In what way does your game fit the theme?
The character can completely rewind all the game at his command with precision, this includes: sound, objects, enemies(individually or globally) . He can cheat death if he has power left to rewind.
(IMPORTANT: YOU CAN REWIND TIME WHILE YOU'RE DEAD)
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code and assets except audio & font were made by myself using Unity c# + blender.

It looks great! love the music, partial effects and the main character looks nice! I do think the game is way to hard! But that can also be me :P
I love the multiple rewind options and that there is a difference so i can pick what i need! also rewinding death is very cool! I would have loved to play this game more but after dyeing for the 1000th time i got a bit discouraged i’m afraid! Also i would place the character a bit more to the bottom, feels weird that its so far to the middle/top of the screen. And the first enemies look like pickups. The roundness combined with the bloom effect makes them look way to friendly. Maybe using a cube or combination of other simple shapes and colors so it looks less “cute” would do wonders! I did really like shooting at them after getting killed by these pickup items ;) the partial effect, and shooting and movement all was a lot of fun! So very nice game and entree, its a shame it was a bit to hard for me to explore it further! But testing and things can be hard while in a game-jam hurry. Hope you will have time after the jam to make things more easy :)
Thank you for investing your time and giving some feedback.
About the yellow enemies, yes, good point, I should at least change its color or shape to something more aggresive.
I don't know exactly about the character position, right now he has more vision up, if I move him to the bottom, he would practically not see anything from bot. (Perhaps you encountered a bug?)
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty :P, I've tried to make the game somewhat harder to force the use of rewind/resurrection, some friends of mine play it and had no problems, so I was afraid of doing it very easy. In particular where were you stuck? It would help me learn what should I balance if I decide to continue.
Thank you again for your feedback
maybe the placing was a bug, the character was slightly above the middle of the screen. And for me everything was hard :P maybe an introduction with room to escape or fail right in the beginning so i know how things work but it does not immediately kill me? I know i can rewind in game but i also use it so not much left to save my ass ;) i did love the idea of having a limited amount of rewind :)
But there is a chance i am just bad at the game. I never play games anymore on my computer completely hooked on my switch/ps4 it feels a bit weird to be honest using a keyboard (first world problems i guess).
:D it's ok, thank you for taking your time giving your thoughts about the game
Great game! I loved the gameplay, it was a bit tough though. Also I liked the particle effects and the whole feel of the game.
Good job!
Great game! Really love the sound effects, the gameplay is smooth & the rewind effect is awesome :) Great work on this game, really liked the feeling & concept

That's a really fun game! The mechanics are simple yet this is challenging and super entertaining. Keep up the good work!
