How does the game fit the theme?
Your hometown suburb is facing destruction by a rampaging huge bug ! 🐛
However there is nothing to worry about : such a menace is quite a trivial task for a hero like you.
Moreover you can rewind time again and again until you are able to solve the issu. Nothing can go wrong with such a power !
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
A couple audio samples and a few textures/decal are from our previous jam entries as Easter eggs.
Some generic helper scripts were imported from our previous works (no pre boiled gameplay ).
Moreover we used the Godot plugin State Charts (by Jan Thomä) ans the Font Comicy (by Khurasan), both under MIT license. Thanks to them !

Great game, only issue is that i've got a bit lost, I think the game should show more clearly where to go, as even finding the guide required effort lol, would be nice to see some signs, or dialogs pointing you in the right direction. Also maybe increase the time limit? but besides that i loved the art and combat
A really great game. I enjoyed it. The concept is great. Love the visual style as well. The game is also well polished. Keep up the great work team!
Honestly a really good game! this game really needs more attention, its really well made and i really love the concept and how you conetcted it to the theme!
really well done i enjoyed it a lot :D
Action, puzzles, great art, and more! This is a great game, and y'all did a great job on it!
I felt a great sense of achievement when I finished it hahah. My only problem is that building B is a bit out of the way, I wouldn't have found it without the dumpster bug. Great game though, I like the content, style, art, puzzle, sense of place, thumbs up!
I can feel the dedication put into this game. I love everything about it—it all comes together so well. I had so much fun!
Wow this is amazing, very cool gameplay and stylish visuals, I really enjoyed it. Very cool and I think there is a future for it.
That was really fun! I was not expecting to keep items through loops. That was very cool to discover. Reminds me a little bit of Minit. Idk how many endings there are, but I shrunk the bug. If there are multiple endings, it would be nice to have a check list of sorts.
Good job!
Jam or not, this a good game and deserves more attention!
This was a fun game! Time loops are really interesting and you have pulled it off nicely. The best thing is that you can destroy characters, and it's funny how you added a character that practically tells you how to win the war, provided you lose the battle. Awesome concept and visuals. Loved playing it.
Great game, I really liked, im used to time loops games so this was very familiar. Got the save the world using 3 items. Its an action game and a puzzle game at the same time, very dynamic. Well use of shortcuts from one loop to another, and a well planned map and puzzles. I just didnt feel the need to go and try another ending/solution, there was a lack of motivation as I was satisfied with the ending and solution i got, like, there was no indicator that another solution would be better.
Great job guys, cheers from Brazil!
Thanks for the feedback !!
Congrats for saving the day! You made the right choice not to try again for another ending since there is none... We were not able to add any additional contentedue to time constraint. I don't think we will add more and instead focus on polishing what we already have.
The entire style and vibe of this game was so cohesive, bravo! The graphics, the sounds, the UI screens. My only real improvement would be easing the player in more slowly to the gameplay, I felt super overwhelmed and confused at first as to what my mission was. But a really great experience once you take it all in and figure out your objectives.
Thanks for playing and for the feedbavk!!
Adding a short introduction and an explanation on what you're supposed to do is absolutely on our todo list for the post-jam version! We were not able to add it in the given jam time.
Dude, loved the art style! The graffiti logo looks epic. Thank goodness for the bug in the dumpster, wouldn't have found the wire cutter without him. I struggled a little finding which wire to cut, though. Great job on the game!
I'm not sure how many times I had to start over, but eventually I *think* I won. (Did it end with the choice of "re-save" and "what the heck?") The design is clever and I like the art style. My only complaint is that all the bugs are the same colors, so it's sometimes hard to tell which is good and which is bad, especially while stumbling around in the dark. I very much appreciated being able to quickly access the items I lost when I died, as it encouraged me to keep trying, since I knew I could shortcut past previous puzzles. Overall, this is pretty solid and enjoyable and would be even better with some minor adjustments.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to finish our game and especially for the detailed feedback !
We do plan on making a post-jam version with specific highlights on enemy (to differentiate them with npcs), a tutorial as well as writing "Victory" when you won ahah
I'd like to try it again when you have it updated. :)
Sure, I'll let you know ! :)
We think we'll upload it first on Newgrounds then move it back on itch as soon as the rating period is finished. As such people won't rate us on the post-jam version instead of the jam one by mistake.
Great job, I really enjoyed the art style of this game! Also the combat was very well made. I kind of wish you could hold more than 1 item, but I suppose it's done to balance the pacing which makes sense.
i love the art style and the beat was nice. it was a little hard to figure out what you had to do but it has a lot of content its impressive. keep it up !
The game is amazing! Had some trouble figuring out what to do but that helper NPC is nice lol
