In what way does your game fit the theme?
if you get hit by the Time Wizard your character will rewind. Also some blocks rewind back when it falls off or gets destroyed.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did not made the sfx and the font used in this game. anything other than that was made by me during the jam.

Thanks for making a dark souls rage platform :p I thought that wizard was my friend, oh so cute and then no @!$@# he's out to get me!! Feedback would be some type of animation or indication he's about to fire a time reverse spell. Also, wish I could jump and move at the same time. I had to jump then move which help to my demise :) Nice job though.
It is a really cool take on the rewind theme. I really liked it.
I would improve it with:
-An indicator of when the wizard is going to shoot you (an animation or something). Also, it should have some kind of sound when it shoots.
-Wizard's projectile was too fast so you almost never can avoid it. I'd give some room to the player so he can dodge.
-Lots of times you get rewinded on a broken platform, id give the player the ability to restore that platforms in some kind of way. Lots of times i got rewinded to my direct death and it felt kinda bad.
-2nd level was SOOOO hard
-Checkpoints in some cases would have been nice.
-Some other people commented this too, sometimes the player doesn't jump and it should, feels kinda odd. And also, make it more... heavy, feels kind of floaty.
Overall, it is a great idea, interesting and fun to play, needs some polish but for a 1 week game it is really good! Congrats!
I'm gonna have nightmares about this witch, haha! Cool mechanic. Very impressive for a first game jam.
Very interesting take on the rewind mechanic, in fact the wizard saved me a few times from falling :D
The jump feels a bit buggy sometimes but it may be the webgl version only, not sure.
It felt super hard initially but once I got the timing right it went better, good work!
oof much oof when i was playing it was too hard for me and made me mad while playing
Really cool way of implementing rewind! probs to you!, however I would suggest making and indicator to when the wizard is going to strike. Also sometimes when i get rewinded i glitch through floor. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
I like the art and the idea, cool game! The player does feel a but floaty though.
Nice one!
I think you should work more on player movement! Currently, it feels very slugish and hard to control.
What you could do is:
-Make gravity stronger,
-Implement coyot time (It allows jumping after falling for a really short time),
-Slow down a player
Very cool idea, it's the first time i see this concept. The game is simple but enjoyable. The only thing is that the jump is a bit too imprecise for my taste, it's floaty and it doesn't always trigger when on the edge of a platform. Also, a suggestion: don't restart the music upon death, let it loop. This way the interruption it's too rough
very cool game! i really enjoyed this game and game levels are very satisfying to play over all good work!
Very fun, can see myself going back to this.
A very fun game! Took me a moment to find the timings on jumps try to rewind at a proper position. Only criticism is that sometimes the character wouldn't jump so I ended up spamming space bar :D
Nice job with the art!
i should really have added a jump allowance when the player left the ground, i thought it would make the game easier so i didnt add it. i guess it was a big mistake that i need to learn from.
The mechanic is great, this is an excellent rage game, really frustrating but deterministic, it has all the characteristics of a good rage game.
- As someone else said, would help a lot with some indicator on when the wizard will attack
- Just do away with the levels and put everything in one giant level like Getting Over It, now that would be interesting
- Need tighter controls and collisions
Fun game! It is not too easy, though, but it is cool:D
Nice game!
Frustrating at first, but then got used to it, had to play second level like 50 times, because I always got hit by Wizard and got rewound to a broken platform.
In case you were making a 'rage-playformer' (which is tottaly fine) then folliwing issues are not important.

Congrats on your first game jam!
Thank you for the good feedback i was gonna add a cayote time in my player jump but wasnt able to reach the deadline. also the warning of the wizard attacking was a big mistake on my part, i was able to implement it in the boss but forgot to put in the wizard. thank you so much for the constructive feedback, ill do better next time.
The game has a great use of the rewind mechanic, but there is stuff to improve to make the game more appealing! For example, it would've been cool if the background was more than a static purple brick wall, and maybe some more post processing too. But other than that, the gameplay was smooth and I didn't even read the tutorial to understand how to play the game! Splendid!
yeah i really wished to design the background more. i kinda learned how to use make the post processing and lightings mid way into the jam so kinda had a hard time polishing things up and designing the other parts of the game.
It has good graphics and mechanics. I would try to get the player up to speed with a bit less sudden effects tough. You sure have potential.
wow very good mechanics, very fun game! Good job
I like the art, music and mechanics. The idea is great and it is very fun.
