hey nice game

i like the levels i wish to play more

i think the game is made in 3d and made to look like 2d which while playing the cube rotated in unwanted axis. hope you change that later

i would like to rate my game to a simple puzzle game as yours

Nice game. I think I saw this same mechanic with the static rewind submitted for https://itch.io/jam/my-first-game-jam-summer-2020 but it must be similar but it's still a cool effect. Nice job.

The game is nice! I think a nice touch would be to add a bar to see how much the game will let you record and rewind. Another thing that would be nice is if the music kept playing even after restarting the level rather than resetting. Also, the physics felt a bit weird when rewinding, but it's probably because I wasn't recording correctly.

Great job though!

Short and sweet game. The rewind mechanic feels good and I like how resetting a level doesn't take long and you can jump right back in.

Cool game with some solid level design / sound! The controls were a little slippery, though, which could get frustrating.

Nice implementation. I like the audio too. Hope you add more levels.

Please play and rate my game too if you can:

This was a neat idea and I had fun playing! I liked the visuals and audio during the recording state. The character was a little hard to control because it's acceleration was low. I had fun playing, and I wish there were more levels! :)

If you have time, please check out my game!

played through the whole game, cool game overall, would have liked some more puzzle elements and other solutions to the levels, since all of them can be solved with the same steps.

Fun little platformer game with a great rewinding mechanic!

I also like the simplistic look of the game, as that lets you make more interesting levels.

Great job!
