In what way does your game fit the theme?
When player win the level there is a rewind.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yeah, all the artworks are mine, the code is from my teammate

once I got what you had to do, the game was really awesome. At first I thought the arrow keys were optional rather than necessary for mechanics. Keep it up!
Really cool Idea! It's like merging a 2D fight game with a platformer, it's neat and interesting mechanic, though the rewind isn't so important in the game, because it only happens when you finish a level. Anyway it's a cool and nice game!
I like this combo mechanic, but rewind doesn't affect the game gameplay-wise
One of the most original ideas i've seen. The fact that your movement is tied to some fighting-game-like combos it's really cool. Both music and visuals serve well their purpose, but the theme implementation is a bit weak. I think you should explain much better the fact that the "combos" transfer from the previous levels and that you can even "reverse" them: in the second level, I didn't know how to kill Dave, and in the description I didn't find anything helpful, and only looking at the comments in this page i finally understood what I had to do. It may seem obvious to you, but it's not really intuitive. After that, it was really tough but enjoyable: in the end I died 36 times
Thanks for your detailed feedback. I think it was my mistake that I haven’t explained the combo mechanic so well. I thought that if the player was trying many times he would understand that hidden thing but it was not at all. About the theme: Well, the main idea was the combo system but there was the rule so I suggested that trick to fit the rule as well. Originaly it was just a daily challenge I was failed (there are only 8 gifs instead of 3000 💩)
Definitely one of my favourite games submitted to this jam! My only suggestion would be to incorporate the rewind into the gameplay, since atm it's nothing more than a cutscene
Still, amazing game, loved everything about it!
I had a blast playing this game! Only thing I can say is that the theme may not be super present in the gameplay, but apart from that I loved it! Would love to play a full version if you ever do one!
Would appreciate if you could check out my game and leave a rating :)
Enjoyed the mechanics of the game. Nice Job! Enjoyed the theme and color scheme. Keep it up!
I'd love to hear your input on my submission, I'm going to be continuing it after the jam so and criticisms / suggestions / feedback are welcome!
The game is good but i don't really know what to do to progress to the next levels, i went past 1 and 2 but idk what to do next.Good job tough!
*maybe you would also like to try and maybe rate my submission*
Cool idea but was frustrating without checkpoints.
I'm not sure if its just me but I got stuck at the second level, I got past the obstacles but got frustrated at what to do then. Anyway, the game concept is very interesting, but I feel like the graphics could've been improved. Good job!
Do <<<<
Nice Game, cool move thing with the arrow keys. the death was a little unsatyfying, I thing i would have been cool with a particle effect.
great game the art style is really great :)
This was pretty fun. A little floaty at points, it'd probably feel a little better with a shorter heavier jump. But it felt amazing to input combos midway through the air. Overall really neat idea executed well enough.
Well done on the game! i like the way you did the moves!
Nice implementation! But i feel the character should not have floating jump? Maybe also you could add some sound effect after he walk :)
Nope, there will be only music because it’s just a demo. If the game win the jam I’ll make a full version
I love the artistic style and the music. Everything is very cute. Congratulations and good job!
i liked the game
a really new concept
but its hard i didnt actually manage to bypass the second level
Have you tried to do an <<<< action?
The game was super fun. I really enjoyed it
Nice music. I couldnt finish second level though. I got to end and nothing happened.
Did you kill the DAVE?
I tried pressing every button when i reached guy at the end but nothing happened :D
Maybe i did something wrong
You have to kill him without dying by the saw, when you reach Dave you should slash him from right to left with <<<<
You cannot reach the level 2 without killing the DAVE on the level 1. Is there a bug?
Pretty epic the music is a bop
