In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player has to revisit a long time explored dungeon, and he's gonna need to rewind the time to make his path!
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except the music, the main theme is an old project track, and others sounds from the assets store, every one on the credits!

Your game looks and feels amazing and super polished, congrats! But please do tell me how it works, my brain just cannot comprehend how to beat the first level... I keep on restarting at the beginning, no matter what I do, I'm beginning to think that I'm quite stupid.
Thanks! appreciate the comment!
You can be on the present or the past,, you switch between with -R-, you cannot touch the magic circle when they're big(the small one dont do anything to you) or you get back at the beggining, same with the falls, if you fall from to high, you restart( my bad there, I din't explain that on game)
For destroy the circles, you can go back in time, and interact with the orbs with -E- some circles can get destroyed like this, not all, and when you get back at the present they not longer there.
To avoid the falling damage you have to jump on the wall in front, and wallsliding, you can also walljump!
Hope you can beat it, if you need something else tell me!
Thanks for playing it! :)
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WHY DID NOT PUT A POP UP FOR THAT XD.
edit: i meant to say a speech bubble
Oh I see, so the fall always killed me! I guess it would be good to make that more obvious, I didn't get that at all :D But with this new knowledge I will give the game another try, thanks!
I'm such a big fan for this kind of art style, its really good, everything from the environments to the UI and anything in between, i love the atmosphere that you had built, really awesome game here
Thanks a lot for this comment! Appreciate it! I've try to go as far I can. Im glad you've liked! :)

Sure I'll play yours!
This game is absolutely beautiful! The graphics are so impressive for a game jam! I also liked how you led the player through the controls one by one- it made it very easy to catch on.
If you get a chance, please check out my game too. I hope you like it! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722658
Thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback :)
Of course I'll play yours!
Thanks again!
A beautifull and fun game!
Thanks! appreciate the comment! Im playing yours! I rate it soon! :)
Big Thanks! appreciate the comment! :)
One of my favorites. The graphics and level design are great. The puzzle effect is good. Music becomes a bit tedious quickly...some sound effects on moments of death or so would also be good. I once looked away from the screen due to the dog and found out I was back at the start of the level, not knowing why :D
Thanks a lot for the feedback, appreciate it! I know the dead wasn't on point srry for that! thanks again, i'll try your game soon!
The graphic assets are beautiful, love the environment! I also really liked the mechanic, going back and forth between the timelines to see the differences and use them to progress. I think my biggest critique is the lack of a death animation and how sensitive fall damage is (several times I feel like the fall is safe when it wasn't).
Big thanks! appreciate the comment! I implement the death mechanic at last time, normaly you just go back when you touched the magic things, but it wasn't hard enough to just avoid it, so I put the falling damage at last! I'll do better on the next! thanks again :)
i loved this game. it was a bit difficult to understand everything but in my opinion is one of the most beautiful so far.
Thanks a lot! i appreciate the feedback! sorry for that, I haven't explain weel the falling damage and also the action you must do! i'll do better next time!
thanks again and i'll check your game now!
The graphics and sound were very good and I enjoyed the game.
Thanks a lot! Appreciate the comment :)
The art is amazing, but the game is abit confusing. Great work
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate.
I suposse you die when falling, X) I put falling damage, so you have to wallsliding, my fault, dindt explain on game, I've thought it's gonna be more intuitive!
Thanks again! I'll play yours!
Graphics & sound are on top! :) The game feels very complete.
The downside I observed was that it's hard to understand what to do in the cave, I always died when jumping off to the third ramp.
I'd appreciate if you try our game too! :) https://hadilepanda.itch.io/corewind
Thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback.
my bad, it's the falling damage, i was thinking about a pop up text like the instruction, explaining you should jump on the wall, but i dont put it at the end srry!
Thanks again! I'll play yours for sure!
Oh ok that was confusing indeed, I tried the game again and went enjoyed playing it! I also left the main menu open for half an hour to listen to that beautiful music haha
Haha thanks! It's the second time I use that song, i was thinking, should I put a menu song? An then this one pop in my head XD
I dont know why, but I being rewinded everytime I felt into the 3rd floor. Could you tell me how to pass the path ??
Mi bad sorry, dindt explain the fall damage, you should jump on the wall and wallsliding
A very beautifully crafted game !! Loved the graphics and loved the concept !! Awesome game !!
Thanks a lot! Appreciate the feedback and srry for the late answer, din't see your comment!
I love the atmosphere you went for! My only complaint (and it's a small one) would be that certain parts can be a little tricky to figure out, not in the fun "It's a mystery!" way but more as in "I have no idea what I'm doing and what my actions provoke" way haha
Really nice game otherwise, and it's really nice to see that kind of mood from a jam game!
Thanks! appreciate the feedback!
Maybe some pop up text will be nice to put where it's not super intuitive.
thanks again! :)
You're welcome! Yeah, it might be a good idea! Then again, I can't really throw you the stone considering my own entry has the exact same issue, if not worst...
Move = A/D
Jump = space
Interact = E
Rewind = R
Quit = ESC
Try to avoid Time magic barriers or falling from the top of the cliff.
Rewind the time to change the present and revisit the place where every things begun!
Enjoy!
