Every ten seconds you will be cloned. That clone will live that ten seconds over and over. It will mirror your movements and shoot when you have shot. Unless you shoot him first! Shooting restarts his 10 second loop.
I recommend the google chrome browser, but it should work in all the main ones. Although the sound lags in Safari.
It's html5 so you can see the source code on the webpage,
Edit: Hello the post competition version is available to play, but obviously not to rate.
Smart idea! I like how the game has built-in disincentives for spamming the laser. I think it would also work pretty well in other arenas (e.g. a 2D platformer). Music and sound are great too :)
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Steve I know you are a right. I have a few ideas to solve that problem. But I didn't dare do it last second. At the moment the clone resets when shot. But maybe it should continue where it left off. Therefore it would shoot more, because you couldn't just stop it shooting.
Also I could have ghosts flying past as bonuses. Which would give you incentive to move to shoot them. Or I could just randomize the starting point along the x axis, although it would be less obvious you have been cloned.
Great use of the theme. Good fun too. Only problem I can see with the gameplay is that if you time it right and stand still, it's very easy to get lots of kills with no effort. Maybe the clones should spawn at random locations and wrap around when ghosting?
I am going to try the random locations idea, although I'm not sure it will entirely solve the issue as you could still just shoot one clone over and over without any of the others in front to eventually zap you. I have a few ideas, I think I'll be able to make it work somehow.
Nice game, liked the travel back in time to shoot your clone gameplay, the graphics are okay, sound is well done imo, theme is very implemented in the game with the clone mechanic, I enjoyed playing the game, and overall it's very good. Nice job!

I didn`t like the game very much, the "where did that come from" is nice at first but annoying in very little time, the graphics are ok for the time spent but I think it`s an obvious use of the theme. Good try though.
This is a really neat game, and I don't think I have played anything like it. The art could use work, but I am sure that is simply because it is a 48 hour game.
@michail sshhh don't tell people that. haha I've been racking my brains all day trying to think of a way to make the game work so you can't make it easy on yourself.
People need to start posting their scores. Funnily enough my best score (although I can't remember what it was) was when I was running around all over the place shooting like crazy.
I like the game, and really enjoyed the little guys voice, it was funny. Nice use of the theme! I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxp6zWGaGM

I could play this all day long hahahaa.
Anyway good concept and very good js structure too!

I got 32 kills on a not-cheating run :)
Congrats
I like the voices too.
Nice work and glad to see more html5/browser games in the LD
Best score I could get was 10, as my past beings are tooo good in this game :P
