first things first not sure if its missing textures or something but in the future PLEASE dont use high contrast colors like bright pink for your main menu, as its really hard on the eyes, also a minor bug but the mouse sensitvity's slider is invisible.

as for the actual game, i love the idea of a swarm shooter where you use your past selves to manage all the enemies but the execution is very flawed, due to bugs like the enemies not having a projectile and shooting pink orbs that block your movement or inconsitencies in the ai between the runs meaning that your "clones" dont really kill the enemies they should

overall interesting concept but flawed exectution

Hey, thanks for the feedback. There was some issues with building in Unity and some shaders were stripped causing the entire projectile code for the enemies to not work. The other bright pink stuff is also stripped shaders.

The game concept is good however the actual gameplay could use some polishing and game juice.

Also not sure what the pink orbs are but they kept blocking me.

It has potential but my PC starts having trouble running it after like 4 rounds
