How does the game fit the theme?
You can’t trust your own past. Each round, your previous actions return as shadows that can turn against you.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made the main arena, gameplay code, and core systems myself during the jam. I used third-party water shaders and a few VFX assets.

Cool game! I am bit shocked that it didn’t have any audio. Audio is super important component of any game and takes very little time to add. Visually your game is good and you got interesting game mechanic there, but audio would amplify the game feel a lot.
Btw I just skipped the tutorial, and I couldn’t figure out the game by playing. Then I had to restart and read the tutorial. Even small word like “immune” on the target would hint player that this is not what you should be doing, try something else. Without feedback (or audio!) player has no idea and you must hope that the player read the instructions. Small changes like these could improve it a lot.
Beautiful page design, nicely done tutorial, good visual and simple yet solid gameplay.
Petty you had no time to add music and sfx as they always add a lot to the atmosphere, but jam is a jam.
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you liked the game! And yeah, I really wanted to add music and SFX, but unfortunately time got me . Thanks a lot for playing and for the kind feedback!
Great Job :)
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
The game was really easy, i liked the idea with the shadow but i felt like you should have added movement to the enemy or something to make it harder,also sounds was something really important that was missing, but you did quite well!
Thanks for the feedback! I agree, movement and sound would have made the game more challenging and engaging. I ran out of time during the jam, but I’ll definitely keep these in mind for a future update!
It was really enjoyable once I started going to the different stages, but for some reason, no matter how much I hit the enemy, it doesn't go to the next stage. Other than all that though, the only other thing this needs is some sounds! This game has real potential and I hope you continue to work on it! :)
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! And yes, as mentioned in the instructions, directly shooting the enemy won’t kill it — you have to use the mechanic around it to progress.
I really appreciate you pointing out the sound as well! I actually had sounds planned, but time got me during the jam. Thanks for playing and for the kind words!
Oh my bad! I can be a bit dense sometimes lol, thank you for pointing that out! :D
No worries. I'm happy for your feedback so I can get better idea to implement instructions in such a way that user's won't oversee them
Thanks for playing:))
Nice game. initially I was confused, started blasting and realized my mistake very quickly :). Some sound would be nice though
Thank you so much for the feedback! I actually had sound planned, but time got me in the end, so I couldn’t implement it during the jam. Really appreciate you playing and pointing it out!
A bit rough at this stage but can be promising if you keep developing it!
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I definitely agree there’s a lot more I can improve and build on. Really appreciate you taking the time to play it!
creative idea, never played something like that before, i think it has promise. well crafted and plays well.
It would be nice to see how much dmg i'm doing to the enemies (or what remaining health they have). I also seemed to run out of bullets and wasn't sure how I got them back.
Would play again, interested if you'll keep building.

> Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the game and found the idea interesting! The ammo does reload, but I definitely could’ve made that clearer in the game. The damage/health feedback is also something I wanted to add but didn’t get enough time for. Really appreciate the detailed feedback, and I’d definitely love to keep building on it!
Hahah !! Great game idea, can't even trust ourselves !! Well executed, it would've been cool to have a few more levels to struggle a bit more but funny idea !
Hahah, thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the idea and the “can’t even trust ourselves” part! I actually had a few more levels planned, but time got me in the end. Thanks a lot for playing!
I enjoyed this one. its short, chaotic and fun! with a bit more content it would make a solid game! good job
Thank you!!
Really glad you enjoyed the chaotic little experience! I definitely had more content planned, so I’d love to expand it into a fuller game someday. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
