In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have to play each level in reverse in rewind mode so when it's normally played you can finish the level.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Really cool game, works flawlessly and has an excellent concept, Great job.
I didnt quite like the post processing, It would be nice to have an options menu to disable it. And I would love more levels
Overall, Excellent job, I really liked this game.

That's been a really cool game :) very nice concept, and really fun to play. well done
Playing each level is reverse is awesome, especially the boss battle. Each level is designed so it makes sense, and seeing the level played normally is a great reward all by itself!
I really liked the concept of playing the game backwards and also solving the puzzles in reverse. Some sound cues could have been good to signal whether you got to a blaster shot in time. I really like the introduction of new mechanics, it could have been great though to have a final level at the end that combines some of them, or makes you figure out what to do first (or better last) in the level. Like you need an enemy to survive until the end to activate a platform, so you have to kill it first etc.
Great job! If you have the time, it would be great to get some feedback on my entry as well. It's only my second game, so I appreciate every note I can get.
Nice approach to the theme of the jam, with nice art and level design, with a simple and interesting mini-boss battle. Only the music started to get a bit repetitive.
If you could, I would like to have your feedback on my game also.
I've seen this kind of take on the theme already, but this is by far the best implementation I've played. Once the rewind starts, it all comes together in a very satisfying way. Also, I did enjoy the visuals quite a bit, even though the same can not be said about the music.
Sadly, I've experienced a bug (image below) where the box pushed me into the door (or behind it) and I had to restart the level, which really isn't a big deal, but it shouldn't really be too hard to fix
Could have used a little bit of polish on teaching the players the flow of the game but overall well done!
This was really fun! You probably should have included some text for the areas where you have to kill enemies though, since it took me some trial and error to complete them. Also, the music was amazing and fit perfectly with the game!
Nice game!I wish some elements of it were explained a bit more, because I did get a little confused at the start until I got a hang of things. Other than that, the level design was great with cool mechanics and nice visuals. Well done :)
Very nice! It was really original. I loved your take on the theme!
Everything was polished and had a great feel. Good job!
Really awesome take on the theme. Pixel art was great and the juice felt good!
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!
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
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
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!
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
