In what way does your game fit the theme?
The level environment can rewind to give the player some advantage of controlling the enemies movements.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I used tutorials for the code and some copy/paste. I use assets from the asset store for level design, due to the time I was able to commit to the game jam. If I had more time I would have made them in Blender.

Finally got past level one. More difficult than it looks and I really enjoyed it
Interesting idea, but I agree with the other comments that the learning curve is much to steep. I didn't even get past the first level. The graphics and sound effects were nice though.
Really great concept and the levels you have are good for the game play. I was a bit sad the volume slider didn't work for me though :C
Nice simple game
I find that the difficulty curve is a bit steep, I ended up dying several times at the begining of the level while trying to understand the level layout. Way too many hazards and not enought time to read the level.
I would just add a small time window at the begining of the level to get familiar with the environment before starting all the deadly elements. And the lasers are also a pain LOL
Good job

An interesting idea which I found both fun and challenging. With a bit of difficulty balancing at the beginning this game would be even better. Good job!
Thanks so much foe the rating and comments. I just fixed most the bugs users in the comments had with the game. After the Game Jam i will re-post.
The art and way that the level is spinning is unique and adds another aspect to beating the level. It would be nice to have a nice indicator of when the reverse time is going to end.
An interesting idea, however it wasn't executed the best way possible. There is no real instructions at all on how to beat the game or what the black ball is, and the only instructions are the controls. I got the hang of it eventually, but it can be enjoyed more with a better tutorial. Overall, good idea, and not so good execution. Please play my game, as it only has 2 ratings. Thanks!
A good game. But waiting too much after die. Also there is a problem with the settings I cannot change them also when I die they are default again so even if I could change them I would need to do the same thing every single time I pass the level or die. ....and a little bit difficult
the sound alone changing every level is already nice(although it doesnt loop). maybe when collided with enemy, theres an interval second before you can collide again? because my health got spammed after colliding with it that i thought its 1hit K.O. when colliding with enemy.
It was a little annoying having to wait so long after I died to get back into it. Still though, a solid submission!
the visual is great! Good job on completing! :D
One thing, maybe you could add a singleton in the music player? its restart everytime i die. Cheers!
Thanks for the tips and the nice comments. I will definitely look into it.
Nice idea, but the controls felt a little unresponsive to me :)
Thanks for rating and commenting! I will definitely work on the mechanics.
Easy to learn, hard to master, and I enjoyed the puzzles a lot. It is tough to trick the enemy into moving where you want them to, but not too difficult that it's frustrating. The game also looks nice and the music is great as well. Nice work!
Thanks so much for the rating and kind comments!
With a visual style that makes it easy to tell what's what, audio that is just right for the visuals, and easy-to-learn gameplay, this game is enjoyable all the way through.
Admittedly, I forgot about the rewind buttond and ended up just waiting for the level to spin back around, but the fact that it was fun that way as well is a testament to the gameplay more than anything.
Great game, it was a little nauseating seeing the level spin around but the game itself was pretty good.
Thanks for rating and commenting! I may slow do the spin a little in the future and double the rewind speed.
Awesome job on a first jam game, fun and pretty difficult... although unlike another user above it's the movement I forgot to use instead of the rewind so I couldn't figure out the first level for a minute lol... I like the "Controls for gamers hehe" :)
Thanks for the comments and ratings! I am glad people like the game and will definitely work on improvements.
It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to remember to use the rewind mechanism to solve the second level haha. It was hard but addicting! Tricking the enemy and getting that star is definitely a good feeling.
I think it could benefit from having an easier learning curve. A way that you could do that would be making the enemy move/accelerate slower so you could try and outrun them, especially when you break a box that they are right on the other side of.
Overall, this was a fun little game!
Thanks for the feedback. I finally settled down on this game after a few wasted days of exploration. I wish I had that time back so I could make it better. Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it!
It was quite hard, but most of all I liked how much music there is in the game. It doesnt get boring! Also the rewinding mechanic worked, but kinda felt out of place tbh... But aside from that I like the unique idea you presented :)
Thanks so much for the review! I agree about the rewind being out of place. I think it would be better if I double the rewind speed. All and all I am pleased as it was my first game jam, and I learned a lot!
Thats what counts :3
Fun and really hard game. Also loved the music.
Thanks for the review! I have a lot of ideas on how I could make the levels easier and more challenging. I hope to add to this game or build on the idea in the future.
I like the art style and soundtrack for the game. But I noticed that the audio sliders didn't work. I also noticed that you still died even when you completed the level, which I found to be a bit strange. Other than that, it was pretty good.
Thanks for your review. Would have loved to play tested the game more and squash those issues. After the game jam I will fix them. I am looking forward to expanding this idea more.
