In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player can shoot arrows attached with string that stick into objects. From there, the player can 'rewind' the string, pulling the arrow and whatever it is attached to back to the player.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all assets were custom made from scratch save the final boss theme (CC0)

Wow, this is a great game! I like everything about this game overall, the concept, the graphics and art, the music , the level design, the peeking mechanic - it's all so good! This honestly doesn't seem like a game jam game to me - except for one thing. When you peek you can see parts of the level that don't have any tiles. The camera doesn't usually go there so it's not a big deal but it is one thing I noticed that made this game seem a little less polished. Also, I don't know if I missed this but it would be great if there was just a button you could press to load checkpoint because I got stuck under some boxes. Other than that, this is one of my favourite entries!
Hey thanks for playing, and thank you so much for your input! I'm super glad you enjoyed!
