Loved the absolute implementation of the theme.  The retro graphics, especially the parallax background were perfect!

You guys seen my reaction live. Confused at first due to its unique nature, but really blew me away. Love the fact that you can reverse your playthrough and it looks like a standard game. Incredible idea. Loved it! Great work.

When we first saw it ourselves in reversed video we were like.. it actually works (insert partyface!).
Happy you got to play/see it.
Thanks! and enjoy the rest of the jam!

100% reversed game. Brave. Still, very hard to play / comprehend. Need a time machine for that I guess. =D

Developer(+1)

That time machine would come in handy!

I enjoyed the visuals, the sound, the fast gameplay. Jern artwork is amazing. Great idea , would be great if I could predict the past enemy shots so Its a bit easier 

Developer

Thank you! And very true! Ive tried to play through it after it was done, not easy indeed ;-)

That was a long time of me taking my own ghost ships shots and thinking I was doing it right because I was getting more health. Little did I know you want to dodge your sides bullets and collect the enemy bullets. 

This is a really fun take on this type of a game. Would like to see a quick tutorial or something so I dont spend a bunch of time confused at first.

Would be cool if there was a ghost that you could see so you get a feeling for where the shots are going to be coming from.

Great Work!

Developer

You almost have it correct :-)
Here is a playthrough video, which is running in reverse!

Thanks for playing!

This makes so much more sense. Awesome setup you got here. I 100% saw the shots as coming from the enemy not shots the character made previously in the forwards run, thats a cool take!

Submitted

Oh, Matisse, thanks for this comment. Took me a while to understand that to progress at least behind that head you have to catch the rockets, not avoid them. Total reverse. =D

I love the visual style of this game. Wasn't too sure what the goal was but I enjoyed it

Developer

Thanks!
You were playing a actual 100% reversed game.
