Beat the game in around 15 minutes (i bet that's a WR 😎). It doesn't look or function the best but it's good enough for a rage game and definitely nice for your first game jam game. I expected it to be just a platformer that you beat when you get to the end but i was surprised when i had to beat the game backwards, the rewind effect made it very difficult to get back, i think it was a bit too much. Also PLEASE dont use the text effect you did in the menu, it looks awful.
Liked the art, gameplay and atmosphere a lot, it was a bit too quiet except the thunder every now and then. It's really impressive how large the world is considering you only had a week to make the game. The rewinding part is seen mostly in the theme as it's not a game mechanic. You have some really small and quickly fixable issues in the game such as the player not moving slower diagonally and the lines in sprites, in case you don't know how to fix it, you simply have to add your sprites or tilesheet into a sprite atlas with your preferred import settings and it's fixed.
I was very surprised by the cool art, snappy movement, fun gameplay and clever level design in this game, the only complaint i have is the music being a slight bit annoying.
Here's my review of this game, somewhat divided up according to the rating categories.
The art looks good with the main issue being some inconsistencies such as the levels being pixel art while the player itself is not.
It was fun to play and the level design was interesting with each level being a different challenge.
The game followed the theme well but not in the most innovative way, i can imagine most of the submissions being platformer games with the player having similar abilities.
Included music definitely helped the game quite a bit while the sound effects weren't the greatest.
Overall, the game was exactly what it was described as, a relaxing puzzle platforming game, the gameplay is fun and interesting, making for an overall positive experience.
