Nice game.

A complete game with interesting graphics, cool feed, clear gameplay and pleasant nuances. Top development for jam from one person.

Fun, simple game, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I can't believe my minions are cannibals.
Good job!
Good job!

Nicely done. It took a few tries to get the hang of it. It was challenging until I found a good rhythm.
I saw your note about the minion's "generation property". It's not clear exactly what that number means.

Well that was dark, clone yourself to eat yourself. Still a nice game!

That was a crazy one 😄
Interesting idea with graphics that are nice on their own way (not an euphemism!).
Random comments:
* I didn't understand how the "generation" affects the minions.
* Controls felt strange sometimes. I couldn't pinpoint exactly why, but felt as if sometimes I would click on a minion and it would not be selected. (And I would not notice that, because the marker that identifies the selected one is not much flashy.)
* I reached the end, yay!

It is a fun game with a neat concept, nice job. I was able to make the minions skip some squares by spamming the left mouse button on the destination. I don't know if it is a intended behaviour but it makes the game a little easier.

Super cool concept, very funny, I laughed out loud many times! It gave me Lemmings vibes. I love the art style as well, minimalist ultra charming pixel art is probably my favorite kind of game art. Are you planning on expanding it?

The mechanics of cloning and recycling clones are just awesome! Both in a technical, gameplay and philosophical sense. I was directly imbued with the atmosphere of science fiction of the distant future.

I think this game is hard to understanding, but it is very simple and interesting.

Fun and short little experience. Took me a little while to realise that you have to use to mouse to select and move the minions. Found the whole clone/scarifice mechanic humorous.

Quite a fun little game. Very good work!

+необычные механики
+приятная графика и звуки
+юмор как в концепции, так и в именах юнитов
-применение темы не заметно
-стоило разбить на несколько уровней - поначалу сложно сразу все понять
-механику клонирования стоит сделать попонятнее

@captandrey Да, согласен с минусами.
- Тему хотелось через обыгрывание погружение в глубокий космос, чем глубже тем все больше проблема с ресурсами.
- И да, в планах было сделать разбивку на уровни. Перемещение от системы к системе в поисках подходящего мира.
- В механике клонирования много факторов, которые не видны вообще никак в игре. Что клон хуже оригинала, и если клонировать клонов - то может вообще получится очень испорченный экземпляр)))
Много на что времени не хватило))

Good idea with clones! Very cool concept!
Seems like my minions didn't feel like working at all ! Joke apart, the theme deeper & deeper is respected.
