Great job! The game is fun and has nice minimalistic graphics, and seeing your clones help you fight was entertaining. In general it seems like an easy game since you get unlimited lives.

Possible Bug: I was able to run out of lives by crashing my ship directly into the enemy 2-7 times, and I respawned without a ship to control, as seen below. I was playing on a Google Chrome browser.

haha this was fun and I like the nod to the myth of Sisyphus in the title - gameplay was intuitive took me a little while to figure out the concept but it was pretty easy to figure out after a few mins what was going on. I overall think it fits the theme very well, graphics are functional , perhaps would of been better with more background and fx / sound but overall a fun little game.

Nice mechanic, I beat the first enemy it was fun )

I would like more situations with the use of mechanics. For example, you shoot off small opponents at some point, so that at this moment you have time to hit the boss or some important trigger next time

Any way good work )

I can help with 2D graphics for jam challenge part if you want to improve the concept

Nice entry :)
Having the shooting kinda sync with the music is a very nice (intended??) touch! I found it oddly satisfying to hold my own live concert of dozens of tiny ships.

I like it! It actually took me a while to understand that the "clones from the past" still blocked the bullets. :D

Really cool mechanic, super satisfying to see more and more clones shooting together :)

Very satisfying to see the enemy health go down fast with dozens of my past selves shooting at it! I feel like there's something in here to expand to a bigger game. Good job!

Didn't understand at first but then i realize how it worked. I wish it has some more polishing in order to make it more attractive. Good job.

This mechanic works great and could even work great in lots of other games! Nice work!
