In what way does your game fit the theme?
Players rewind time to analyse viking attacks and come up with a strategy to defeat the vikings.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I've made everything (including modeling, texturing, animating, coding, etc) except for the background music and the water shader.

The game looks very nice , loved the models also how you added the theme to your game was rly good , good job ! one thing to notice the projectile of the cannon wasn't that accurate but i can't rly say anything about the game since it was made in 7 days this was brilliant good job !!
Thank you! Glad you liked the game! Yes I fully agree, the cannon needs some tweaks.
Super well executed game for the timeframe! Really cool spin on the rewind theme as well. Very well done!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game!
Nice looking game, good audio :) And pretty well executed. But it was a little buggy.. The units would get stuck, the aim of the cannons was a bit off (but that may have been intentional). Seeing the movement of the units beforehand was a cool twist, but the rewind mechanic wasnt really being used to its full potential. Maybe if you could rewind during gameplay a few times to make alterations in your decisions, it would have been more purposeful. A day or two extra of polish and this game would have been a strong entry :) Anyway, good job!
Thanks for playing! Yes I agree the game is a little buggy still, I started a bit late so had to design all the levels right before submitting :) I'm pretty happy with the result nonetheless but you're right a bit more polish would've been nice!
A very interesting variation on tower defense! The concept is truly great. A few suggestions:
On the overall, great job!
Thank you for playing! Yes I absolutely agree, the ranged defenses probably would benefit from a range indicator & healthbar.
Amazing graphics, amazing sound, amazing design! Nothing bad to say!
Nice! Thanks for playing!
It was fun playing your epic tower defense game! I like the low poly art and the rewind mechanic to see where they come from. If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a great game to this jam and I hope you improved your game making skills. If you have time, please check out my game :D
Thanks for playing! Appreciate it :)
Good tower defense game! I had a lot of fun. The graphics look great too!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
This game is amazing! I love the graphics and the implementation of the theme, a tower defense but you know the enemy's pattern before they attack. I will have to agree with previous comments that the tutorial level is a bit difficult, I would recommend lowering the ships to one. I want to add that I also love the cannon shooting animation, it's very cartoony and funny the way it squishes.
Thank you! Haha yes the cannon animation was inspired by the cannons in Kingdom Rush :)
Well done! First game I tried that I would definitely go back and try again. Wonderful twist on the tower defense concept! 5 starts across the board.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for playing, appreciate it!
Oh man. This game is awesome. I hope you will work on that in the future. Nice job.
Thank you! I probably won't make it into a full game since people pointed out it's too similar to Bad North. Again thanks for the kind words!
Wow, that's really a professional-looking game! Congratulations, you really deserve a top rating :)
Glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks for the kind words!
The first level was a little hard for the tutorial, but after I got the hang of the game, it was awesome! I really liked getting the vikings caught in choke points and having stuff raining down on them. The menu screen was fantastic. My only other complaint is that the archer was weak, so there wasn't much point in using him, but other than that I really enjoyed the game. I put full stars on everything!
Thanks so much! That means a lot. Yes you're right the game is pretty unbalanced and sometimes the cannon and archer will just miss everything haha.
Loved this game, graphics and audio were top notch! My go to strategy ended up being put artillery and soldiers on top of choke points lol. I ended wanting more which means the game is great!
Awesome, thanks for playing!
Beautiful art! And very fun rewind implementation. How many levels are there? I want to play more of this. I got a bug in the 3rd level where the vikings got stuck in their own boat.
Thank you! There's only 3 levels because I started designing them really late into the jam, I will update the game after the jam to fix the 3rd level :)
This was really well done loved it. Graphics where great and was fun to play.
Thanks for playing, really glad you enjoyed the game!
Pretty good. The graphics caught my eye here. Well done!
Thank you!
I loved this! The vikings got stuck on the 3rd level so i couldnt complete it, but honestly really impressive.
Thanks for playing! I only started designing the levels about two hours before the deadline so they definitely have some bugs haha. After the jam is over I will fix that :)
Well then, if you're working on it more, i'll give you some more details. 3 vikings became stuck on the far left ship (looks like they got caught in the collision) and were running but not moving. The cannon wasnt accurate enough to reach them ;)
Awesome, thanks. Haha yes the cannon is pretty inaccurate at longer distances.
Really like the graphics and animations, and the tutorial really helped and really liked that you can change the time speed as it helps when you have to repeat levels.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the game! Haha yes the time speed thing was also handy for testing the game :)
Gonna be real honest here... I gave this game a perfect score. It looks great, fits the theme well. The music fits aswell. The graphics are stunning. This game is well made and with more levels I would pay money for this.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked the game!
The graphics are REALLY nice. I also like how the game has a kind of introduction by making you first watch yourself get defeated. At first I was confused, frantically looking for controls, and then the game goes: "Ok, now fight back." Totally works.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game!
