In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player has total control of the bomb's flow of time. With a press of a button, he can toggle a rewind function on it while being careful with the outcome.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code, but most of the assets are from other sources. (Properly credited on the game and the game's page)

Really good game, nice art style, audio and game. It's simple and short but you can definitely have some fun. It would be better to have more content, or more levels, or two bombs. You know, something to change the gameplay as you play. But is already nice!
Really nice work! It's pretty fun despite me being awful at it. At times I felt like the enemies were hard to avoid, especially if I was in a corner. The tutorial text is also too slow in my opinion. Overall, though, it's a great game and may end up being among the best in the jam. I would love to see a review on our game as well if you have the time!
Fun to play!
Love the arcade feel and the cool transitions between levels. Game felt really polished a bit too hard for me but the gameplay felt satisfying to play. One thing to note i sometimes managed to get bomb stuck on corners and found it hard to quickly get it out of those tigh spots. I believe it could be really successful as a mobile game, because the controlls are pretty simple and easy to understrand and the game can be easily expanded upon.
cool game
Super duper fun game.
Great job! An interesting mechanic made of switching between Touching/Dodging the bomb, the whole game feels really great. : D
Check out my Music Puzzle game Get In Sync... And I will play yours too!

The mechanic is very interesting, requires a good amount of skill to get. Nicely done!
Thanks! It does indeed, even though I’m the developer, I’m still learning some skills to play the game. haha
Wow, this is really good, it's super frantic but also really fun. Great job.
Thanks! That’s the pair of mixed feelings that I was looking for
Well, everybody else in the comment section is saying more or less what I am going to tell you but, increadibly polished game and super fun. It could perfectly be a mobile game with some microtransactions/ads and it could be on the front page.
I really wished there would be some original art or music, how the game would shape with that, but besides it, really good job :D
Thanks man! That would be great, of course.. haha Although I feel that it could be a little hard to play the game with touch controls, I’ll have to figure out how to handle that.
Fun retro feel and innovative concept. Quite challenging. Has a lot of potential as a game mechanic for a larger game, perhaps even side scrolling or self-guided level if you add more control to the bomb. Over all, enjoyable and nostalgic.
It basically started as something like that, but because of some time limitations, it ended up being an arcade-style game. Thanks for te feedback, it means a lot!
For sure the most interesting game I have played on this jam
What I have liked:
1) really smooth transitions between levels/scenes - I love that this screen smoothly shrinks instead of just instant transitions - well done
2) look polished - UI, artstyle, effects - everything just look really polished and certain elements fit the rest
3) mechanis is really unique
What I didnt like:
1) wish I could controll the bomb in some other way but I guess it is the part of mechanic :(
Really great game - keep up what you're doing. You have a true talent
Yeah, once you learn to implement transitions, you better use them everywhere. I think that it adds a lot to the user experience, and improves the presentation greatly.
And thanks for the opinion! I was initially playing with the idea of using the mouse to direct the bomb in a certain direction, but after implementing it, I thought that, because of the fast movement of the game, it was kinda hard to keep track of everything at the same time. I may play further with the idea once the review process is done.
Thanks again!
Super cool concept and execution :)
Thanks! It means a lot
Really like the simplicity of the concept. Though the assets aren't original, you put them together in a way that really made everything look polished. For me, the audio was a little loud, but other users might have a different experience. Good job!
Thanks! The concept went through a couple of iterations from a really big idea to something simpler, but with an arcade-y feel, I think
Amazing graphics and music! Really love the pixel art in this game! Really faced pace gameplay and a great take on the theme. Nice Effort!

Thanks man! Both, the pixel artist and the musician, are credited in the game’s page. Be sure to send them some love as well!
Game is absolutely amazing but it is a bit annoying when the screen fills with too many pigs.
Totally agree.. haha Thanks for the comment!
An interesting take on the theme, I think the game could do with some more movement though maybe a dash or a extra jump I don't know, but pretty good.
Now that you mention it, a dash would have been great! Thanks for the feedback!
one of the more polished games. well done.
Thank you!
