How does the game fit the theme?
You are a clone. You are expendable. If you die, another will take your place. Nothing can go wrong because there are infinite 'you's to continue. A game about clones and using them to solve puzzles.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used More Mountain’s Top Down Engine as a base for our game, particularly relying on their top down character controller and Cinemachine Camera controllers. We used free sfx and a free music soundtrack. All visual art assets were made from scratch.
How many people worked on the game?3

Loved the idea, only issue i've got is the collisions, sometimes my character would die when walking through a corpse bridge, other times a dead body didn't activate a button, I think more forgiving hitboxes would make the game better. Besides that I've really enjoyed the game
Oh yeah, the collisions are def frustrating at times; we ended up changing the hitbox a bunch during the final hours of the jam that we didn't get to properly playtest it 😅 thank you for playing! We will def make hitbox tweaks in future!
Idea Rocks! Clone concept is excellent. I died trying.
lol thank you so much for playing!
Cool concept and puzzles :) enjoyed playing your game.
Good job
Thank you!!
Maybe add a downloadable build ? I tried but it almost crashed my laptop in both Google Chrome and Windows browser, and I got 32 of ram so it should not happen ^^"""" but the idea seems great :)
Aww man, sorry about that 😓 thanks for trying tho!!
No worries haha
Frustrating but I rly like the puzzles :)
Thanks for playing!
I died a lot...trying...and failing. Lovely concept and well thought out puzzles. A really good submission. GG.
Thank you so much!
Really loved the concept. Well made game :)
Thank you for playing!
played and rated! Really enjoyed it, especially the art and audio! Puzzles were satifying, there were maybe a few bugs with positioning the bodies infront of lazers but otherwise a great effort :)
Thanks for the rating! I'm glad the puzzles felt good to you, we definitely have a few more bugs to iron out in the next iteration of this one!
This is a really fun game. I enjoyed the simple controls, but also liked how the puzzles got increasingly more challenging. I also like the use of how to solve the puzzles in each room. It kind of reminds me of multi Paul from Invincible. Great job.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I think there's room to build out even more puzzles so I'm happy to hear our current approach is working out.
It really is. I hope you do develop it further. I enjoyed it a lot.
really fun game!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
The concept and the art of this game are pretty cool.
Thanks for playing!! Glad you liked it!
Cool concept! Reminds me of the upcoming movie Mickey 17. Did you all get inspiration from it? Otherwise, that movie would be a good ad for your game ;)
We did!! Excited to see it when it comes out 👀
Thank you for checking out our game, glad to hear you liked the concept!
This is a really fun idea, though there are some bugs preventing me from really playing
Oop sorry about that! Yeah there are still some bugs we'd love to fix if we get the chance to polish it up some more. But thanks so much for checking our game out!
Really awesome fresh idea. Loved playing the game, the art is also great.
Please rate and play my game as well, thanks!
Thanks for playing! I checked out your game as well, very nostalgic action game!
I really love the main mechanic of using your clones! But sadly I got stuck on level 2 because the spikes kept killing me, even when I had a bridge clone. Visually, it’s simple but clean. Great job!
Oh no! Sorry about that, we've definitely still got some bugs but hope to work those out if we end up taking this game further! Thank you so much for playing!
You did a very good job! I love puzzles, especially if they are made with high quality. I liked that you balanced everything perfectly.
Thank you for playing!
This is a really solid game, great polish and consistency, the mechanic matches the theme well. This feels like a top contender, congrats!!!
Thank you so much!
Super unique idea, I would definitely keep working on this and turn it into a full game!
Thank you for playing! We def want to try to work on this project more :)
I like the game idea but the timing kind of felt short and frustrating!
Thanks for playing!
Great submission! Hitboxes were a little finicky, but overall really enjoyed this unique puzzler!
Great joB!
Thank you for playing!
