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)

super cool game. the king's design is excellent the wit the strategy behind the swings, the fact that you have to pay attention to a lot of stuff and how the bomb hits you when rewinding. all nice touches very clean and fun experience. great work
The game is cool but the best strategy is to just keep the bomb in air by spamming shift and just positioning it to where the enemy is and when they come from other side get it back on floor and do the same for other side.
The graphics are really awesome And the game itself is fun.
Great idea! Nice job.
It's hard to control and aim precisely!
Really cool atmosphere! Great game overall!
Fun game. King hammer can't attack air type creature Lol. Amazing design to fit the theme. Only feedback I got is to add more bombs and a dash for the king!
great idea and music man, had a blast playing it
Wow cool game concept. Great job also with the game design.
Nice gameplay i like the bomb mecanic
Just awesome art and concept. I wished I could hit the bomb is a desired direction, that would be so convenient . Over all impressive work, thumbs up!

It was fun to play it. I think it would be nice if the look of the level would change over time so for example more platforms would be added. :) I like the mechaniques of the game and the character and the idea of going back in time to only change the position of the bomb :)
ı like this game very well but hard for me :D ,Game mechanics very good and ı loved hit the bomb
Really fun arcade style game! The music and gameplay is honestly quite addicting. Please make more stages in the future if you plan on fleshing this game out, I really love it <3
wow what a polished game! really enjoyed the gameplay and the awesome mechanic. good job!
Good start to a solid idea. I think it looks great and the platforming feels good. I would like to see a wider range of enemies and maybe more time on the bomb.
Hi, very fun game, interesting concept, however, you can easily exploit it by just constantly rewinding in short periods. Like, you make the bomb jump and down one time, and then just use this to kill all enemies, only this one motion. There should be a punishment for doing that, and maybe different enemies. Or more bombs with time.
However, as I said, great concept, loved it!
One of my plans was to keep increasing the difficulty of the game according to the player’s score, so I would end up adding more enemies or shortening the bomb’s life span, haven’t thought about adding another bomb, but that could be the kind of chaos I’d be into.. hahaha Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to implement something that felt balanced or good to play. Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you liked the game!
I think there's some elegant design here, however I think the best playstyle is to just constantly rewind in short bursts, so there might need to be an additional mechanic that punishes a work around like that.
I like that a lot of the mechanics are double edged. You need to rewind to give yourself more time, but rewinding temporarily creates a new danger. You need to hit enemies with the bomb, but the only way to do that is to stop rewinding and hit the bomb yourself. Interesting stuff with lots of potential.
You’re right about that “loop hole” on the core game mechanic. Thanks for the feedback, I’ll take it into consideration when I begin working on some fixes for the game once the game jam ends. Hopefully you’ll look forward to that! Thanks for playing. I’m glad you liked the mechanics :)
I’m guessing that you’re talking about the tutorial, right? You’re right, one of the texts decided to be just a couple of characters longer than the others, just enought to end up having a 4th row that isn’t placed in the most optimal place.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing my game! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This game is very unique and polished! I love having to avoid enemies while making sure the bomb doesn't explode. Great game!
Hi, i've played and rated your game. It's pretty fun to play and those graphics are really awesome. Well done!
