Hey, this was such a cool game! The music and visuals fitted together extremely well, very psychedelic - I couldn't help but be reminded of Psychonauts (and I absolutely love that game)! I loved the style of animation for the player character (not sure what that technique is called but it's cool!) and wondered whether in a future version the same scribbly sort of movement could be used in the backgrounds to an extent too? The reverse-projectiles mechanic was great to work out, and I can imagine it being used in some interesting ways for puzzles/combat if you guys develop it further. Great stuff :D

Wow the art style of this game is so fantastic!! Really unique and made me happy in a sort of creeped out circus way. :P The music went perfectly too. :)

Well, that was certainly interesting. The art is quite trippy (and fun!) and audio fits the overall atmosphere of the game. I'm not sure if there's only the one level, but I couldn't progress after clearing the first. It's an interesting mechanic that you only rewind what's within the circle, but there should be some kind of limit to how long you can rewind for balance purposes. Currently the enemies also don't deal any damage / I don't see my health anywhere.

Would be interesting to see what the finished game looks like! Good job so far!

This game is so Underrated. This game aesthetic in it's own way,both the art and the music!  it's very unique. Enjoy playing it, definitely keep improving this game in the future! Maybe add more levels and objective  (b▔∀▔)b

I liked the music and the art was very Hanna-Barbera.
