Ranked from 116 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?
Your missions is to REWIND time by getting to the Black Holes. Your goal is to go back 4 years and close the first Block Hole. If you can do this, the Earth will be saved.
(Also, I used some VHS rewind SFX/Music.)

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Some basic code I used from previous games/tutorials (audio manager/UI etc.) 50% or more brand new code. All sprite art was made during the week. (I didn't have much time in Unity, but was able to make a lot of pixel art at work)

Nice game, I like the idea of how the theme was implemented. I finish all 4 levels the first time.. I think it was too easy.. maybe you should make it more difficult..

Good job.

Thanks for giving it a try! I try to keep jam game easy so people can get to the end~ since people move onto other game very easily hehe. I think I should have put a boss on each level though~

I loved the art style of the game. Nice work

Thanks for giving it a try :D

Cool game! You should make more incentive to destroy the enemies though than a high score because you can easily pass them on the top or bottom. Maybe if you destroy enemies you can get permanent ship upgrades so you are better equipped to fight next waves. I really like the art style though! Play and rate my game if you have a chance. I love feedback! Btw I rated your GMTK game jam submission a few weeks ago. It's cool to see that you joined this one too.

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Oh nice to see you again too! I think I actually had more time to work on the GMTK than this one haha (crazy busy week) Those are some great ideas~ I'll check out your game soon for sure!!

Terrific 3DSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

I beat the queen and stopped the invasion! The only thing I can say is I do wish the rewind theme was more implemented in the gameplay and not just the "story".

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

You beat it awesome~ thanks for playing until the end! Yeah I knew I didn't have time to try learning some new code, so I just kept it super simple for this jam XD

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for playing :D

Fun game, I really like the anime character design and the sound effects for the shooting. Great work!

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks a bunch :D

jsokolSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice little game, feels really smooth. Love the "PEW PEW PEW" sounds :)
Also the ghost enemy reminds me of ghasts from Minecraft :) Good job!

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks! Oh yeah they are very similar to those :D

BarenceSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Really cool game, how did you make it in a week!

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks!! I had some time at work to do lots of pixel art, and endless side scrolling code is pretty easy to find hehe.

Ishaan BahlSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice polished game, however one thing i noticed was that before the boss, you could almost beat everything by sticking to the top or bottom of the screen, no bullets really seemed to come in that area

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Oh thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing! I gotta add some 'edge defense' enemies hehe XD

Jimmy CSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

I really like the look and sounds in this game, and the boss at the end was a great touch that a lot of people wouldn't have the ambition to attempt during a jam. Nice work.

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks a lot for playing until the end :D

CanadianNickels007Submitted4 years ago(+1)

I like the power up that lets you shoot with 2 blasters, wish I had it for the boss fight lol

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

It is the best one haha, i need to figure out how to do more attack power ups! Thanks for playing until the end :D

KaideuSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Great great! Reminds me of the old capcom shoot em' up games!

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

That's exactly what I was going for :D thanks for playing!

PNuttiSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

I didn't expect the dual phase boss, nice job overall!

Further improvements / clarification: Should there be a timer or something for the power ups, since they seemed to just disappear at some point?

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks for playing up to the boss :D Yeah the boost only lasts for 5 seconds hehe. I couldn't figure out how to make a timer with a health-bar slider XD

Spike StudioSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

The parallax in the background is so nice, and the art is well made. Nice game :)

Thanks! I had the most free time available to do art (at work hehe) thanks for playing!

EmmycronSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

I enjoyed it! Really liked the theme you were going for, it worked well. Boss was really fun too.
One thing i'd like to mention though is that you can cheat the game easily with an autoclicker, other than that, very good!

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks for getting to the boss :D

FanosGamesSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

A simple well made game. The sound and graphics just fit well. I like the queen boss at the end. Other than that a well made game.

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks for checking it out :D

HardDoughnut49Submitted4 years ago(+1)

Game was fun!

There could have been more differentiation between the power-ups, because they sometimes confused me, and maybe a noise to show when you get it.

Final boss was very balanced

Lil' Tapes Way Out

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks! There are sounds but I think I need to adjust them because the bullet sound covers them all haha. Thanks again for playing~

gado gadoSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Love this game, super fun to play! That last message tho, LOL.

Definitely keep improving this game, add more levels and power ups.

Submitted

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks for playing all the way! The ending is corny XD

1AM TRAINSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Awesome concept, i liked everything, from animations to effects, to the sound design. The pixelart came out really sweet. Sadly it was mildly frustrating to always start in Level 1 again, but thats just a minor thing!

IT HIDES IN THE DARK

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thanks for playing!! I think I didn't do the respawn code correctly haha

PicusBSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Great side scrolling shooter :) Well done with the time constraints. Future considerations:

- More content (haha of course!)

- Some kind of upgrade indicators (and more upgrades!)

Great job :) Pilot reminds me of Rick from Macross lol.

NeatGamesDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thanks for playing!! That was my exact inspiration haha~ I tried to have the plane transform too :D (But didn't have time to make it work... had it shooting but not switching correctly)
