Hey, here's my honest opinion:

• 8bit sound was great. I loved it. 
• Jumping was a bit strange, felt more like an upwards teleportation instead of a jump. 
• I don't know if you were able to 'destroy' the cars? I always took damage or dodged them.  (Maybe just me, but I should fix that)
• It was difficult to navigate for me because some of the platforms were 2.5D. You did not jump to the top of the sprite, but somewhere in half so it was a bit of a guess where you would land. 
• Love the setting of a toy robot and the use of toy assets as platforms (Lego bricks, Cloudy wallpaper (maybe from toystory?))

Either way, there is room for improvement, but a good game after all. 

Hey, here is my opinion: 

• I liked the sound of the game. Very calm.
• I liked the little screen effect when you rewinded time. Nice job, 
• I thought the fact that you switch players when rewinding is very clever. It makes you think way more than just replaying because you need to think in advance when you're playing with player 1
• It seemed like the rewind did not register correctly. In level 2, I pushed the block to a certain spot, but when I rewinded it, the block automatically came back to the same spot (lowest platform on the right side). Maybe you could improve that. 
• I got stuck on level 3. I played with the first player, but could not get higher. Maybe a bit of help in the form of a tutorial is in its place here. I tried to jump with player one and then jump on the jumping block with player two, but I could not succeed. 

Small fun platformer, clever mechanic of switching players. Good job

Hey, here are my thoughts: 

• Congrats on making a math game. It is definitely not a popular subject for games. Although it found it more a math quiz instead of a game. I did not find the game aspect..
• Maybe let the player click his mouse to start the game when you only use the mouse afterwards anyway. 
• I was a bit confused why the keyboard changed place when doing the second part of a level. It felt like a new level but it wasn't. Maybe you could just change the color of the first digit to green when entering the right number. 
• Also did not quite know why how the theme was implemented into the game. You need to solve math to be able to get the time rewinder, but maybe you could do something else with it.

Dont get me wrong, I give a lot of qritique, but I read that it was your first game jam so you still have a lot of chances to improve! 

Certainly not bad for your first game jam! 

Hey John, here are my thoughts: 

• I'm not a fan of the orthograpic camera. It made your game way more difficult because there is no perception of depth. 
• I liked the fact that the dash was a consumable. It made you think about where you needed to use them.  When you rewind time however, I would give the dashes back instantly. Now I spent a lot of time going around to recollect them all. 
• The sound goes along nicely with the rest of the assets. 
• There is no in-game explanation of the controls what made me exit the game, check your itch page and then boot it back up.
• A bit confused why you used a cube as a player. Since you roll it around in the game, a ball would fit better in my opinion. 

Gave me a bit of a portal vibe, good job on the game.

Hey, this is what I thought about your game:

• You wrote on your post you made all the assets yourself so props for that.
• I think it had a kind of a meme vibe from the beginning. Made it funny. 
• Don't know what the actual game has to do with the intro cutscene, but the cutscene itself looks nice. 
• The game was a bit weird sice I could not throw any projectiles any more after a certain period of time. 
• I was able to just run through the legs of the boss enemy so maybe make it that that isn't possible. 
• I do not really know how this game fits with the theme because I did not see any rewinding being done. 

Good small game. I read you only started developing games 4 months earlier. Nice to already compete in gamejams. Congratulations on the game and keep up the work :)

Hey lisyarus, here are my thoughts about your game: 

• I loooooved the fact that you could destroy the environment. That made the game for me. It made it easier to navigate, but harder because more enemies come swarming in. 
• As you mentioned, the controls are hard. If this is intended, great job. Otherwise, I would make sure the player does not 'glide' constantly. 
• It is nice you get more bullets when you level up. It creates more devestation which has its pro's and con's. (my first point)
• There also was no audio for me, maybe it was my computer but I could not give any feedback on that. 
• It would be nice to make the player stand out more so you know faster where you are located on the screen. Sometimes, I got confused and thought I was an enemy ;)
• Also, when you export the game. Place everyting in a folder before zipping it. That way the files are not scattered all over the place when unzipping it :)

Nice chaotic game, I am a fan of those. It felt like a fast paced game of 'Asteroids'. Good submission

Here is my opinion:

• I could relate to the childhood game because I played it when I was little so I liked that.
• Other than thinking about the past, the games does not fit well in the theme. 
• I like the Sims-styled music. 
• The game was a bit difficult due to the fact that some of the sticks randomly moved when picking up. That made it a bit tedious at times. 
• I remember this being a game for 2 players so maybe you could make it a local multiplayer game where the player gets switched after every stick that gets picked up. 

