Ranked from 9 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?
The game's main mechanic consists in fixing a broken time machine. Every time the spaceship gets damaged or shot, the player has to fix it to stop it from rewinding.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Pedro and I programmed everything ourselves, made all the art and graphics, and composed an original soundtrack.

I had loads of fun with this game, and the graphics are really cool! I found that the player could move much faster than the enemies so you could basically outrun them and not have to deal with them. I don't know how you've coded the spawning mechanic, but perhaps it could be cool if the program predicted where the player was going and spawned some pre-emptively, to stop the player being able to cheese the game :-) Good job!

You know, we talked about implementing that feature as it's true you can just outrun the enemies, but ended up just leaving it so you have to kill a minimum of enemies per level. Implementing spawining based on the player movement would've taken a ton of time we didn't have hahahah. Thank you for playing and the feedback! :)

I like the game and graphics, but when you die after you rewind you just keep on dying since the enemies don't rewind. Nice game though!

I agree, enemies not rewinding can get to surround you pretty easily, and we unfortunately didn't take that into account. Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting game. Maybe rewind the enemies too could be better. Very hard at the beginning. Overall nice game. Good work! :)

Cool idea but maybe have the enemies rewind too so that you don't end up surrounded.

Thanks for the feedback :)
