About This Game

TLDR

Play locally or via remote play with 2 to 10 players and battle it out in this twin-stick shooter. Collect the most coins to win. The twist: In a fixed loop, copies of you appear that replicate exactly what you did. Plan to let them provide suppressive fire and be careful not to shoot your past- or future-self in the back.

The Main Mechanic: Repeating Robots

In a fixed timestep, every player receives a clone that copies exactly what the respective player did beforehand. This makes things tricky: Your “past” self can shoot yourself, but you can also utilize your clones to your own advantage!

Lay down suppressive fire and then proceed to engage with your opponent. Your follower will then support you by also spraying at where you predicted your opponent to be. Collect coins and roll out against the enemies, and your followers will proceed to collect any coins that spawn on the very spot you collected the coins.

Powerups

Gain an upper hand by using rockets and shields to improve your map control. Your followers do the same - unless someone steals the powerup first and alters the past.

Gamemodes

We offer two game modes: one balanced for casual fun and the other for deeper strategic games. 

  • In the casual gamemode, you can quickly start a match with new players and dive into the chaos.

  • In the strategic mode, coins need to be carried back to your base. You can pass coins to future or past selves. Outwit your opponents and establish an automatic chain to collect the most coins.

Multiplayer

You can play with 2 to 10 players locally. The map scales automatically to match the number of players, and players can join in and leave during the match.

  • Play against one friend with your keyboard or host a game night with up to 10 people on a big screen.

  • No need for a ton of controllers: the game supports two players per controller/keyboard.

  • Supports Steam Remote-Play, so buy one copy and play with your friends online.

About Us

We are a four person hobbyist team consisting of a creative musician and three developers with an average of eight years experience in coding games.
