Nice game. The rewind mechanic is implemented very well. Liked your take on the theme. Some leveles are a bit mind-bending but it works as soon as you get why you need to do the things you need to do. Great entry!

Submitted

This game is very nice.  The music choice, designs and effects are all great.  However the levels are very cryptic, I think a few more hints could make the game more fun in general or maybe an easy mode that has dialogue that explains the solution after some time.  I couldn't finish the game now, but I'll definitely try to beat it next time.  This doesn't detract that much from the satisfaction of seeing the level in reverse (or forwards?) at the end, this bit is great!

This an amazing game i really loved the concept of playing in rewind then at the end the levels plays itself is really unique and immersive this is one of the best submissions overall amazing job well done 

Submitted

Took me a while to understand the concept, but it was really cool. The audio was a bit weird for me, after pressing R a few times it was just a mash of sound, but apart from that looked really polished

Submitted

Really neat concept! I like the graphics and the movement felt nice! I was pretty confused on what I had to do though. I ended up beating the game without knowing how!

Anyway, this was a really nice entry. Great job!

Really Interesting take! The level design is key in this kind of game and you pull it off well! It would be cool to have a pause button through, just to be able to quite the game or go back to the main menu. Over all solid entry! Check out my game too if you want (https://georgeking22.itch.io/timetravel)

Took a minute to get what you were doing.  But the "Ah ha!" moment was well worth it.  Especially w the alien ships.  That was pretty cool.  Well done!

Submitted

Alien parts took me a while to figure out. was like huuuh, I have to jump to the aliens or something? Cool concept and final level. I like the dithering and graphics too

Submitted

Nice idea easy and funny! The graphic is well done. Good job!

Submitted

Nice idea and graphics are awesome! My idea was initially similiar to yours but I abandoned it, happy to see someone making it though!

Submitted

A very well made and well furnished game. I found no bugs and the level design and mechanics were outstanding. I was really taken aback by the final Boss Fight. It was just soo verryyy coooooolll. I enjoyed the game a lot. Just some more work on the audio an this would be a full fledged release.

Could please take some time to rate my game too? I would really appreciate it. Its not as good as yours but it will be very awesome if you could give your opinion of it.

This is one of the BEST games  of the jam. Super inventive and the puzzling was fun. It made me as the player feel like I was doing something amazing when the level would rewind and everything seemed to fall into place. Satisfying game. ..

Submitted

It's a very interesting take on the rewind theme. It's cool to undo everything that a normal player would do then watch the character do everything in the proper flow of time. Even the music flowing with the time was a nice touch. Good job!

Submitted

Nice idea, I thought it was pretty cool. I got stuck on the space invader level because of a bug I think. People said you had to intentionally get hit, but the enemy never attacked. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm not sure. The visuals and everything else were great though

Submitted

One of the best game I played in this Jam. Awesome interpretation of the theme and perfect execution. The game is fun and well polished, great job!

Submitted

Really fun game! Some feedback:

  • Enjoyable graphics, with some good retro VFX
  • Gameplay:
    • I think the first few levels was Ok, and I thought the rewind mechanic did not really do anything, it just plays everything in reverse, so there was no way you could lose the beginning levels in reverse. The rewind mechanic comes in to play when the "space invader" enemy levels start. Initially wasn't sure what to do for those levels, but soon realise that I need to take the hits from them & to reverse the hits back to them - weird but definitely unique. I think the final level with the rockets was similar with the beginning levels - if you are able to reach the left door, then in rewind, you will never lose until you reach the right door.

Overall, has some simple but interesting & fun levels! Thanks for letting me play :)

Do check out & rate my game too if you can!

Cool game and really cool art style, Great work...

Come on over and check out my entry if you like, its a short adventure game... :)

I really like how you implemented the theme. Having the player play in reverse is a really fun twist in the sea of games where the game plays back in reverse. And it's also implemented really well, with fun levels, nice art and fun references to other games.
I always try to give useful feedback, but in this case I have nothing else to add other than that I wish there were more levels, because I really enjoyed this game. Great job!

I'd really appreciate it if you would have a look at my game as well, and be sure to download the smaller version :D

Submitted

Good concept, the art style is nice and also the music, only thing is that the progression of difficulty is to much based on add more of that enemies and I personal prefere it to be more about the puzzles, anyways Nice Job!
