In what way does your game fit the theme?
When moving on ground, you charge up. At max charge, you can create a shadow that stores your position in that particular time frame. You can then rewind (blink) to that position at any time, which eats the shadow and resets your charge.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code.

I really like the music! Strange you didn't choose to use arrow keys and WASD though for 2 player controls. It probably would have worked better with 2 hands on a keyboard.
Also, having your shadow bar/amount thing increase only on the ground feels like a shame for a map with that much verticality. it encourages just running back and forth on the ground instead of jumping around which is arguably more fun.
The rewind mechanic is well done, the gameplay is fun, and the music and visuals work together nicely! Overall, great entry.
Thanks! I wanted both controls to mirror each other, so both players have a similar hand posture.
I plan to make custom key bindings and more maps – possibly some flatter ones :)
great game, more levels and it would be even better!, I really love the bouncing bullets makes for a unique fight lol.
It's a very good game, and I think that with more terrain it could be even better, in any case well done!
Thank you! I will make more map options in the next update.
I like the two player aspect, my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun playing this one :) This feels like Super Smash Bros with a teleport mechanic which is pretty cool. The bouncing bullets were also a clever mechanic and I hurt myself a lot lol.
My only suggestion involves the controls. I was on the ijkl controls, and I used my right hand, so I think I would've rather used U as a shoot mechanism so I could use my index finger.
Great job, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for trying my game! Glad you got to experience 2-player action :)
I tried to mirror the controls, since WASD is also for the left hand. I will implement custom key bindings in the next update.
what a fun little experience :D. one thing that would make it more engaging would be to make the rewind more dynamic like holding down the key you see the shadow gradually retracing your steps and then release it to get there or something like that
Thanks for the feedback! I did consider that, but I wanted it to be a fast-paced action game so opted for the instant blink.
cute graphics, fun gameplay! this game would be so good for mobile!
good job!
great game love the concept. and the art is realy cool.
Hi, neat concept. I wish I had a friend to play it with LOL. I did try the mechanics and controls as a single player and they are very interesting.
I liked the rewind mechanic as a means to escape your enemy, the visuals are really nice and the intro screen is very polished overall.
Good job
Thank you for the feedback! You do miss out on the fast-paced action you get in 2-player though.
Graphics,music and gameplay was good.
Thank you!
Music was good. Had a friend to play with so the game was really fun.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear :)
This is a nice game! Really like the music and the design.
Thanks for your feedback!
I had fun beating my wife. it's a fun dueling game. i like how the bullets push the other a lot. If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a cool /cute game to this jam and I hope you learned a lot of new stuff. When you have time, please check out my game :D
Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely continue to work on it once I receive all feedback from the jam. Definitely considering custom key bindings, new level maps and single player vs AI.
I'll check yours in a tick :)
The bounciness makes the duels really fun!
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't make a bullet limit so I made them bounce, so if you shoot it they can also hit you :)
Really cool idea! Loved the art and music. It would of have been cool to have a singleplayer mode, but still good job!
I'll try to build an AI for this in the future.
Game looks pretty nice but i dont have friend to play :( Instead i played with two hands :D But I didnt understand the rewind mechanic.
I hope you still had fun! It's very tough to control 2 players and you don't get as much action, though.
Rewind:
At full charge (when the purple bar flashes), you can press SPACE / SHIFT to create a shadow. You can move around freely. When you press SPACE / SHIFT again, you return to that shadow.
Main mechanic works well and feels fun, could do with a bit more polish though.
Thanks, can you expand on that?
Adding stuff like screen shake, particles, players flashing when they take damage would all give the game more impact and juice, otherwise the game looks and plays nice.
