I like the art style, especially since you did all the art by yourself! It was a bit confusing figuring out the controls at the beginning, but I liked the game once I got into it.

If you have a chance, please check out my game, The Case of the Deviant Detective. Thanks!

This is very good for your first game! I like the art style, and it is very impressive that you made it all from scratch. I especially liked that there are different options of how to win (Genocide/Pacifist). That is very unique and makes it more interesting.

If you get a chance, please try my game. I hope you like it! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722658

I like the simple retro art style and sound effects. It also has a nice challenge curve, which is really good since the shooting mechanic takes a bit to get used to!

If you have a chance, please check out and rate my game, The Case of the Deviant Detective. I hope you like it!

This game was so awesome! I liked the challenge level and how it was usually fairly easy to figure out what to do, but still you had to decide how to use the limited IP. The part where the guards argue about the cake is hillarious! The only complaint I have is that the sound is very overwhelming with lots of different noises. Other than that, it was a great game!

Thank you!

For your first game this is really good- fancy graphics and stuff can come later. I like how you use simple mechanics in an intuitive way to make a game that's fun and challenging. It is also very nice how it starts out with a super short intro level to orient the player. Great work!

The graphics and music are amazing, especially to be made from scratch! I agree with other people that the first few recipes should be more obvious because after I got it wrong 4 times my thought was that I was playing the game wrong rather than that I should try more combos. But I love the creative interpretation of the jam theme.

If you get a chance, please try out my game. I hope you like it, and since the graphics and sound design of your game are so nice, I'm curious what feedback you have about that for my game. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722658

The audio and visuals were really unique and cool. It was also really nice that there were different difficulty levels. It was a bit confusing at the beginning to figure out what to do, but overall I liked the game a lot!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)

This game is absolutely beautiful! The graphics are so impressive for a game jam! I also liked how you led the player through the controls one by one- it made it very easy to catch on.

I like the story idea and I like that it has simple controls and many different levels, starting with a tutorial. For me the platforming was a bit too challenging, but I'm also not very good at games. I kept being able to jump 90% of the way and then falling down right before reaching the platform, so it would have been helpful for the platforms to be like .5 cm closer together. Overall, though, this looks awesome for a game jam game where you made all the assets from scratch!

I like the game overall. It was very helpful that is has so many levels and they go in order. I would have liked a bit more explanation because I was a bit confused and couldn't figure out how the evil scientists moved, so after the third level I ended up just randomly guessing. Since everything is made from scratch, this is very impressive!

I died from lack of HP. I tried to break the barrels and vases both by bombing them (click) and interacting with them (E) and nothing happened, so I figured they were either broken or just decorative. I'm not sure if anyone else had the same issue. FYI I'm using the itch.io app.

I agree with everyone else. Great look and feel, but I can't figure out what to do. 

I loved the idea so much. The story was really compelling and interesting and made me really want to play the game. However, for me at least, the challenge curve was way too hard (I spent 20 minutes trying to do the second step and then gave up. I kept getting stuck in the green or having green steps show up but not being quite high enough for me to get over the wall.) I love the idea and I think if you added a tutorial level this could be an amazing game!

I really like the idea and the graphical style, and the movement controls are really nice but I keep dying immediately once I enter the second room and can't figure out what to do.

This is an excellent game! It is very polished, addicting, and goes well with the theme. 

This might be the most fun game I've played so far! I love how it uses the rewind mechanic in a simple yet creative way. Also, it was VERY helpful how you introduce each use of the feature slowly so the player can see how to apply it and not get frustrated. For me, this game has the perfect challenge level- great job!

I loved getting to explore the world and feel like a detective talking to all the people and figuring out what happened. The music and sound effects really helped set the scene. Nice work!

These are very impressive graphics to make by yourself. The style looks very nice and I think the challenge level is good.

The art style is very nice and well done and the intro really makes it feel like an arcade game. I like the feature of switching to a new character a lot. If you plan to expand this, I think having a tutorial level where you build the instructions into the game at a really slow pace would be very helpful to less competent players like me :)

I clicked on 'Begin Story' and 'Developer's Note' and it made a clicking noise but nothing happened. Am I missing something?

The graphics and music were very nice. I like the idea and it was very helpful that it had a restart button and hints. However, I still couldn't get past the first level. I'm not sure if I just wasn't able to do it fast enough? (I went to the right side of the vine, back to the left, picked up the rock, dropped it on the flies, and pressed rewind, but I was never able to get back to the right side of the vine.)

This game was amazing! I can't believe you made it in just a week. It looked very polished and the graphics really went along with the story very well.

I liked the graphics style. It was also very helpful that the early levels were simple. That made the experience very enjoyable and not frustrating. Nice game!

I'm trying out your game right now. If you have a minute, please check out mine. I think you'll like it! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722658

I like the creative take on the theme! The reaction time is a bit too fast for me, but I love that there are a variety of obstacles, not just one. It is also helpful that when you die it gives you choices of what to do.