Very small game, but relatively good execution. Well done. 

Hey AceSheperd, here is my opinion: 

• The title of the game made me laugh out loud so good job!
• The pixelart and sound is astonishing! Best I've seen yet.
• The mechanic is fun, but I think their could be done more with it.  
• The keybindings to change appearance are strange, I would prefer keys you could reach with your other hand since you're not using it now. 
• I think it's a bug, but not sure. I ran past the caretakers as an adult but also lost the game. Did not seem right for me.  If it was a bug indeed. Then there would be no need to change to gramps because he is slower than the adult version. (Maybe I'm wrong with my bug assumption)
• It is possible to fall out of the map (right side during second section )

Simple platformer, art is really nice and so is the sound. I think the mechanics and gameplay could use a bit more work. What you delivered now however is already a fun little game. Nice work!

Hey Team Deamon, here are my thoughts on The Ragefull Ball:

• I liked the mechanic of taking the same path twice. It makes you want to do it simple, but you need to succeed as well. 
• Although I liked it, I could not fully enjoy it because it was so damn difficult. It was really hard for me to complete a level. 
• I liked the small intro about the parents. Although I hoped there will be some references of that story in the game (background or so)
• I did not quite get the importance of stopping (white circle). 
• The UI of the menu could be a lot bigger since you have a full screen application :)

A bit difficult for me, but the mechanic definitely has some potential. Maybe try to make it a bit easier. (Or I'm just trash, also possible ;) ) 

Nice game!

Hi Lotyss, here is my feedback: 

• I'm really impressed. Gameplay/mechanic wise is this one of the best if not the best game i've played from the gamejam submissions!! I was a bit confused how it worked, but eventually got the hang of it and it was really fun to play. 
• In the menu, there are options to disable sound & music but they do not work
• The gravity on the character is a bit too high for me, but it's not super hard.
• Maybe you can start each level by showing where the enemies are so you can start plotting out a route before trying the level multiple times

I really enjoyed this game. Best out of this thread so far. Keep up the work. If this is your first jam, I'm very impressed. I'll give you a follow and you deserve waaaay more ratings on your game after mine!

Incredible job!

My thoughts are listed belowI:

• I don't seem to get the point of pressing 'R'. I would not want to get back in time and will only go back in time when I mess up. 
• I both liked and disliked the fact that you had to 'map out' the levels. 
  • It wasn't like any other platformer where you just need to jump on the platforms. (+)
  • It can get very repetitive when you need to pass a section that is a bit more difficult. (-)
• The animation of the character was very derpy. I loved it.
• The text at the beginning dissapeared too soon. I could not read it entirely.

Funny platformer, a bit tedious at times, but not nerveracking. Enjoyed playing it!

These are my thoughts:

• When you die before the AI, I'd prefer the game just resets. 
• Make the player more distinct from the enemies. The red square in the center is a good start, but it can be even more different and thus easier to locate.
• The parkour was difficult for me to navigate through, caused by the little spaces and openings. On the first life, I took my time and got everywhere, but when I needed to chase the afterlives, I mostly fell to my own death and needed to wait on the AI. 
• Definitely has some potential, but maybe make it a local multiplayer game where you need to kill the afterlives of the opponent first. Then when you die, you have more targets to come back and kill the other one. 

The game has potential. Keep up the work!

