In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player is suspended from a tether and lowered into The Chasm. Now, as the tether rewinds, the player must survive ascent.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all code for game logic and artwork myself. I used audio assets from online.

Neat. You put a different spin on the theme and it works. I wish I could control the speed at which I ascend for that extra bit of challenge. You know speed up or go at the normal speed (no slow downs, the speed as it is right now works).
Question: why didn't he collect all the crystals on the way down? :P lol (Don't answer, I'm just being silly)

Rewind ErrFrank really DOES look anxious with those eyes. LOL. Nice entry with the jam time. Death scream made me laugh out loud literally.
Could you please play and rate my game as well?

ORBI (A Survival Game)good game. it probably could have used a nice creepy soundtrack though.

bird cannonWow great game! I enjoyed the ominous music that let's you know right away to expect something scary. The rewind of the robe is a take on the rewind theme I guess. What would have made it funner is if the player could repel/rewind for a few seconds and fight the enemies and collect stuff. You could then make the enemies vary in complexity and the hazards more complex to navigate. Nice game.

TimeBeatPretty good, game ! I enjoyed the theme and the gameplay was well-made!

Supataimu Sentai ULTRAall in all a great game! I love the effect of the camera zooming in when in a small channel, it gives such a claustrophobic feel! I feel a little cheated by the cutscene when he picks up a crystal that doesn't get added to my count. There seems to be a glitch that does not allow me to use the gun on the final level.

Ghosts of the PastsLoved the atmosphere. The art and sound really achieve that thriller/horror feel.
Killing demon goats was super fun. I got destroyed by the birds.

Rewind GameThe game had a really cool it had a great atmosphere, I love the paranoid look the character has. The monsters were very creepy! The theme wasn't very obvious, I had to look at the reason given but it is actually a cool use of the theme. Definitely thought outside the box.

The Dungeon Of Deja VuA fun and creepy game. Nice atmosphere. I also really dig the poor main character's bugged out eyes. How did he get down there in the first place? The creatures were appropriately unnerving. Well done!

Eugene's Casualties of CausalityWay more fun than I first expected! I really quite liked the execution of the tether mechanic
