, but for a short jam game it works and it is very well executed with lots of polish.
Pretty cool ngl.
I really like this. Its a creative, Interesting interpretation of theme, I particularly liked the glitch effects, that was really well done.
The maze manipulation is pretty neat and well implemented, the controls felt a bit floaty though, it would be better with less delay between input and action
the amount and variance of assets here is really impressive< I am also really impressed by the dynamic traffic and pedestrian systems it works really well and feels good especially for a jam. The core mechanic is an interesting take on the theme but it gets a bit repetitive, possibly you could give the player health and damage them if they ran into pedestrians and cars, then the player would have to think about avoiding unpredictable obstacles which would be interesting.
Really technically impressive! I imagine that all the game play and mechanics were quite a lot of work to program, also, I love the soundtrack it really evokes the empty loneliness of space.
I like the restarting mechanic and the implementation of the theme, but I would have appreciated some sort of tutorial as it wasn't super clear what I was supposed to do or how to use the scrolls.
Yea, no links, you might want to check that
Fantastic mood and environment. I found it quite enjoyable to just walk around the landscape and immerse myself in this melancholic world. the game play is interesting if a bit sparse, and the integration with the theme isn't the most solid, but overall a very cool experience.
Overall, I think its a solid game, nothing to crazy, but a good platformer with an interesting mechanic relating to the theme. :)

A very cool interpretation of the theme. The stealth aspect is fun, but the combat feels somewhat clunky.
