My own take on the many-worlds interpretation. (google it.) You are caught in an endless time loop and have to fight alongside alternate versions of yourself to survive as long as possible.
I didn't get past the prototype phase on this one, because the mechanic didn't turn out to be as fun to play with as expected and I lost the motivation to keep working on it 14h in.
This is amazing! I'm sure you can figure out a way to make this into an awesome game. The mechanics actually work quite well and once I understood them I loved it. I'd loved to see this project continued!
Great take on the theme! And nice gfx too! Fun to play - yes! Innovative - yes! Shame the sound was missing, but daem' mechanics are great, spooky and great! Liked it! Congratulations, good work!
I see what you're saying about it not being fun, but on the whole I think that's a little harsh. Somewhere in here is something really interesting, but maybe the pressure crunch of LD is not the place to find it. Perhaps the objective needs to be more fine-tuned to this kind of action? For example, if somehow the goal was to create some sort of chain reaction using your previous selves.
It rather reminds me of playing guitar with a delay pedal. You can create really complex things on your own, but if you aren't in the same key or timing as the repeated sound it all goes to pot.
There's a lot of potential here. One suggestion: make the controls work more like something like Asteroids, where it's relative to the direction the ship is facing. It was a little confusing to have W sometimes be forwards and sometimes be backwards, for example.
I find it very interesting. Unfortunately a lot of enemies wouldn't spawn until the first wave was half over so I didn't really have time to kill everything. I really liked the idea though.

I like your abstract shapes.
WoW! :D
This would make a great game!

Also, graphically it looks super cool.
