In what way does your game fit the theme?
Time traveling explorer has the ability to rewind time (and also move forward in time)
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, literally everything from scratch (except music), blank Unity project at the start, worst decision of my life.
No, seriously, making a good game from absolute scratch within a short time limit (less than 24 hour dev time) is impossible, man.

This was really fun. Apart from polish, the concept and the game work great, I love the idea of going to different time periods to traverse the level. Super Cool!
This was amazing given the circumstances, I had a fun play through, I would love to play a more flushed out version of it.
I enjoyed the game!
Don't beat yourself up so much, you did a good job given your tough circumstances. Cheer up! It's a nice game you did!
I liked the idea of moving along a time line to discover secrets, people to talk to, and pathways that aren't there in other timelines. I think that theme could be further explored to make a really nice story game.
The music was really nice as well.
The time travel mechanic is really cool because it's like you're exploring three maps at once! I like the art style too (especially the art at the start).
Sometimes I did have multiple enemies spawn on top of me if I was standing at their spawn point when I time traveled - maybe a second of invulnerability when you time travel might help to prevent players from instantly getting hit by an enemy. Or maybe enemies don't attack until one second after they spawn, just so players have some time to react.
Nice concept, fits the theme nicely. only one issue, jump is some times unresponsive but than can be looked over for a jam game. Other than that great Job, thumbs up! I Had fun!
Really tried to give this one a go but the controls were a bit too hard or confusing for me to use. Probably because i'm on an Azerty keyboard so i use the arrows.
But i liked the idea of 3 states of time which you can switch between. Also the art & audio felt pleasing. Good job ^^
A really fun game and the time travel feature was really cool! Great job!
The art was really good. I really liked the time travel feature. It's a really cool idea and was well executed. I encountered a glitch where you could shoot while the introduction was playing.
Overall the game was fun and I hope you continue working on it.
The intro art was incredible! The dialog boxes above the npcs are great to give more detail to the surrounding world.
I want to rewind time but doesn't know how to do it
To "rewind time", press "Q".
To "forward time", press "E".
You can see where you are at the timeline at the bottom right. (I know it looks bad, but I drew it in less than 5 mins, lol)
The game's art style and sound design are amazing. They add a really nice cartoony vibe to the game. I would recommend lowering the enemies health a bit tho as having more than 2 enemies spawn next to you makes it almost impossible to get away without being hit at least once.
interesting take. didn't really understand you could do multiple jumps in time (thought it was only past future) but I liked it :D
Pretty good game! Congrats! :)
Pretty nice game! The controls felt a bit weird but I did love the way you used the mouse to aim and fire.
Pretty good, game ! I enjoyed the theme and the gameplay was well-made!
great concept of rewinding! my only constructive feedback is about the enemy behavior, i think it needs a little bit of tweaking. but great overall!
I love the graphics and shooting, and the time travel is cool! Nice game for such a small amount of time!
Cool execution of the idea, although, I would have chosen a more distinct idea. A good game overall considering the amount of time you had :p. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
I like the concept, and still a good enough game despite your lack of time, I think there were a few too many enemies though...
had fun playing. nice submission.
