In what way does your game fit the theme?
The character's main ability (R key) allows the character to go back in time to its last position ten tiles ago.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. I made all of the assets except the music.

Interesting mechanic, although I wasn't really sure what to do besides enter doors and kill ghosts.

I couldn't figure out how to get that key. I agree the controls were a bit weird. Took me a few tries to get used to it. I like the way the character went back in time, stumbling, that was kind of funny.

Hi, I liked the game, the graphics are nice but the controls felt a little weird at first, I'm still falling in the pits. I would recommend not allowing the player to skip the tutorial text though. When you right click you go straight to the next sentence, but it would be better if it finished the sentence faster first. But great game all around, very nice atmosphere as well. I think that this has potential, I would love to see this idea expanded. Ps: looks like we used the same font for our games, haha

i gave it a fair rating from how i experienced it i think this could definitely be improved and be fun but right now i am overwhelmed

Great concept and very nice graphics and audio! The movement was a bit weird for me initially so maybe add a little tutorial or graphic that explains the controls :)

Nice concept and good utilization of the rewind mechanic. Also i like the artstyle a lot and the music is fitting. Only thing i would say is smooth out the movement, took a while to realize i was walking on a grid like in chess and not normally and i got the "laggy" effect while roaming around. Other than that good entry

I think the rewind system is quite greatly worked out ! :) I like the game design and the art too! For me movement is a bit strange , needed quite a few try before I could actually complete lvl1 :D

Game has an interesting concept. I like the idea of rewinding your position to kill the ghosts! The character movement is kinda glitchy and the gameplay isn't very smooth, so it would really nice if you were able to smooth the movement.

If you can, check out my game!
