Good concept, but mostly used not as time-traveller, but as cloning machine, which was sort'a disappointing for me. But despite this the game is good.

I was a bit dissapointed when I realised that my clones are just controlled by an AI. Feels less like a time travel device and more like a cloning device.

Regardless, still a fun game! :)

Would you mind checking out my game which also has a time-travel mechanic?

A well polished submission, I had a good time playing. Good job!

Great game, I liked the main mechanic, but it felt more like cloning than time travel. Good job. :)

Cool and hardcore! But it would be nice to have an option to skip the intro dialog

Developer(+1)

You can actually by pressing Esc.

I didn't have time to put that in the UI, but I did mention it in the games description.

Even with the lack of balancing, it was really fun to just spam clones of yourself and overwhelm the enemies with sheer numbers, good job:)

The art and audio are amazing, wish the character had a bit more life. Fun game!

Good presentation. The time travel mechanic didn't really feel like time travel to me, And I never found a reason to prep it early, and instead I would just spam it to get clones of myself. It felt like there would be more thought into when to time travel, but instead it just felt like I should always  have as many clones as possible. I will say even though I was confused about the mechanic, it was quite fun having dozens of your clones follow you around.

That's an interesting observation. Actually my intention with the game was not to make it a strategy or puzzle kind of game where you have to use your time travel smartly, but more so to use time travel in a really ridiculous way for some dumb fun

Oh well, then success! The two-step process of time traveling had me trying some things that I guess were not intended.

Cool game, but I'm not sure can cloning self qualify as time travel though

Developer

Well I like to think that if you go back in time to a place where you were before, both your present and past self would exist at the same time. But I'm also not gonna start a discussion about the rules of time travel because that'd be silly

Supper cool game

Cool as hell! Love the mechanics and love the feeling of slowly growing more powerful with the army of yous and the eventual upgrade. Love the attention to detail as you go back to where you were when you go back in time rather than just spawning a clone, as well as making it two button presses to avoid spammy gameplay! Very good stuff.

This is such a cool idea! The art is also really great!

Haha who can stop you when you have army of you XD what a fun game

Nicely done! I love the character and enemy sprites! Amassing a giant army of yourself is the ultimate power fantasy!
