Ranked from 8 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic of the game is the ability to turn back time on moving objects(bullets) which in essence is to rewind.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code myself, created the sound effects in Bfxr, made some assets myself like the weapons, bullets and main character but the soundtrack is from a free pack and so are the tiles.

Great concept! At first i didn't realize that space also rewinds bullets, but after i found that out the game was a lot of fun!

I thought that playing a shooter without shooting will be boring, but I was wrong. When there are dozens of bullets and cannons on the air, rewinding and watching everybody die was really fun.

Cool idea, However a good tutorial would have improved the experience! Great game non the less :D Also the "Time controller" UI bar is stuck in the middle of the screen. Overall a great game. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968

The idea that you rewind bullets reminds me of my own game. Though it seems, that the enemys can kill you too fast, and sometimes I wanted to defend myself. Maybe tweak the gameplay a bit more, but solid start! Keep it up

I got a couple of keys. and the mechanic of having BULLETS rewind is pretty good!

I wish there were health potions though.

But overall, SUPER FUN and ADDICTIVE game :D

Yeah i thought about ways to give health to the player but it all just got so overwhelming for me. This was the first jam I've submitted to. Thank you so much for your feedback. : )

A pretty fun game with some great music. Killing an enemy with a giant wave of their own bullets is both satisfying and rewarding.
