In what way does your game fit the theme?
basically portal but if it was centered about rewind

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

I like the idea of your game. It is cool to have the same ability in portal but with rewinding instead of portals. The textures fit very well and I like the narrator voice. There were some issues which Blue Cactus Games described very well. Another thing that I would add is checkpoints which would make your game much more enjoyable. I would also add a sound for the rewind gun so that you get some better feedback if you shot and it´s not that quiet while playing. Something like fan rustle would also work. Overall a nice game which would deserve more ratings. Good Job!

I´ve submitted a local multiplayer game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722755. I would be happy to get your feedback on it. :-D

Edit: Just found a bug: You clip through your body while crouching:

You're on to a great concept! There are a couple of things that could help improve the game:

  • Having to sit through the robot talking without being able to skip the dialog is taking a hit on replay-ability. 
  • It's not entirely clear that you have to hit the the first level "screen" panel with your gun. Either make it raise by itself or add a little tutorial that tells you what to do (even adding subtitles might help). Also, in the second level, the "screen" raise itself which is not consistent ...
  • The physics is not working correctly: when standing on a platform I often fell off while the platform was moving. 
  • In level 2, the reset was not working properly(player is reset but not the platform) and, given the issues of the moving platform, it was very frustrating.

If you fix these issues, you would have a really enjoyable game! I really love the teasing by the robot! Keep on the good work!

PS: I ran into a similar game here: https://vishal-singh.itch.io/project-rewind. You should check it out too!
