I Broke The Thing

Game Information

Short Introduction: 
Use a time machine and a penchant for auto-cannibalism to pull off the most bizarre cover-up conceivable.
Platform/System: 
Web standard (Html5, Java, JavaScript, Flash)
Brief Play Description: 

Arrow keys to move.
Up arrow or X to jump (costs Fuel)
Hold Z to dash (costs Fuel)
C to use items, and Spacebar to switch items.

Beat your former selves to the Time Machine each round. Kill and eat your former selves to increment your own abilities.

You broke the space station, and the only tools you have at your disposal are a very weak time machine and a willingness to eat past iterations of yourself. Using cannibalism and temporal paradox, move through time (and, since the Space Station is moving, through space as well) to go back far enough to right your wrongs.

Open source?

Any chance you will release the source? I would love to see how some of these effects were accomplished with flixel.

External host

Can you guys host this somewhere else, or re-upload the file? I'm not able to play it off of this page

Thanks for the warning. It

Thanks for the warning. It should be working now.

Really awesome

Excellent game, gfx, music, sound, controls. I can't get past 115 seconds though ><; and have to give up with imminent RSI. I didn't understand "press B to bot"?

lukeDavis

Glad you liked it! We didn't

Glad you liked it! We didn't have time to actually implement a win condition but 115 would definitely be over the threshold for victory. "Press B to bot" let us spawn bots for testing. Players aren't supposed to be able to see it. Do you think the RSI is a result of our control layout or just an unavoidable issue with any game?

All good

There was nothing wrong with your controls, I was just desperate to finish it so I was trying too furiously. Even to the point of managing to break out of the back of the station and run along the top :P
I think according to the timer I was finishing at ~1:30 but kept landing at -1:15. I loved the timer on the tiles btw, it's an excellent touch.
I hope you finish it so I can save the station. After all, I broke the thing...