Here are my thoughts: 

• Nice mechanics indeed. Being able to teleport to your pen is a bit strange, but inventive so no worries. 
• The SFX was really loud and a bit annoying for me. I would tone that down a bit. 
• I don't know what the 'Casette Kingdom' has to do with the dungeon.. 
• Reminded me of zelda, I'm a fan of Zelda. Nice work
• Besides the'rewinding' of the guardians. There was not much that fitted into the 'rewind' theme. 
• I'm a fan of the pixelart. Great job on that!

Weird little setting of a game, but good execution. Did not encounter any bugs or game mistakes. Keep up the work!

Here is my opinion: 

• Loved the pixel art. Simple, but neat.
• I think sound was a bit lacking. A nice background song would improve it a lot for me. 
• The fact that you can only jump with the small robot was a plus for me. It made the levels a bit more linear because you only could you in a certain way, but at level 8 it became challenging and that made it cool. 
• I don't think the theme fits very well in this game because you don't do anything with the rewind. You just replay the level with the path you played before. 
• Nice that there is a countdown timer so you need to rush it.

Nice platformer, well done.

Hey! I played it and here are my thoughts:

• I've played a couple of bullet hell games from this jam and this is the best one yet, so props for that. I like the pace and the chaos. It makes a bullet hell like hell. I tried 'Impossible' mode but who thought that it was impossible? I didn't :p 
• The graphics are a bit lacking for me.  They are very simple, but they do not take away the good gameplay so not a big point of critique. 
• Maybe you should spawn in combos when reaching a higher multiplier. Now it is just for points I think? When you add some powerups, it will make the game so much more dynamic. 
• There should be a small indication of where the enemies are going to spawn. Right now I ran into a lot of them just by running around. 

Nice bullet hell game, I liked it. Hope you like my review. 

I played your game! This is what I thought:

• Maybe you could save the mouse sensitivity settings so it doesn't reset every time you die. 
• Don't know if there was a certain goal. I just kept bombing enemies, but I did not see a score being added.
• I liked the game overall. Shooting, dodging and weaving is what I like to do in games.
• The 'rewind' theme did not fit well into the game in my opinion. 

Besides the fact that it did not fit into the theme for me, I still enjoyed playing it. The spark is already there, but it needs some more work to develop in a big BOMB. 

Great work!

Very challenging indeed! Here are my thoughts: 

• Don't know why you would want to bring the enemies to life as they onli want to kill you. 
• When you run out of 'normal' time, it takes way to long for the clock to rewind while in rewind time. 
• I liked the pixelart. 
• I saw in your trailer that there was some 8-bit sound, but I didn't have it while playing (maybe an error on my behalf)
• It was not super clear for me what and when I could interact with stuff. Maybe get an outline on the object if it is possible to interact with. (I saw the subtle color difference, but it can be more eye-catching)

Nice little dungeon explorer game. Needs a smill bit of work to turn it into a very nice game! Good start! Keep it up!

Hey AgentXMan, here are my thoughts:

• I really liked the voice intro you recorded. Was funny, clear and imformative. Good job
• The 'I'm Glad You Came (piano cover)' was a bit too loud
• I'd prefer if the boxes spawned in right in front of you. Now they spawned far away for me and alway fell straight into the void. 
• If you call it a sandbox game, I should implement a bit more content so the player had more stuff to do (do something with the environment, multiple boxes, different explosions, ...)
• The game was a bit blurry for me (could be the web version of the game)

Very small game. Add some more stuff if you would like to continue this sandbox game. Good start!

Hey Askman, here are my thoughts: 

• Do not completely pause the entire game when a dialogue has finished. Show the player the button he has to press to continue or at least let the music continue playing. I restarted twice because I thought my game crashed ;) 
• You write on your post that there is a surprise for those who persevere. I completed the game but it said 'Is that it?' And I died.. If this is the real ending, don't make false promises on your itch page because I was dissapointed when I saw the text bubble. 
• I liked the trail you leave behind. Good to remember how you were rewinding. 
• When you rewinded the level, you should fast forward to the next so the player does not have to walk the same distance again. 
• Add some checkpoints between each level so you can start from there and not all the way from the beginning. 
• Nice music choice. I liked the style of it. 

