In what way does your game fit the theme?
The combat revolves around the player rewinding to trigger different effects

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code is mine (if you don't count unity packages). The art and sound assets are publically available and free.

The single jump height ledges are WAY too exploitable, they're basically kill ledges. Some of the enemies fly in the opposite direction when they get hit so the hitbox might be off? And you can't hit the enemies if you're overlapped with them. Great game otherwise, and I had fun enough to abuse the exploits until I killed every enemy in the last room.

Interesting way of depicting the "Rewind" theme. The enemies are brutal though lol.

Nice job!

Good game, maybe you need to improve the enemies, and create e real reason to use the rewind mechanic.

MY game is about ninjas too...

Really good game! I like the idea and the levels are also good in the way difficulty increases. I only wish enemies had a little less health and maybe didn't attack straight away, as it is almost impossible not to get hit approaching them. 

I really like how the rewind mechanic can deal damage to enemies and the relation it has with the special attack. Maybe needing to use it and not just being able to beat the levels without rewinding at all, would have made the theme more present.

Still, those are small things, it is a really good entry and I had a lot of fun playing it. Well done! Would highly appreciate if you could rate mine as well :)

The movements and the visuals are so nice! Really cool touch in the rewind mechanic (but I didn't use the rewind so much). 

Really great job!

It's quite engaging and very well polished, and it generally works good. I found the enemies quite annoying because of their fast movements during attacks that always confused me, but not in a terrible way. Also I think that you could have made the rewind mechanic more central to the gameplay, because it's actually pretty much playable even without it (at least in the first 3 or 4 levels).
Overall, well done, the work you put in it is visible

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I agree the rewind mechanic is a bit underwhelming in it's current state. I'm happy that you didn't encounter any bugs.

Awesome game :) I enjoyed the fact that the rewind didn't do only one thing, so you can play a bit more strategy.

Thank you!
