Woooaaah!! Super unique and fun game!!! AND HARD TOO!! lol

Nah, seriously, the difficulty is just right. It's very challenging, but not impossible. Each level requires some practice.

Also, the artstyle is simple but awesome!!

It has a lot of potential. Congrats!!!

Good game, but it can easily become a rage game. The graphics are cool and consistent, and the music is good. The collisions, combined with the speed, are really brutal, and the background can be a bit annoying. Maybe, to make it easier, you could remove the collision on the top and bottom walls

Loved the pixel art and  the play on theme. Good job.

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

Really fun game! I like the idea itself, the way music also rewinds, and the mechanic of levels being faster as you get closer to victory. Don't have many improvements to mention, maybe hiding the cursor while playing would be a good idea, but minor stuff. I liked it a lot, good rating! Would appreciate if you checked out my game :)

Your game is unique!!

Really addicting game, and I think there is a steady difficulty increase as well. I like the pixel art, although I don't really like how the character and tiles are different resolutions. The music is also super catchy, and I like that it plays in reverse when you're going backwards, love the attention to detail. Well done!

Submitted

Not really a fan of this kind of games, but I really like that you used the rewind symbol for everything. The only issue that I had was that the background felt a bit too much intrusive and sometimes confused me. Good job!

Submitted

A very solid game, I liked the details like backing up the music and the messages every time you lose. Great job !.

This music is still in my head :D

This was really fun, loved the art style and music. I ended up rage quiting though, was so difficult, as it should be!

Man, I spent a frustrating amount of time on level 9, before I decided to rage quit :D That level is hard! Really simple idea with great execution and maps! I wish the background were a little less distracting, though. 

Overall very well done!

Great use of the jam theme and the controls feel snappy and good.

Nice job! :)

Really neat game with a very satisfying feel to it! One of the more interesting approaches to the "rewind" theme that I've seen.

Submitted

This was a difficult game, I liked how the music also rewinds. The first levels aren't easy but a fair challenge, the next levels increase the difficulty, it took me some time to finish it but I enjoyed it all the way through.

Submitted

I really liked the theme and the gameplay, though I almost pulled my own hair out trying to beat the last level haha.  Also the reversed soundtrack when going backwards was a really cool touch. 

Submitted

Honestly this would probably be a fun mobile time waster otherwise really fun but it got to difficult for me around level 5 lol probably just me not being that good at these types of games
