JEEZ THIS IS COOL. A shmup with a rewind element? YES. Well-implemented and stylish, this game feels so damn good to play, and I'd love to see it fleshed-out to a full game later down the line.

Excellent work. <3 

Super polished and very impressive work!! Great way to implement rewind too -love it!! You did an amazing job!! :D

TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS :)

Very original integration of the theme, i like that you put the "rewind" mechanic as a sort of stand in for a lives system, so if you do well after dying, you can let it charge for a bit and as you progress always have some rewind left to learn and try to pass the moment you died. Spritework is also real good, and i like the chill tune that's there in the background.

Don't know what much else i could say, gameplay seems solid.

Well done, especially for a solo entry :)

What a great game, the time reversal and death mechanics are really good, and creative.

I wish to give you some feedback on what can be improved. But, I don't have any feedback that wasn't  already given.

This is seriously good. The music synchronization and rewinding were absolutely wonderful. Even though the game was difficult, it was still extremely forgiving with the hitboxes and rewind capabilities. 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

I really love the art and audio, it fits well. Gameplay is fun too, but it's a little difficult so I didn't complete the game. I like that dying forces you to replay the same part of the game instead of giving you invincibility for a short time. This way you can't skip any pattern.

I really love this, it feels so nice to play. The polish is out of this world. It can be pretty hard at time though, so a "continue" button could be nice, so you can just see the whole game :P

Much of what I am about to say has already been said by others.

 Really like the art style of this one(as someone say: very CAVE-like)

The time rewind mechanic is pretty good and help with scoring but sometimes i been killed multiple times just because the rewind leave me in very close of a bullet.

As you said the rewind isn't very useful for players who don't care about scoring or strugglle to survive so you probably need to add another benefice when using it.

But it's a awesome game anyway with great potencial.

I wish you luck with the project :)

Love it! the gameplay loop is sooo addictive. The art is great, I do love some old school smup vibe. And the rewind system makes you think of ways to optimise your score, almost like a puzzle game. (it reminds me of Ikaruga for that, and that is my absolute fav game, so you have my heart. Sound is simple but effective, even if I'm not a huge fan of the 8bit sfx (seems a little too easy). The music is awesome too. So yeah, great game, one of my favorites from this jam

Cool stuff, almost CAVE-like in its player and enemy feel. I didn’t realize the scoring potential of manually rewinding until I saw the comments below, and now I’m finding myself using it to save my chain from breaking (and of course score off the last few things I killed again).

instead of a wacky nonsense, this game has a actually polished game play. Besides, its a very promising bullet hell. Certainly among the best ones in this competition and i would love to see it becoming a full game. That said, i would like to make a small but vital observation.

The current way the rewind-death works made me combo-die plenty of times. It's not hard to get caught up in a dense pattern and die, to jump right in with a bullet on your face and die again. Mind you that still a totally fair challenge with the sequence death, just some detail to consider.

> How does your game implement the theme? (If your game doesn't use the theme ignore this field)

Should have been "The player could reverse time for up to 10 seconds".
