You can rewind the game in 2 ways. Pressing space (minor) and collecting the clock powerup to rewind to the checkpoint on death (major)

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code and art is by me and my team (check credits). The music, however, is from Eric Matyas at soundimage.org

Had a lot of fun

Cool game, would’ve been nice to have the player go a touch faster perhaps, and maybe some kind of ghost/outline so that the player knows where they’re rewinding back to because I found that hard to judge. Nice stuff in there though :)

Submitted

Boy this was a tough game. I think the biggest problem was that it was very hard to see the enemy. The only way you could see where you were shooting would be to go very close to them, but you risk getting hit by a bunch of bullets. Other than that though, the game was pretty great. There were multiple enemies with different attack modes and the game felt very intense all throughout. Great job!

Submitted

nice little game! maybe I would prefer auto shooting but other than that neat :D

Extremely solid music. I think the player was a little slow but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Although I think you should lower the difficulty a little bit and explain the weapons and drop system more on the first level.

Submitted

Nice classic game! I enjoyed the game a lot but maybe i will tweak the player shooting values and movement a bit. Overall great game!

Hi, feels nice! There're some things you can improve - make player's bullets faster and maybe put camera further so you can choose how to dodge bullets more strategically

Submitted

I agree. Those changes would help.

That Escalated quickly Very addictive, would have been cool to get an upgrade after the firts level,
Found your game in discord server
Consider checking out my game, fun little adventure.

Cheers

I'd recommend increasing the speed of the player's bullets, giving the player some indication of where an enemy is when they're offscreen, and make a smoother difficulty curve. Right now, I'm finding the game impossible to get past level 2 without the assault rifle

Submitted

Cool game, similar to a .io game, but cool and fun

Submitted

Remind me of agar.io, very cool keep up the good work, put ur focus on the art in the next update 🤍

Submitted

I love the time rewind mechanic but i feel like everything's just a bit slow. Overall, well done :)

Submitted

A fun bullet hell i could see myself playing to make a few minutes pass by. It would be nice to see the rewind utilised in a more unique way but other than that, good job.

Submitted

Wow this is really fun! I wish that the weapons would add up to make you more powerful over time! Also the controls didnt feel that responsive. Aside from that it was really fun to shoot. Nice!

Submitted

nice art! the boss is a little tuough but other than that everything is good! :D

Submitted

The Game is really cute, can be a bit too difficult. The second enemy needs a bit of a nerf, or you need a bit of a buff. Other than that its fun!

Submitted

So please don't take all the negative feedback too personally! 

I just really suck at this game and never got past the 2nd enemy before giving up.


Things I liked:

  • This bullet hell game never felt too unfair! It was challenging but surmountable. I'm definitely amazed at how well this game played for only being worked on for a week!
  • The music is dope. Combined with the black grid and simple graphics, you definitely made an environment that really felt like a computer simulation! So the setting for the environment is great!
  • From what I can see in the screenshots (since I suck and couldn't get very far in the game), it looks like you have a lot of enemy variety and level variety too! It looks like each level is its own unique challenge, and so it'll keep the player engaged. Which is obviously very important!

Things I Didn't Like:

  • Everytime I press the space bar it feels like I'm rewinding too far back. This was probably intentional for difficulty, but it made the rewind feature feel more like a nuissance than an advantage. So I tried to avoid using it.
  • When you die, you immediately get sent back to the main menu with no delay. I thought the game was glitching out, I didn't realize that it was sending me back because I died. Maybe you can make the player explode, and then wait 2 or 3 seconds before reloading to the main menu?
  • Maybe make the powerups  grow and shrink in size quickly instead of making them static images? That way I know that they're interactible. I honestly didn't know they were powerups on first glance, but figured it out pretty quickly!
  • Not being able to shoot an enemy if they were off-screen. I should be allowed to shoot the enemies when they're off-screen since they're able to shoot me off-screen. 


Overall, great job! Feels like a full fledged game even if I didn't get the chance to play most of it!
