Ranked from 11 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?
Player has a skill that makes the enemies rewinded by using limes by pressing 'R'. (10 limes required)

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
yes. everything was made while jam just by myself. except a little movement script that i wrote for another game before.

Hmmm...I did not get this one. I move so fast that I can just ran past the enemies and, other than what appears to be me losing health, no matter how much I pressed 'R' I did not see anything that look like the enemies were getting rewinded. I did like that you added a save state because I exited the game to read the instructions again in case I missed something and when I went back in again I continues from the last level I was in. :)

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Firstly, you need to have 10 limes to have enemies rewinded. For this, I am planning to add a tutorial when the jam ends. Secondly, for 'moving so fast' and another feedback about movement I saw, thankfully, now I know that there are problems about player movement. I will change it as it is slower as how you expected as soon as possible. Glad to hear you liked that there is a save state :) Thanks!

A nice game :) Some things were missing though, that would make a great addition to the game:

- Music and sounds (I didn't hear anything. I even had to test my headphones to make sure that they worked).

- It felt like I was moving on ice. It was hard to control, and I often ended up "sliding" into the enemies. For this kind of games, I prefer snappy movement, where the player can 100% feel and control the player.

- And maybe make that the player needs to defeat all the enemies before reaching the finishing line (because now I could just run through the enemies and complete the level)

Additionally, better graphics and animations would also be cool, but I think first it is important to focus on these three things above :)

wow! I didn't really expect to see that much versatile interpretation here. Thanks a lot for your feedback. It really made me understand a lot about the mistakes made in the game.

As for an explanation, I don't really know about music and sounds, also have a lack of knowledge about player movement and using Blender. But no excuse accepted! I will definitelly work on it!

I will focus on these missing things. Thanks!

Just remember to focus on learning one thing at the time. Besides, the more you learn, the easier it'll be to create cool games! Good luck :)

Developer

Thanks. :)

Nice little game! With a bit of polish and some more play testing this could be a really satsifying little hack and slash. I mostly completed the levels by just completely ignoring the enemies and just running to the goal so maybe you could make it so you have to defeat a certain percentage of the enemies before the player can win. Good submission!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback! glad to hear 'hack and slash' in here. it was what I actually wanted.  about the enemies, I'll note it somewhere and add it asap. glad to see you liked it.

I totally suck at your game. That is me, not you! ;-) Great submission. Liked the feel.

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

:) Thanks. Glad to hear you liked. I'll try to play yours asap.

efecck2, did you have a chance to come back and play it? I was hoping to hear your opinion on my game and hopefully get a rating too.

Developer

Just commented!

Nice concept indeed! It would be more clear if the healthbar was green and went over to red, that it is indeed your healthbar! Good job overall :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback! Because the heart is red I thought it would be better if it is red and go over to green :) But now I see. I'll note it somewhere and change it as you said after the jam is over.

Awesome!

Tough and fun! Good work! Controlling the sword with the mouse was a good idea to keep things challenging. As for constructive feedback I think having the enemies animate somehow when you hit them would add a nice bit of juice to the combat :)

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks for your feedback! I'll note everything that said in here in the comment section as a feedback and after jam I'll add them asap.

I couldn't get the rewinding to work at all, and I found that zooming past all the enemies was a much better strategy anyway :/

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! For rewinding, you need 10 limes. And for limes you need to hit enemies. Now I think that I should add a counter or something for counting how many limes you need to rewind. But actually I have already written "*// Requires 10 limes." on the game page. Anyways thank you a lot for your feed back again. I will add a counter asap.
