In what way does your game fit the theme?
The first half of the game is a shoot-em-up. In the second half of the game, time reverses, and you must dodge the bullets that you previously fired.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Great concept. I admit I played the game without reading the description first, and... well, the twist really surprised me! By the way, the game is really fun and the use of the theme is awesome. Good job!
I love the art, and the movement is interesting, pretty fun! The part where they circle you on phase 3 is way too hard though.
Well I didn't notice at first. But did you just submit "40 SECONDS BEFORE DEADLINE" ????? Thats such a LOL moment!!!
Awesome concept. Really unlucky that cant hear the audio (my fault, my speakers are not ok), Well in the Phase 1. The enemies could be killed without even moving, so during rewind standing still out of the way did the job. However, loved the graphics and gameplay. Also loved how the controls were super simple and how you spiced up the old genres of classical arcade games into this master piece.
Would love, if you could spare some time to check out my game!
Very creative thinking. The rewind part i got stuck on at how annoying the bullets were. Other than that good game.
"The real bullet hell was the bullets we fired along the way" uwu
Super fun and invenntive, well worth a play!
Cool take on the theme. I made something remotely similar.
