The use of the ninja concept was great! Cool approach in the theme. With more levels, the game would be even better! Hope you continue to work in this and improve the visuals.
Great job!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Ninja has a magical knife. Objects hit by it can go back in time.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did make all the assets and scripts from scratch except some of the sound effects.

Lovley concept! Simple rules but endless possiblities! I can see a lot of complicated puzzels done with this. Maybe a small indicator where I am aiming at the movment would be awesome.
Great submission! Well done!

Operation: REDWINDAs a fellow ninja game maker I must say this is a great game :) I really like the mechanic and it was a lot of fun to play!

A ninja in timeNice one! Wish there was more! I was just getting into it!
Things I particularly liked:
>The concept: Very cool concept to selectively rewind objects; I wish there were a few more levels to try out the mechanics in more creative ways :)
>Fit the theme perfectly :)
>Graphics and sound effects fit nicely with the game :)
Things to improve upon:
>More levels :) Haha, this is a good thing if I'm wanting more :P But yeah, it felt like I'd just gotten through the tutorial when the game ended; left me keen for more ;)
>Aiming: I think it might be easier if you made aiming done with a mouse (or analog stick for controller). I also found a very minor bug (on the second level) where it wasn't letting me aim up-left or down-left; it wasn't necessary for that level, but just FYI.
>Try to make it so levels can always be completed without restarting the level. E.g. in the second level I immediately went and pulled the lever to see what it would do. I then threw the knife at the box and tried rewinding it and it did nothing. So I got confused and tried pulling the lever again to bring the box up again but it didn't move. I then looked at the hint and restarted the level; but I think it would have been better if I could have completed the level without restarting (i.e. if i could have pulled the lever to bring the box back up to where it started then i wouldn't have needed to restart).
>Maybe keep the controls listed in the UI somewhere so i could easily remember that Q = throw, R = rewind, T = super rewind, N = restart level, H = hint etc. only a minor thing, but would help, especially if you end up introducing more actions to it.
Overall I really liked it! Just wish there was more :) again, that's a good thing :)

Shuriken showdownThe idea is very original and really fun to play with. You had a great idea and executed it very well. There are some bugs that, if fixed, would make my experience much better. And the super rewind mechanic needs a few adjustments(I got stuck at the first level with the mechanic), I knew it what to do but I couldn't make it because idk the box not always got the enough momentum.
Anyway, you did a nice game with nice graphics and a really good mechanic, puzzles are well made too but I guess it needs more polish to make a even better game! Nice job.
Hey, check my game too, the rewinding mechanic is very similar!

LAILAYeah, I'd probably agree, if you decide to further work on this game I'd recommend removing the T mechanic. I think this has potential to be a really good puzzle game, but I think for most puzzle games you should try to limit any sort of dexterity required (because people want to solve the puzzle, not have to worry about timing their actions once they know how the puzzle is solved).
I liked the game design as well as the mechanics you used. It's a cool idea that you can rewind objects but I don't really get the rewind with T and im stuck in Level 5 I think becaus eit doesn't work for me as it's described in the hint. I stop pressing T when the box is going up but it's only jumping left. Or maybe I'm just really bad at playing, I don't know :)

Turn Back TimeThanks for playing my game :D
The thing about T rewind is the more speed object has when the button is released the more speed the object will gain. The player has to utilize this speed to get up. However I am finding out that its quite difficult for lot of people because it is at maximum speed when its just about near the ground. That makes it a mechanic requiring sharp reflexes. Honestly I am thinking of removing that mechanic and just keeping rewind mechanic in the post game-jam version.
Again, thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Good Game, I like the idea that you rewind time with your knife! Very original! A simple puzzle game which still makes you think!
I like the sound effects as well.
Well done on completing the JAM!

Ghosts of Futures PastGood execution on the rewind idea. Puzzles were very straight forward, one or two larger levels in the end where the player might need to combine the normal rewind and the super rewind could tie it all together. Great job though!

Last Sun HaikuThis is really clever :) The rewind function is really well implemented, and the super rewind is a pretty cool spin on it too. No bugs either.
The only real downside is that the ninja didn't have a headband that says "ninja" on it. But that's pretty minor.
Well done!

KING of TAPESInteresting mechanic! I got stuck on that one part teaching you momentum. Couldn't get it to work the way I thought it should, but nevertheless, it was a pretty fun and interesting game. Good relaxing audio and graphics. Loved the use of the magical dagger floating around the ninja and how it interacts with the objects. Very unique, rated! Congrats on the jam!

The Interference (DEMO)I really liked the core mechanic. The super rewind (I already forgot it's name haha) felt a bit clunky at first, but you get used to it really quick. However, the game was a little too short. I can understand that, since there's a time limit, but even if there weren't that many levels, they all were amazing. Also, aiming was interesting but there weren't levels where it would be used.
Despite all that, it was really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Great job!

Jerry The Slimewell-designed puzzle game. graphics are pretty good, sounds are meh they are okay. level designs are clever. rewinding is a little bit weird.
good job!
