Thanks for playing! The game is pretty difficult, especially at the end.

Awesome concept lol. I found it a little confusing at first, sometimes I didn't know if I hit something or if what I was doing was right. Well done though

Wow amazed by the concept! I've been playing a lot of other games in the jam but I think yours is very original and fitting! It would have been awesome if you figured out how to reverse the replay in the end scene but I get the gist of what you were going for. Keep it up!

Really nice idea. If Tenet was a videogame basically hahaaha Some constructive feedback -- I would love if the reverse replay was part of the game itself instead of the player having to record it, also some indicators showing the closest enemy that needs to be unkilled

Thanks for your comment! Originally, I wanted to have a reverse relay in the end scene, but I didn't have enough time to figure out how to do it

Seems like a hard feature to code, I feel you xD
