Great work on the theme!  One of the more unique takes. Solid art and graphics. Definitely agree with the others that this could be expanded on for some cool results.

Awesome application of the theme, art, and design. But very sad that the game was so small.

If you could take a look at my game, I would love it thanks!

I love the way you worked on the theme! I think it's really interesting and original. Had a bit of trouble with the jumping, but to be honest, that's not entirely on the game, hehe. Congratulations!

The idea of having to switch between different evolutionary stages is cool, I just wish the concept went into a bit more depth, as there is only one place where you have to use the feature. The animations are great and the boss is fun. Good job making this in a week!

Developer

There definitely are a lot of things that could be improved.

We're glad you liked the game anyways :)

Cool concept. I did a similar take on it, just a little more abstract. :D

Great game! I love the graphics and the music! The jump physics aren't my favourite, but they are still good!

If you have the time please check out my game too!

Good concept and art,  but I think a clear tutorial is missing. wasn't clear that there's doble jump, also kinda short but to be done in a week is nice.

Nice concept of the rewind mechanic ;) I liked it a lot, It is a very solid project for a 1-week game jam, good graphics and SFX. Well done to your team!

Cool game, the concept is quite interesting. I could see it being expanded upon to make a great game. I see a lot of potential for the mechanics.

due to the fact that you wait sometimes to become a caveman, i would appreciatte some type of checkpoint so i don't feel like i'm wasting time starting all over again. i would work in the movement and jump of the character. really welldone graphics

I liked the part where I was fighting the game's cover image.

The boss turning into a bullet hell was a bad choice, considering the movement wasn't fit for that kind of gameplay; it's hard dodging bullets by jumping if I can barely control where I'm going to jump. I also had no idea when I actually hit the cover image, because there was no indicator whatsoever, nor a health bar.

Platforming was okay, except the double and triple jump felt more like "air breaks" than actual double and triple jumps.

The rewind mechanic is also massively underused for the game; it's essentially only mandatory once (at the very beginning when introducing it), and even then it's just the caveman. I only found out the third stage was a cyborg because I specifically went out of my way to see what would happen if evolve too far (spoilers: it's nothing!), other than it wasn't used at all. But I do think the mechanic itself it interesting.

But at least the graphics look nice!

Thank you for your input, and yup, you are on-point.
