This article (quoted below) reminded me of another similar iPhone game back in the day. I think it was some sort of space game. But same concept, each time you die, you come back and your previous lives repeat what you did. The idea is to use the repeats to do a task in concert.
Cool concept. And now there is another one, reviewed by the Verge.
You’re given an arena filled with enemies that you must defeat within a certain amount of time and a certain amount of chances. Once that time is up, you are teleported back to the beginning of the fight and forced to do it over again, this time with your “remnant” assisting you, killing the same enemies you killed in the previous loop.

This recent article reminded me also how that other game had inspired me to write a short story within my NaNoWriMo novel back in 2012.
Check out the story here: Time and again
Enjoy.
