As others have said I wish you could refill even if the youth water isn't empty.
But the game was good.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The goal is to turn old people into babies by "rewinding" their age with the fountain of youth water.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code and used free assets and sounds from sites credited in the description.

Got a little bit shocked just falling into the gameplay hehe, a menu would be nice. The concept is really nice and fits the theme well! More enemy types would be cool too, but the game is fun and has potential.
Nice job!

RobospierreNice little game! I had fun playing it and the idea is so funny!
Different types of old men would have added more variety, and maybe different weapons to attack them too. But appart from that, I liked the artwork and the game itself is well done. Good job, keep it up!
Would really appreciate if you could play and rate my game too :)

ManoloI wish you could refill even if the youth water thingy isnt empty. I also wish the game had a menu.

Back to the harder PastGets repetitive really fast. If you added different 'enemy' types, it wouldn't be so repetitive. Art is nice. Theme implementation is really interesting

Proceeding BackTo be honest, the gameplay is very repetitive and not very fun. The sound effects were annoying, especially in combination with the high-paced music in the background. Mechanics definetely need polish, and at least a simple tutorial would help a lot to make people understand how to play.

LaterI just played your game for about 5 minutes. It was fun at the beginning. And I really like the visual design ( The background was amazingly detailed and beautiful!) The parallax effect was a nice touch as well, but after about 5 minutes (after level3 ) I had no motivation to go on. Expand your game! make more levels and mechanics. You have to feed the player with new content in each level (so we have mor motivation to continue) Overall a nice game!

WindI also love the take on the theme :)
The crosshair is sometimes hard to see because of the guns shoot effect.
Maybe it would be fun if the grandpas get faster the younger they become. (but the are slower at the start than they are now) But otherwise I really enjoyed the game :D

LullabyI love the take on the theme! I think the game would maybe feel a little better if the old people age went down a little faster but they didn't stop running, that could help with the feeling that you're getting overrun. My only complaint is that some sound effects were quite loud, specifically the water. I'd appreciate it if you could check out my game too!

Rhythm Rewind (jam version)Interesting take on the theme! I love the old man sprites and the watergun felt nice to shoot as well! Some sound fx on the oldman becoming younger would have been a nice touch!

Gramps Lost His GlassesReally interesting idea, of changing old people to a baby. Everything was really smooth and it was fun to play. I think you could add the ability to press R at all time or to upgrade to full for the next level :)

StickerlandInteresting theme interpretation! I like the mechanics and the idea! With a bit more polish this game could be really good!