Reminded me a bit of 'Frogger' but then with a twist, fitted in the theme. Nice job.

Hey Swix,

• I loved the music. Fits with the theme and environment. Only a bit too loud. 
• You should add a score system so there is a reason to play the levels endlessly.
• The floating red-eye robots were very hard to kill. The others were doable, but I spent most of the time missing my shots at the red-eyed ones.
• I did not figure out how to rewind time. Only how to slow it down.

Fun little 'Super Hot'-like shooter game. Had fun while playing. 

Hey, here are my thoughts: 

• I would increase the energy meter a bit so you could dash, jump and shoot at least once all together. 
• I loved the music, atmosphere and theme so good job.
• The music faded when in the pause menu. Small detail but improves the game. 
• I was a bit confused at first about what to do, but got the hang of it in the end. 
• The projectile's path was a bit weird, you shoot in an arc instead of in front of you. 
• I feel like the player is a bit too small to step on the defuse button. You always had to jump right in front of it to reach it. Takes away the pace of the game a bit. 

I would increase the pace of this game. Give more energy, quicker obstruction spawns and so on. Make it a chaotic endless parkour game. 
Good job on the game so far. 

Hey Apost7, here is what I think (I did not get really far so I don't have very much to talk about):

• The decision of rewinding time while you jump is brave, but made it very difficult for me.  When you play a platformer, you sort of plan out where a moving platform is going so you know when to jump. When you rewind it, it makes it very difficult. I tried it several times, but I think it rewinds faster than the normal speed, which made it very hard to plan out your jumps. 
• Funny little character. Simple, but nice. 
• Same with the sound. Simple, but does the trick.

A very small game. I could only reach 2 coins because of the difficulty so I would try to make it a bit more simple. Maybe add some checkpoints that if you fail, you don't have to do all the other difficult jumps as well. Have fun on vacation!

Nice old scool 2D-shooter. Here is what I thought:

• Music and SFX was too loud, especially when all the SFX came together
• You should add an arrow when an enemy is outside of the screen so you know where to go. 
• Maybe add an indicator how many enemies are left in this level. 
• Loved the pixelart grandpa, don't think it fits with the dungeon background though. 
• Don't know how this fits in the rewind theme.

How you could expand: 

1. Add different enemies
   1. Beefy one that takes more hits, moves slowly
   2. Fast one that dies quickly
2. Add more guns So you can swap between them. 
3. Add environment items (things that can explode and hit everything in range)

Good job, hope you like the feedback

Here are my thoughts on CoRewind: 

• Liked the mechanic that you could rewind to where you chose it to be. Although it wouldn't make any sense to do this in the endless runner level (in the desert)
• I would not put the bullets as a child of the player. Now it follows the rotation of the player after being shot. That is not logical. 
• I liked the Emission & post pro, but think it was a bit too much. You should keep a form of relief or texture so it is not just a big plane of an emissive color. 
• The second level was very hard. The skill gap between the tutorial level and the forward runner is a bit too high I think. The enemies lock onto you and you can only shoot forward and not stop running. 

Good start. Sit together with your team, discuss how you could improve and it will become a good game. 

I hope the feedback is usefull.

Hey gladgib, here is my opinion about your game:

• Very nice mechanic where you can spawn clones that can turn against you so you need to pay attention. The mechanic still is a bit barebones, but I really think it has potential. 
• I liked that there were multiple enemies. 
• Nice little tutorial so you directly know everything you need to know. 
• Game was a bit too easy I think. I could keep going for hours if I had the time. 
• Pace of the game was good, but a bit more chaos could be added (more mines, maybe a clone that spawns, targets you and only dies when you shoot it)

Nice mechanics. I liked it. Good work

Hey, here are my thoughts: 

• Loved the simple music. Soothing and fitted with the rest of the assets. 
• Nice job on the simple tutorial levels in between. Explained the game very well.
• The exit button on the menu did not work for me. I used Alt + F4.
• Nice concept that you could choose how many steps your clone sets back and also were you place him. 
• Nice puzzles although some were able to pass without using yellow crates that were placed in the level. 

