-The Phantom creation mechanic fits the Rewind theme, in an unique way :)

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?

Great game, the phantoms doing your rewind actions are an amazing take on the theme. Few ideas though.

-Audio is a bit chaotic

-Health Regen seems to fast

Otherwise everything seems great!

Thanks on your feedbacks! 

  • Yea, I can somewhat agree with the chaotic audio, because there can be so many things appearing on screen, and many of those things can cause SFX. Furthermore, there is a bug where if you go back to main menu, the music duplicates, but I wasn't able to fix it before the deadline. 
  • I can agree with this too, there were several other feedbacks earlier that they are able to play the game forever if they try hard enough :) Definitely can improve on the difficulty

This gmae is awesome, the timeline system reminded me of ekko from league of legends^^ Even tho it is mirrored. Well, Graphics and design are pretty simple but I had a lot of fun due to the mechanics :D

This game is so great!!! One of the I had most fun playing. Continue with the project and add some more types of enemies! Great job!

Developer

Thank you, glad that you had fun playing it! I have several ideas on more enemies that are definitely worth further exploring in the future :)

One of the best game i've rated so far! I love how the corrupted phantom really forces you to strategize instead of just firing blindly, solid artstyle too. Would love to see more enemy types in the future!

Thank you, glad that you liked it! I have several ideas in mind that I can explore in the future :)

I really enjoy playing it. It was fun to learn how to play it and shoot to the ghosts. The idea of leaving path behind player and them creating new phantom from the reverse timeline and the idea that some of them might help you or try to kill you, I really like that and I think it is really creative. I also like that the live is slowly returning to normal so you can play for longer. :) 

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Glad that you've enjoyed playing it!

Fun gameplay! Kinda repetitive after a while, could add power ups or something to make it more engaging. But overall, was good. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for your play & feedback! Yeah, I can agree with your comment, I've had several ideas to make the game progress with more unique & interesting enemies/boss/events, but did not have enough time to implement them - will explore those in the future!

Interesting game! Was a fun gameplay :) The only thing I would comment on is that I found an almost foolproof way to get a score of maybe infinity and that's by going up and down or side by side at the edges of the map. Doing so spawns your ghost counterpart and doubly shooting clears the enemies so fast plus you barely lose any hp. I reached to 3000 before I stopped. Rated! Hope you try out and rate our game as well! 

Developer

Thanks for your play and feedback! That is a good feedback, and i definitely agree with it. I have explored several ideas to make the corrupted phantom mechanic more prominent, such as:

  • Having more unique enemies/events that would try to restrict/force the player's movement so that it is no as straightforward for the player to move up & down at the edge
  • I have also thought of spawning corrupted phantom at opposite side of the map, but this was something i thought need to be really polished to prevent it become a frustrating mechanic

Unfortunately while working on other things, time was up and wasn't able to do much for these, but definitely something to look into in the future :)

I will play your game soon!

Definitely an original mechanic, I enjoyed the game a lot ! I especially like the fact that the mechanic can backfire. The pacing is very good and getting a high score is satisfying. Good job !
