In what way does your game fit the theme?
because you rewind time to find enemies and wait through time to find them as well but rewinding is faster

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
yes

I liked the music but I would've appreciated a timeline that gives you at least some orientation.

Developer

ok good to know

Submitted

making boundaries from the screen so the player wont go beyond the screen can surely improve this, perhaps?

Developer

i tried when it was important sometimes it was pointless so why would you

Submitted

I like the idea, the art and sounds are good. I dont like  that the player moves too slow.

Developer

sadly it can not go any faster if you play hard core mode you will know why

Submitted

I wouldn't consider it the best game I've played so far but it's far from the worst. Firstly not the biggest fan of the artstlye. I think the player moves a bit too slow. It's a good concept but I think it could have been expanded on better. Music was decent. Could just do with a little polish that's all.

Submitted

The visuals are surely not my style but the overall it's a fun puzzle game, good job!

Developer

thank you yeah i realize that my art style is not favored by all

Submitted

game is alright, but it's kind of slow and boring.  I think the primary reason for this is because you often have to wait for several seconds with nothing else to do.  There also isn't much puzzle solving that you have to do.

Developer (1 edit)

ok part of me thinks this may not be your style of game some people here can't stand the waiting and these style of puzzles might not be your thing plus i never once said this was a puzzle game thanks for the feed back tho

Submitted

Well done!!! I'm personally not a big fan of some sounds but that's just my personal pref ofcorse!

Very well done on the mechanics and this was definitely a great take on the rewind concept!!

Developer

thank you nice to know that you like it so much and yeah some sounds were not the best

Submitted

Interesting concept, I don't really like having to wait for time to pass or rewind, I think the time to wait should be shorter or the player can change time by pressing buttons. The game felt creepy and mysterious, and I think some polishing could make for a great game if you work on this post jam. Good work!

thank you this game definitely takes patience i am guessing the waiting was a little much and people couldn't stand the waiting aspect and wanted it quicker i tried polishing the game but i am not very good at it

Submitted

If you have anyone to help you playtest, use them to your advantage. It's definitely a huge help, because they may catch something or point out a change that could be for the better, although you should still keep your vision in mind.

funny enough i had my friend play test and a few others i did there requests so and my friend did not like the game but it wasn't really his style

Submitted

Hey! clank from discord.

I love the voice acting and cut scenes. The only game I've played so far with these. Really interesting take on the theme too.

Also, I SEE TIME in your screenshot, so good job.

Developer

XD, thank you

Submitted

This game is very interesting.  The music had a creepy feeling and fit the game well, but was too loud in my opinion.  Also the dialogue was hard to hear at times, so I think subtitles should be added.  Other than that, the game is pretty fun!

Developer

there was a low volume setting some stuff was not added to its list anyway glad you like it

Submitted

Ah sorry, I'll play the game again with that option!

Submitted

Art style is not my favourite and its kinda wierd , but overall a nice game!

Developer

ok good to know :)

Submitted

This game is pretty fun! I love playing puzzle games made for game jams, this one is no exception. As others said, the game would benefit from some kind of indicator of the enemies in time

Submitted

Very interesting! And well executed. It would be more fun to play if you could speed up time moving forwards or backwards. 

In any case, it's a very good game. Good job!

Submitted

Very cool concept! I like the idea of moving forward and backward in time to find enemies/avoid obstacles! It reminds me of that one level in Titanfall. This game would greatly benefit from a fast forward button and some sort of indicator where enemies could be in time

Submitted

Cool puzzles and fun wacky sprite art!  This idea is clever, you should keep working on it!  If you do, add a fast forward mechanic too~  Great job submitting to the jam, and I hope you learned a lot of new things!  If you have time, please check out my entry :D

Developer

ok glad you enjoyed it i have reasons why i likely won't add a forward mechanic and that is do to i want speed running for this game if i add that then order of operations is lost so i know waiting is rough but hey it is still a fun game i will try to check out your game too

thank you

Goodjob especially if it's your first jam! 

Developer

it is my 4th i have been around the block a few times anyway thank you rates and feedback much appreciated

Submitted

Interesting idea, the game loop involves a lot of waiting though. It would be nice to be able to fast-forward time as well as rewind. Having a maximum time would also help, since I don't know if something will change if I wait long enough.

Developer (1 edit)

if you wait to 5000 it kills you and do to the theme being rewind i thought that a speeding through time would make it a winding or time theme

Submitted

Good work!

Developer

thank you
