Duck think game is very cool idead. Duck thinks bullets are too fast and not visible enough. Duck likes art style. good game

Good game. I the idea itself, iloved visuals and sounds as well. And it's pretty much funny!

PhoenixofForce3 Oct 2022, 23:25

Very good. I loved the idea with the rewind/ loop. Well done :)

chromaphase3 Oct 2022, 23:42

The ghost/rewind mechanic is very interesting, just need to work on some more art and animations and it would be a nice rogue game !

Chan Gim4 Oct 2022, 00:51

The game has a very fun concept and feel really unique. I felt like their were so many ways to strategize to survive with how you could get shot by your own bullets & having the need to get to a different charge station. Animations and sound fit the art very nicely.

Good game

slimefriend4 Oct 2022, 03:32

Wow this is really great! I've seen a lot of "looping" runs this jam, bu the idea of trying to avoid the bullets of your own loops is super clever, and makes for a really fun game.

I absolutely love your use of theme. Really creative and fun gameplay. I like that you can set your spawn with the charge spots. It allows you to plan better for when the game gets hectic. I love the sound effects and the screen distortion effect. It's a little hard to see your past selves but that's a minor gripe. Fantastic job!

LDJam user 3068754 Oct 2022, 08:27

Simple and addictive game loop that makes me wanna keep trying to get a higher score by setting my past selves up properly :D Good stuff!

Toto4 Oct 2022, 08:29

The game loop is very addictive. Each time you want to challenge yourself more and more. My whole office is currently hooked

Faust_Mi4 Oct 2022, 12:05

Very cool idead! The Recharge mechanic is very interesting!

Jonas Michael4 Oct 2022, 12:07

Nice game! Very challenging, especially because you are forced to fixed spots every ten seconds. Well done!

der_finski4 Oct 2022, 12:16

Nice game, as useual i didnt read the full description so i didnt know i can shoot myself... lets just say, i found out eventually

nice grafics and awesom idea not sure if ive ever seen such a game b4

Good idea, cool graphics and quite satisfying gameplay. Sometimes I die for unknown reason by just sitting in a charching place, no bullet or anything. Recharging animation is cool, but maybe a little bit too long, it gets a little bit anoying over time.

Eugenik4 Oct 2022, 14:45

Very cute game :) I like it.

Toto4 Oct 2022, 15:12

@dod108 The aliens also kill you with their touch. When you die on the charging spot it's because an alien has respawned on the spot you are sitting on and has killed you instantly.

shizuka4 Oct 2022, 16:00

very creative and fun game, i have to stop playing because i will lost at least one hour playing, very very good game, congrats

VenFola5 Oct 2022, 10:02

Nice idea, overall well executed and the graphics are nice.

The main issue for me is it wasn't clear at first that your own bullet could kill you, it took me a couple of tries to get it.

Rafale256 Oct 2022, 00:44

Awesome game ! The rewind mechanic is a really good idea !!!

Talenvin6 Oct 2022, 11:01

I love the concept !
It works really well, great job !

(also impressive level of polish, GGs !)

TobiasD6 Oct 2022, 11:06

Cool mood and really cool mechanic! Reminded me of The Best Amendment game. Felt addictive and wanted to play more. Just got annoyed whenever the badguys would insta-spawn on top of me and kill me instantly. A pre-spawn warning would be helpful. Also the rewind cutscene would be great to turn off.

Suzanne Hardison7 Oct 2022, 01:21

Very interesting fun game!

Trusty7 Oct 2022, 02:46

Awesome loop timer, was hard not to shoot my own ghosts haha

Luis Felipe Patrocinio7 Oct 2022, 13:13

I really liked the creative way you approached the 10-second theme. When I realized that my actions were being recorded, and that they would be used against me, I felt a pop! Great idea, congratulations. Keep developing it!

vidarn7 Oct 2022, 13:15

Great concept! This was a lot of fun, trying to figure out different strategies for avoiding your ghosts, or using them to your advantage. I found the level very well designed, as there were never any safe spots for hiding. The presentation was super nice as well, the graphics and sound fit perfectly.

Almax7 Oct 2022, 19:48

Tight gameloop, with a fun difficulty curve. Loved the fact that your past selves could work for and against you!

LDJam user 2637639 Oct 2022, 08:15

Wow, what a nice entry! awesome mechanics and implementation of the theme, cool graphics, the camera effect is great, the sounds are very cool to, I think it gets a little hard with your ghosts, I learn that my worst enemy is myself lol, also the feedback about your previous movements is cleaver and nicely than, the UI fits well, this is a solid jam entry, one of the best so far for me, very funny and addictive, it feels like a finished game, very polished, it is an extraordinary job, congratulations!

trASSh9 Oct 2022, 10:31

Amazing entry! Innovating mechanics and really good idea! Really makes you think about your actions! Probably one of the best games this jam! Loved it
