Ranked from 169 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
In what way does your game fit the theme?
You need to clone yourself to pass the puzzles together
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made everything for this jam by myself and during the jam period. The only two things i didn't made was the font and keyboard keys sprites which i gave credit in the game page

Well polished game!! Took some time to figure out last level, jumping could be better cuz it is too short
Pretty sweet concept, also I love the art, great work!
Lovely game! Great level design and art. I feel the jump could have some polish, but overall great game
Thank you, any tips about how to do that?
I'd recommend adding coyote time and jump buffer, also polish the jump gravity. These are some easy things to add that really enhances the game!
If you're using unity, I recommend this video: 5 Tips for Better Platformers in Unity (With Code)! - YouTube
Great advice, thanks, i will implement after the rating is over.
Nice little puzzle platformer ! I would have loved having more levels but it is already very polished for a game jam game
I have other levels planned and i will polish more the ones i have today in the game. I will do shorter distances to travel too, this will make the move more satisfying.
Really smart puzzle platformer. Loved how clear and simple the mechanics are. perfect balance of understanding , skill & experimentation. so solid & art is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing & left me wanting to play more. Great work.
Thank you. I will do some updates after the jam and a devlog post about all the design process.
The squash and stretch effect in the jump somehow makes the jump feel really good and I love the art style!
Thank you very much, i love that effect too :)
I really like this game, the art is good. Impressive for first jam, good job.
thank you :)
The art is lovely, and the music/sound effects are very high quality. I was immediately sold at just the title screen, it was so slick! I got a bit stuck on level 3 trying to jump over the wall before realizing that you could spam jump to vault over it (I also clipped into the wall in that level). As others have said, the alien move speed is also a bit slow which can make some jumps feel a little clunky. Besides that though, I found the levels to be very fun and each offers a unique challenge using the cloning mechanic. Very fun puzzle platformer!
Thank you for playing. I am writing all the feedbacks to do updates after the jam and a devlog post about all the design process.
Can't wait to check it out again afterward!
Nice short little game! I am going to study this game because I have been having trouble making simple but effective environments, but I think this game pulls it off really well. The animations are full of life too! Sounds and music are solid too, could I ask what program you used to make those sound effects? The movement speed felt a little slow at times which I think made the jumps feel stiff and not get enough horizontal distance, but overall nice game, especially since you pulled it off on your own!
Hi, sure, All the sounds but the drums i designed with TRK-01 synthesizer from Native Instruments and i use Ableton Live as my main DAW.
For drums i used Polyplex. All those synths are made with reaktor6 and you can find about it at Native Instruments page.
Thank you!
Love it! Only thing is the aliens feel a bit slow at times. Great job :D Would love if you could rate my project.
The animations, when you jump.
puzzles sometime are very challenging, the sound effects and the art of the Thumbnail.
I would love to see how it ends up with more polish after the jam.

Dev, Hug!.
the game fits the theme well! the animation and the art are really good too. i just wish there were a little bit more variety in the music. but overall it's pretty good! would love if you could try out my game too /jam/brackeys-5/rate/929542
thanks for the feedback. I will think rethink the soundtrack after the jam :)
Great Game!! Controlling the characters with WASD would be lovely but it was also fine as it is :) Loved the little puzzles and most importantly the Art!
I really liked the game, in some levels (3rd or 4th for example), I managed to walk into the black part of the map, it didn't ruin the game, I could walk out of it but it might in some levels. other than that I find the gameplay very nice and smooth.
rated and if you can play and rate mine, I will be glad

thanks for the feedback, i wil fix it after the ratings are over.
Great game! A nice short and sweet game is always nice. I really want to see more levels to this.
Well, crap now the aliens have the earth! I have been mislead!
Great short game, nice design clear goal :).
Bit of feedback: would be nice if you could play with one hand (arrows including up arrow) or WASD. Also found a bug on the level where you have the elevator and the 2 guys side by side, if you go with the right one too far to the right you fall off the level. Otherwise great game :)
Love the pixel art!
The game is really fun. I just wished there were more levels :)
Awesome game!!

I maybe would've liked the aliens to be a bit faster, but that seems intentional, and other than that the game is very good, the audio the graphics and the idea are all very nice!
Really like the art!