Nice little game. Reminded me of a simpler version of 'Baba is You'. Good jam submission!

Here are my thoughts: 

• Nice concept of using 3 different charaters with each havind a special 'ability'. 
• While you're the egg. You get stuck pretty easily, but I saw your page so you're aware of that. 
• Nice pixelart and play on 'The chicken and the egg'. 
• Would like to switch back to bigger forms. Could only return to the egg and then there were question marks. If it was possible I did not figure out how to do it. 
• It seemed that the sprint did not add much of a difference to the speed while playing. 
• Fun level design. 

Great work for a first jam. Keep up the work. 

My thoughts: 

• Nice memory game, not a popular subject, but you made it fun. 
• I would make the time skippable if you're finished moving the objects. 
• I would like to see what furnitur I placed right and what not in the end. 
• Fun party music that goes along with the game. 
• Window size of the game seems a bit off for me. 
• Does not fit into the theme in my opinion. 

Good job on your second game ever created. Funny mechanic.

Hey:

• I could not move in your game. I restarted it several times, but I think there is a game-breaking bug.
• Sound and art is nice.
• I like the dance animation. 
• Sprites are also dope.

I can't give you much more than that since I could not move in your game. Is it just me?

Hey BlackDragonBE, not a big fan of horror games but I gave it a spin:

• The SFX was really good. 
• The mouse sensitivity was too strong. 
• Game was a bit too dark for me. (maybe because I don't like horrorgames)
• I did not quite get why rewinding time gives you other possibilities. Like the medicine cupboard for example. 
• I loved the ending part where you can't see anything around you besides mean comments and someone comes at you but you can't escape. 

Nice little horrorgame. Good job. 

Here is my honest opinion: 

• The file size is massive. I would recommend you do some optimizing before exporting. 
• Don't change the size of the text as it comes by. It made me restart reading multiple times because the letters jumped all over the screen.
• Nice voice recording.
• There was no music inside the night club. 
• Nice screen transitions. 
• Animations on the robots are also nice. 

It felt more like a visual novel than a detective game for me. You just experience what happened, but you can't really investigate yourself. I could image that would be very hard to create in 7 days. 

I hope you like the feedback!

Here are my thoughts/remarks: 

• Liked rolling of the character. Maybe unintented, but good. 
• Enemies shoot trough the floor. 
• There was no sound.
• Mechanic is not very unique. Not bad, but not good for this forum thread. 

Still good to make in that short amount of time. Nicely done.

My thoughts: 

• The skateboarder moved to fast, flew out of the screen. 
• I could not stop rewinding time after I pressed the button. 
• Weird artstyle, but funny. 

Unfortunately, I can't give more feedback because the game was a bit too unplayable for me. 

I hope you can still do something with my feedback. 

Hey ksen0n, here are my thoughts: 

• Sound was very nice, very chill.
• I think I found a method to play that made your game insanely easy. I just rewinded at the start of the game which made the first orb not progress, but the following orbs came in. That made it that all orbs were in one place for each level. Maybe fix this bug ;) 
• I like the idea. Can be very difficult to keep track of multiple targets at the same time. 
• The 'next level' button on level 6 did not work for me. 

Simple concept, but good execution. Nice job. 

I already played and rated yours so I can't anymore ;)

Hey Asim, here are my thoughts: 

• I really liked this game. Very refreshing amongst the hundreds of puzzle/platformer games. 
• The style is executed very well. Art and sound go together nicely. 
• I would add a minimap of some sort so the player could navigate through the dungeon instead of running around like a headless chicken. 
• The music and SFX was defaulted to 0. I would just make the default the half of the slider. I thought at first it had no music and only heard it after reading comments and booting it back up again. 
• I would go for an ammunition counter instead of a fill-up bar. 

Nice little game. Although the rewind did not seem usefull for me, it still is a nice retro 2.5D shooter. Good job.
