Cute game! I really like the rewind mechanic. Only wished the buttons on the menu were more in line with the rest of the game. Maybe with a sprite instead of just a button with text.

Great submission though!

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

Simple yet to the point and the visuals for the rewinding feels good as it makes me feel like I'm going back in time. Nicely done

Submitted

a bit hard tho!!

fun arcade style gameplay that challenges you to think and move fast

great game it was Beyond fun , the style , the music choice  , the theme incorporation Amazing

very clever puzzles

Its a fun game, and love the leaderborads, but the theme feels like it was just thrown in with no real purpose.

Submitted

Nice submission! The gameplay feels quick and the music fits it well! I think the rewind feature is more of a "oops you died, here try again" type of thing, so maybe it would be good to implement the theme a bit more.

Otherwise, great job!

Really fun game to speedrun, and the controls are amazing! The rewind didn't really fit, because you can just undo mistakes, and the point of a speedrun (in my opinion) is to try getting a flawless run. If I just ignored the rewind though, it was a really good game!

The controls are great.
Miss the SFX, some music sounds bug
Congratulations!!

Liked your movement mechanics - could you make the spikes a brighter color?

Bro I wanted that #1 time on the tutorial level so bad but I've no idea how they broke 11 😭

Submitted

I had a lot of fun playing this, it really gives speedrunning games a different twist even though I'm not made for them. xD Really cool, worth checking out, it really feels like breaking spacetime. Super cool

Submitted

this was really fun to play,I liked how sprite changes shape with speed.

Well I will say there's nothing that makes me feel more like a speedrunner than glitching through levels to get the best time haha. Overall this game is really cool and definitely a unique concept! It's super easy to cheat (spamming rewind to end up on the other side of a platform, rewinding and dashing over and over, etc.), but it is a game jam after all. ;) I really enjoyed playing and (as of writing this) I even made it to fourth on one of the levels! Great job!

The idea of using an online leaderboard is very ingenious. It gives you a reason to play multiple times. The animations are also well made and the levels are challenging enough. I think the controls could be improved, since they don't feel precise, the music loop could be made better and some tile variation in the ground and walls would have been nice

Submitted

Game is really fun. Could be something. Simple and challenging. Good job with the level design. I bugged out on the fourth board? with the rewind mechanic but after I ran out of time it restarted. Nice job.

Submitted

I really loved the implementation of the ranking system! cool game overall.

Wasn't expecting to see a speedrunning game in this jam, but it works so well with the theme! I'd enjoy optimizing the best path through each stage. One thing that would improve the game is making level objects easier to see, there were several times were I didn't notice the floor had spikes on them because they were so small and dark colored. This was especially annoying in the final level, the blue spikes used near the end were much easier to see though. Great job all around, one of my favorite games so far!

Yeah we managed to implement lighting however didn't manage to get it working on WebGl, we played with lighting for the last few levels so the ability to not seem them is reasonable. Thanks for checking out our game !

Submitted

This is a very good game! Game theme, audio, game design and of course the game itself is very nicely done! I found it very entartaining :) good job to do that in 1 week!!

Submitted

very nice. Didn't do much in terms of time but still! good effort from me xD
