Yeah, it is a bit like cursor 10 – same principal of using previous versions to do useful things.

Reminds me of great Net Yaroze game Time Slip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_quc8BT0o

From the author:
“I actually managed to get on the cover of the Official Playstation Magazine in the UK. The game was called “Time Slip” and every 60 seconds you went back in time, meaning you could encounter earlier version of yourself which you had to avoid. It was a puzzle game really because you had to make use of the multiple copies of yourself to open doors and things like that.”

I was really hooked up by this one for a long time…the thing that this one didn’t have any obvious bugs helped a lot.

BTW, since it could be dangerous here to discuss only Net Yaroze game in comment ;) (especially since I imply it’s more bug free)…seems somebody once made a copy for PC (but didn’t recover his files yet…)

Thanks for the writeup! The developer fixed the bugs with past selves getting out of sync, btw.

Niiiice!

I’m stuck on 18. Not due to any difficulties with the timing, but because it requires PIN-POINT accuracy. Also, Bonus 5 has me in knots. LOGIC knots.

Fun, though.

aiusepsi – I recommend reading Stephen Baxter’s Exultant.

aiusepsi – make sure the orders propagate at lightspeed too. Then it’d make sense to load your command staff on a relativistic rocket and chase the front line, getting the orders there faster at a cost of not being able to make so many (and completely screwing your oversight of any second fronts).
