A very quickly thrown together prototype of something I couldn't get out of my head after I saw the TriJam #206 theme "Just Another Copy"
  • drag player square to move/shoot & release to slow time
  • left click on enemy SQUARES to temporarily copy ability when COPY READY
  • there is a short cooldown before you can copy again
  • shoot BLINKING BALLS for points
  • shoot SQUARE ENEMIES for points 
  • after you die, submit name to leaderboard

DEVELOPMENT

  • Made in 3 hours +  a couple of minutes making sure the leaderboards work
  • Not included in the 3 hours is the 800 hours I crammed in watching YOUTUBE tutorials and beating my head against the wall
  • SFXs made in jfxr
  • UPDATE 2-16 :  Added a few cosmetic effects

KNOWN ISSUES/BUGS

  • The wall collision is wonky and not finished.
  • The spawning of the enemies needs LOTS of work.
  • Plays fine on mobile BUT your finger covers your square quite a bit.
  • Probably a lot of things I'm forgetting to mention.

really addictive ! Got 2000+ points on my third run by following that strategy :

  • dont try to kill every enemies (dont try to kill rapid shooters)
  • only copy rapid shooters ability
  • keep the time slow as much as possible unless you have to move.

That IS a good strategy! At the moment, the rapid shooter ability is way more fun and "juicy" than the larger/slower ability.

I originally wanted to have 3-4 enemy/weapons in the game for the jam, but because of the deadline ended up just playing with the sfx/music and making sure the menus and leaderboards worked.

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
