In what way does your game fit the theme?
2 things came in to mind when I first hear the theme. Special rewind ability, and Youtube Rewind.
Similar to how Youtube Rewinds are showcases of the most popular cringe or cat videos. This will be a homage to games I enjoyed during the first half of 2020 with a twist!
When your character dies, he would rewind to the start of the level. If you choose to play as a different character, your previous character would replay the actions you have taken in its previous life.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I have coded everything myself (thanks to Brackey's videos) and made most of the art assets myself. I have used purchased game assets which are stated in the game page, mostly for map tilesets and sound

A bit difficult, but enjoyable game. Liked the references to the other games, and also liked the mechanic of the rewind. I feel like the enemies are too hard, maybe its because of the speed of their projectiles, which are hard to dodge
Thank you. The projectiles are not meant to be dodge, but more hiding in cover to avoid them, but I might reduce the speed to give the player the chance to dodge it, thanks for the feedback!
Some more player feedback on various things would make your game look and feel way more polished
Cool game! I like how the rewind mechanic works. It's not that punishing to the player because you can just rewind 1 player you think needs a rewind, which is very nice. Also I like the art and sounds. Great job
Very cool and the difficulty is just right, forcing the player to come up with different strategies.
Just one nitpick: you could have added an ending screen or just sent the player back to the main menu after completing the last level, without realizing I ended up playing the last level two or three times.
Fun game, very challenging
Very cool game. It is very hard though
Really cool game!
The theme is similar to our original idea!
Got my rate!
Make sure to check out our game too if you want!
Super cool use of the rewind theme. I also love that you can see the "FPS hands" on the VR guy
Glad you like the hands, wasn't sure if there were too distracting or not
Really cool! Reminds me of enter the gungeon, but a lot more chaotic (which is good!). The second level was a bit hard though
Definitely wasn't heavy inspired by that game at all :P
Yea I agree, even I struggled through it during the final play test
Really cool game! The character dying and rewinding is fun and can be chained into some cool outcome to defeat the enemy. I like the pixel art design as well. Nice job!
Thank you, glad you like the idea!
Really nice idea! I really like how you choosed to give an homage to the games you enjoy and made it into a fun game, while manteining the characters quirks mixed on the gameplay. My main complaint is that the blue guys shoot from all the way across the level, making it really difficult sometimes, but overall it's a very fun game with an amazing art : D . Congrats!
Thank you, "ideally" they would approach the character when you break their line of sight or out of range, but didn't have time to fine tune the range properly.
I'm really impressed that you got this much done in one week! I had fun trying out all the characters with their different abilities. I also like how you implemented the rewind mechanic, it allows you to utilize all three characters instead of just picking one and running with it.
Didn't have much going on last week so I spent all my time making it, glad you enjoyed the game!
This game definitely shines with the artstyle! the different characters and abilities mechanic is really appreciated, not that easy to do something like that in the duration of a jam. Well done :D
First time doing pixel art, glad you liked it :D
good game i really like the artstyle well done
Thank you!
I really like the take on the theme, thinking about setting up combos for my future was pretty interesting. The art was very well done as well.
One nit picky thing is that sometimes it seems an item will be highlighted when its slightly out of range.
Thank you, I don't know why it does that, but I ain't gonna fix something that ain't broken anymore, learnt it the hard way during the jam XD
ok, this is amazing. Good job! love that you can play character with different abilities, it means a lot of replayability
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great take on the theme, had a lot of fun trying to get the runs just right. also really loved the VR hands.
Thank you! First time doing pixel art and animation, glad you like them.
I could see myself spending hours in this game if it had and endless game-mode or more levels. The different characters could be more balanced but overall, this is a highly enjoyable game which feels satisfying to play.
Was hoping to have more levels, but ran of time, glad you enjoyed it!
Hm, cool. I am not quite sure what to do in level 1 after you walk into that pitch black darkness though.
I found myself not really using Nuk because of how fragile he felt. Doom guy was clearly OP. :P
Yea.. Forgot to add an invisible wall there, cause the level was meant to end when all enemies are killed :P
Nuk's meant to be the back line sniper, while the other 2 are up front drawing the enemies aggro. And yea, definitely messed up Doom guy's balancing.
Pause menu is a little buggy, but the game overall is pretty fun!
PS Alyx Guy is the Best Guy
Glad you like the game!
I spent a lot of time making sure he retains the feeling of grabbing from VR
