Ranked from 66 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Our game is 2.5D Shooter that lets you rewind time up to 10 seconds depending on your score. So instead of respawning every time from the start location, the player can go back in time and survive.

Do note if you rewind too much after you die your character will freeze if instantly killed after rewinding time. It happens when you rewind less than 10 seconds and die instantly.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code is written by our talented programmers and all the assets are made from scratch but exclude the explosion, shotgun, explosion sound effect, bullet impact, and skybox assets.

I like your game and the Doom-like shooter style. I have to admit that the first monster scared me because when I turn back it was there :D. Also at the begining I was trying to reload the gun with the R key I was not getting why the monsters reappeared but It was my fault.

Pretty good game

Developer

haha, i can imagine those things happening to you in the game, same thing happened as i play tested them. The old exploding enemy had a even more jump scare.

I love the idea that you can use your score to rewind and gin some health/ammo back, but my only problem is that the rewinding you can do after you die should probably cost score too- and at that, probably a lot more score than normal rewinding. As of right now dying is absolutely free so the optimal strategy is to just let yourself die and then rewind. There are also a few too many health packs that spawn- it can be pretty easy to just sit in a big pile of them and not have to die. With that said, this game is still really great. I love the art and sound, and it's really fun and satisfying to play. Nice job!

Thank you for trying out the game, ill try to fix that tomorrow maybe

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We were having problems with the rewind after death so it was nearly scraped but if my team still wants to work on the game we can add your suggestions. The health and ammo packs spawn was a difficult choice as I ultimately decided to make the game feel too easy than too difficult as it is an endless runner I wanted to make the runs last longer. It was intended for a more hardcore audience but we wanted to make it fun for everyone to play. Thank you again for your feedback <3

Hi, you've made a  solid Doom-like shooter. Fun to play, until you are surrounded by 50 of these burning heads. Well done made.

Developer

Developer

I like it! I gotta say, those guys creeped me out a little bit.

Developer

I had a few jump scares while testing it, hahah. Thanks for playing will play and rate your games in a bit.

I like the old school style of it

Nice game! good job on the art. 

Though I have to say that the rewind mechanic is pretty basic. It pretty much reloads the last checkpoint in the game. Nonetheless it has pretty fun game play, good art & atmosphere. Rated your game!

Do play & rate mine too :)

Developer

The rewind mechanic is more complicated than that. It rewinds everything back 10 seconds or less depending on your score. So that includes doors , bullets , pickups , enemies position etc. It doesn't reload to the last check point, it takes you back in time.  Please, try the game more and give it another chance as our programmer worked very hard to implement the feature. 

I'm glad you enjoyed the art aspect of the game , I will check your game out as soon as I can. Thanks :D
