Very cool game! Reminds me of Fractured But Whole's combat system mixed with Necrodancer. Like everyone else is saying, a tutorial would have made this game perfect!

I thought this was a very cool project! I haven't seen too many other games like it in this Jam, too! I do think it would benefit from an opening tutorial, but love that you can go pacifist! When developing it further, maybe some additional animations for enemy attacks would be good too! Well done and I hope you continue to work on this! :)
Great Job! The Graphics were really good and outstanding. Also I was a bit confused at the beginning as I overlooked the key mapping :D
All in all a great game!
Nice aesthetics! Lacks some effects though, I think. Some attack visualization for enemies would be nice (I saw only 'Arrow shoot' and others are not visualized). Liked the rewind visual effect. It is simple, but it worked for me
Looks cool! I think it can be turned into a decent strategy game. I wish the enemies had some more move varieties or maybe had a better targeting system. It was too easy to dodge them.
This is very good for your first game! I like the art style, and it is very impressive that you made it all from scratch. I especially liked that there are different options of how to win (Genocide/Pacifist). That is very unique and makes it more interesting.
If you get a chance, please try my game. I hope you like it! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722658
Love the retro style art and turn based gameplay. Felt like i was playing an arcade game!
Great presentation and pretty fun game. Didnt really feel rewind theme on this one but it doesnt matter that much.
