Really cool mechanic! The level design is also really good!

Very clever! I enjoyed this intepretation of the game and I love how it can look so simple yet make you think. I kep getting confused and rewinding the wrong robot thankfully it was never to the point that it made the level unwinable plus you have a restart button so its fine. My only feedback is maybe adding other options for rewinding the robots for dumb people like me who kept pressing the wrong button. Maybe let me click on the one to rewind so that way I know I'm making the one I desire move. :D

One last thing...looks like the audio only comes out of the left speaker. I thought it was my headphones so I tried my pc speaker. Then I played something else and noticed it only happens with your game. :)

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I used the wrong audio option, so that's definitely an issue. You're supposed to position it where you want the sound to be coming from, but that's not at all what I wanted. I'd definitely also add some sort of remapping, as a lot of people had problems with the controls.

The game was super fun and used the theme in a super unieq way

I'm a sucker for clever puzzle games, so I might be a tad bit biased, but this game was great.

The mechanic is simple and intuitive, and the puzzles seem to have infinite potential. The puzzles all seem deceptively easy, but do really make you think at times (as a good puzzle game should). Fantastic!

Great entry. Liked that the rewind mechanic were for both the red and blue characters. Great job!

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

5/5! The idea is simple but leads to very cleaver puzzles, the level design is amazing, each level focusing on an idea and implication of the rules and exploring it while also making sure you actually understood it by making you do it twice in two scenarios (I might be really wrong here but that's how I see it). It is amazing. Probably the best game I have seen in the jam.

Music is also really good though the sfx may be a bit too loud.
