I really enjoyed this one! I like the art style and felt the game was very solid.
Thank you!
Very fun game, it was satisfying to play. The only things I would say are maybe have the clouds respawn after some time so you don't just have to reset every time. Also, I found a bug were the music doesn't loop and eventually cuts out. Other than that I had a lot of fun, nice job
Thank you! I agree I should have made the clouds respawn, and yeah, I forgot to loop the music, so that was why it cuts off. Oops.
448 sec 6/8 coins. It's not very good, but i did it. The game is fun, a bit rage-inducing, but it is to be expected from this kind of games. I liked the visuals too. The only feedback i can give you is the fact that the music stops at some point, the theme is a bit weak (are the bat rewind bats too?) and i felt like the jump was a bit unresponsive near the edges of the platforms, but this is just an impression
Nice job finishing! Yeah, I forgot to loop the music, that was just a simple mistake. I will definitely use the theme better in the future, thanks for your input!
This game is well executed, looks polished. Loved the art and the concept. I actually thought the fun going to run out after a while, but that's not true, It's really fun to play till the end and I enjoyed it very much (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
Thank you very much!
Cute platformer. Had fun and liked the multi jumps on the wall.
Could you please play and rate my game too?

Thank you! Sadly I can't play your game as I have a mac and the download was not working. I'm very sorry, it looks very cool though!
no prob. will have a mac version.... but can't post till after they open it back up ;-(
I liked the game, the screen wrapping was very nicely implemented! I loved the graphics as well! My one complaint would be that the rewinding aspect isn't that clear. I had to read your description to figure it out but even then it feels more like a restart mechanic, just like an enemy in other games. Overall I liked it though!
I agree, I should have used the theme better. Thank you!
A simple and good platformer game. Nothing much to say, it plays really well and is kinda fun. Only criticism I can give is that, it does not really fit the theme, "rewind".
Thank you! I'll make sure next game jam I do I use the theme better.
I really liked how you introduced the screenwrapping early on and kept using it. Without that, I would've gotten stumped and not enjoyed the platforming puzzles as much as I did.
Thank you! I love the mechanic.
Good game, quite polished. The sound effects and graphics were consistent and nice. I wish the gameplay evolved a little bit more but it was still fun regardless. Great job!
Thank you!
A very solid game, with a good level design, great job!
Thank you!
I like the music, tho it randomly stopped playing. The game is also very beautiful. The game is EXTREMELY punishing. If you miss a single jump, restart. Those cloud things dont even respawn.
Yeah I must have forgotten to loop the music, oops. I tried to make the game hard, although I do think I probably should have made the clouds respawn. Thank you!
Bruh. On my other game jam game ( gmtk jam ) I forgot to loop it at first, I changed later tho. Respawning will make the game less "ragy".
Great game!, very fun aswell, would be nice if it could be played in full screen tho, besides from that it was awsome!
Thank you! This was my first game jam, so I honestly just forgot to make full screen an option. It might not work that well with the aspect ratio anyway, but thank you for the feedback!
this was really fun. I could see this as a mobile game for sure if you made more levels! Also the screen-wrapping fit the idea of the game perfectly.
Thank you!
Had a lot of fun playing this game! Really liked the level designs and how the screen was a loop. Also, the art was very great.
Thank you!
A really well polished game! Big probs for making it! Had a lot of fun. Also like the whole idea of going to the other side by going off screen :D Well done. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
Thank you! I checked out your game, its really great!
A very polished game making use of clever mechanics
Thank you! Your game was incredibly creative!
Great game!!! The controls are great, super smooth!! Had a good time playing it
Thanks, I loved your game too!
Really cool game! The movement was very responsive and it felt smooth. Loved the art. :)
Thank you very much!
That was a lot of fun! I really like how you can teleport to the other side of the level by going off the screen! I just wish it was a bit more clear on how to do that since it took me a while to figure out. But the game design is really good and interesting. Nice work!
Thank you! I really couldn't decide how to word it in the tutorial, and I don't think I settled on a very good solution. Luckily it seems most people have figured it out!
Man I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get on that first platform until I went off the screen by accident lol. Nice job. The controls are nice and the soundfx's line up nicely. I like how rewind is your enemy it seems. I think there might have been a bug in the level with the clouds? I hit the first cloud from below and destroyed it and had no way to get up or reset the level.
Actually that was intended, if you press r it resets the level. That and the screen wrapping was all explained in the tutorial, maybe it should have been in the first level though. Thanks for playing!
Ohh tutorial!! I completely missed/skipped that :p Yeah make that the first level for us lazy people haha.
Thanks for the feedback!
