How does the game fit the theme?
The game immediately goes wrong when the developer realizes that he accidentally started from the last level. The hidden narrative also revolves around the idea of trial and error in the clever cover of a love story.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Great job love the background story.
volume slider is a little broken owie, super cool concept though
Thank you so much🙏
Narration is great, but can overlap if you're too quick between sections. Checkpoints are also definitely needed, I have "Is this thing working? Hello?" burned into my ears! Great idea!
Thank you so much🙏
You're absolutely right! I get this feedback a lot haha
I got stuck at the last level :). Maybe you could have kept a checkpoint but it's your first game so congratulations. Good voiceover as well
Please play and rate my game as well, thanks!
You're so right, will definitely work on that when continuing the game!
I'll be sure to play yours as well!!!
For the first game very good! But I got stuck at the mushrooms. <3
A lot of people did haha, thank you so much for your comment and for playing🙏
I liked the game, you have voice acting! Though I'll be honest I got super stuck at the mushrooms.
Haha! Many people did...
Thank you so much for your comment and for playing!!
loved the idea, unfortunately I also got stuck at at the mushrooms, wish this part was more clear
Absolutely agreed! Thank you so much!!
Nice concept! Never thought to build a game backwards. Voice acting was super cool; I'd suggest disabling player controls while it's running though and then only play it the once. Great job though!
Completely agree, as this is my first game there are of course some things that should be changed and improved and I hope to continue working on it! Thank you so much for your feedback!!
awesome idea but i just have one concern, the voice actor kinda turns me on and its really distracting.
OK, I really loved hearing your voice as the narrator. This made it feel very personal! I got stuck at the mushrooms but I tried a lot of times to figure out how to get past them so good job keeping me engaged! This definitely fits the theme as well. Keep making games! <3
Thank you so so much for your amazing comment!! Many people found the mushroom part challenging and unclear, I think maybe more explanation was needed (which would be the case if the game wasn't backwards haha but still needed clarification)
Really appreciate your positive feedback:)
I like the concept. Good use of theme, but the voice over starting over every time you died was bit disruptive. Awesome that you had voice acting! Gave it a getting over it vibe.
Thank you so much!! I completely agree about the voice over, tried to fix it and make it only play once but didn't have the time and skill to do it quite yet haha - hoping to keep working on the game after the jam and fix that issue!
Awesome!
clever concept. the voice acting was a good extra touch haha
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it!
