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.

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!
