Time Loop Duel

"The enemy brought a knife in a gunfight."

"It's a time loop. In your favor."

"But can you survive 3 battles?"

You cooperate with your time shadows inside a 25 second time loop using firearms against a guy who entered a gunfight with a knife. But he damn well knew what he was doing.

Closest optional prompt: `Second Pass`

Gameplay:

The player has to defeat all enemies and survive 3 battles. The first battle has 1 enemy, the second has 2, the third has 3.

The player can shoot unlimited bullets. The enemies attack by collision.

Every time the player gets hit the timeline gets restarted. The previous attempt of the player leaves behind a time shadow that can help the player.

When the game is finished he gets to see a winning scene. (I spent over an hour just on it, so please, try to reach it.)

The game might be a bit difficult.
