Good job! I love the idea where you need to rewind to previous levels! It makes for interesting level design! I feel like the movement was really unresponsive. Jumping would take about half a second to actually jump, and movement felt "glitchy" or hard to control. Although, the graphics are nice and the theme was well implemented!

The game was super fun and the graphis are amazing!

Submitted

Very nice game!!! It fits perfectly the theme, the particle effects are a great touch as well as the bounciness of the character. Another great point is the light and that old video filter. In my opinion, the jump was a bit hard but anyway, a very good entry. Keep working hard!

I would really appreciate if you could check out my game!!!

I liked the game design and the audio, but the jump delay disrupts the gameplay a bit.

But the game has great potential.

Submitted

Nice game, but the jump delay was really annoying

Submitted

Great aesthetics. Love the look of the game. The sound the buttons make really annoyed me though, and the general smoothness of the movement needs some improvement. Other than that great job with the game!

Submitted

Cool game, but the jump delay really annoyed me. Other than that, everything was quite good.

Submitted

The jump should feel instant.

Submitted

Creative idea! Would make controls a bit more responsive and allow for more air-strafing.

Submitted

Really cool twist on the theme, it fit and was all in all really fun, good work!

Submitted

Great idea and implementation of the theme, but I came across a bug that prevented me from from proceeding through the seconds level, after you use the rewind power up, you can not use it again, so I just got stuck in their. Overall a good experience :D  Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968

amazing game a very creative take on the theme well done.

Submitted

This game was really clean and fun. It had simple art but made a beautiful aesthetic. The only problems I had was that you jump when you release the spacebar and not when you press it. Also, there are no checkpoints. I don't know if this was done on purpose to make the game harder but overall it was a great game.

Submitted

Interesting game but it doesn’t have checkpoints and I don’t feel like restarting the game over and over again just to get past where I got.

Submitted

Nice Game, great graphics. Only thing I didn´t like was the "charge Jump" or jump on release mecanic.

The lighting and atmosphere is nice! There were some issues with the game pausing after pressing restart and space. I feel like restart should take you back to the beginning of the room instead of the entire game since it feels a bit punishing. The rewind block works for the most part, though stage elements don't seem to rewind their visuals so it appears like I clip through lasers and doors. I think the player should be able to move into the keys and buttons without having to collide with them.

Overall, this has been well done!

Developer

the rewind block's function is to only rewind the player not the environment. And the player should always be on top of them I'll check if there is any clipping through.

Wow! really good job! the graphics are stellar! This is really polished and fun. My only complaints are that you jump like a second after pressing the button which feels unnatural and makes it hard to plat form, and that there doesn’t seem to be checkpoints so if you restart you have to restart from the vary beginning

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I actually have a checkpoint implemented but just for testing purpose. Yes, the player only jumps after you release the jump button. Many people seem to complain about this, I'll improve on that.

Submitted

Pretty nice concept

Submitted

Loved itt !! Awesom game !!

Submitted

I like it, but the jump is a little bit delayed. in rest. everything is good!
