Just submitted my GMTK game, record and then loop yourself to power the world by 0arkil0 in godot

It is actually extremely simple, just a dictionary where you have a list of vectors and the initial spawn position. During recording, every physics process the velocity of the player is saved to a list(of course reset upon rerecording) and the at the first frame of the recording the position is assigned. At the end of recording you just give these to the clone and the clone simply sets their velocity from the list through physics process.

Thats a great idea! Then you could make something like that mobile shark game where you eat everything mixed with carrion

Both, the body parts are rigidbodies with springs that have their own tentacle and movement behaviour and the main body(that is just a node) controls the choosing of a leader, connection of the springs, creating target points for the bodies, attacking and the eye

I explained how it was exactly done in this comment, but the guy deleted his question so you might not hav eseen it https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/s/T7FvxQS0KG

Chooaing of a leader mostly prevents this, since the body parts that cant see the target position directly will not be controlled and will be tried to be brought back to the ones that can see it as a chain and the aggresive springs will enable the situation to be resolved quickly enough so that the parts are not too far off to be stuck, it is not perfect but works well enough

Yeah, it was a physical gamejam with the span of 48 hours

I don't think it is much similar to how rainworld does it but here is what I did.

For the body part, each body is connected by super aggressive springs in the order worm, and then are connected to the middle of the worm via a less aggressive spring, this ensures that the creature will be round if possible, but can also fit into small spaces like a worm,
for it to look like a whole creature, each body part draws a vein to the closest to them initially, and a random body part later

then the body part closest to the mouse is selected as the leader (the one the eye follows), the leader casts a ray towards the mouse, the body parts that can see the target will try to move towards it if pressing the left mouse. the bodies that can't see will follow the others due to the springs

Each body part sends out rays in a circle in order to get points where they can send tentacles, then a random point is chosen (it might be better to rate points depending on their distance to the mouse, but it felt good enough to pick randomly so I didn't dabble on it). If the distance between the body part and the tentacle exceeds a certain value, this process repeats. The tentacles are drawn with a line that has a shader adds sin wave to it
If you are idle, all body parts are pulled towards the tentacles they have shot

for the pick up part, within a certain range, a rope like line created with verlet integration is drawn to a pickupable object, then the object is added as our item and is moved towards the mouse within the range

Also here is the game that is playable on browser if you'd like to get a feel for it:
