Perfect game, I don't think there is some flaw at all! Design is on point, really nice. Game design is 10 out of 10 bruh. It's genious. I think you should make a easy mode, just my opinion but the actual difficulty is something pretty solid, is not unfair, it's funny not frustrating and makes you wanna get better. I didn't have time to beat so I don't know if you added those things but it would be cool to see more weapons or power-ups(dashes, shield, rapid fire, piercing shots). The game is so cool, it reminds me of games like hotline miami, you need to be fast and have good aiming. Great job!!!

Hey, check it out my game too if u want

Thank you for this detailed feedback. To keep the game in scope there are just variations in the Levels themselves. Enemy count, Level structure etc. Im really happy you liked it so much. I also rated your game btw :)

Such a nice ambience! The theme was so well executed and the flow of the gameplay is great! Really liked this one. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thank you! I'm really glad you like it :)

Very polished game! Really enjoyable, and the art and audio feel quite good when playing! The only thing I didn't like was the fact that killed enemies still have the collider and it doesn't disappear until the end of the death animation, and because of that, for example, I can't shoot through them to prepare the bullets for the enemies that are coming behind. Don't know if it is a bug or a feature, but except of that, really good game and original approach on the theme, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so very much! I think it's a bug and i'll fix it! Can sadly only fix after the rating period :(

Developer

-SMALL PSA-

I just fixed the bug where you can glitch into the wall but of course didnt upload the fix yet. After the rating phase I will update the game with some of the feedback I thought was reasonable to change!

Thank you everyone for playing, commenting and rating!

Dude, I genuinely enjoyed your game a lot ! The atmosphere is nice, the SFX work well, but my favourite part was the main mechanic ! It's a nice twist on the theme while also perfectly respecting it, I love how satisfying it is to one-shot the monsters by planning ahead and placing bullets, but I also love the fact that it can backfire if you are not careful. It's really a great mechanic that puts the player's ability to make decisions quickly to the test. Epic game bro !!

Developer

Thank you for your detailed review!! We are so happy that you like it :)

The game looks amazing tho, some of the letters was a bit hard to read.  The mechanics are well polished and sfx works very well. I didn't hear any music cuz some music would have been nice, just some ambient sounds in the background would work well too.

Overall very epic game, epic/10

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! There are ambience sounds.. maybe you muted the game? Thanks for the feedback on the font, were working on it ^^

Submitted(+1)

oh then my bad then I guess, i think my volume was too small so i could only hear the sfx but not the ambient sounds

Developer(+1)

No problem ^^ In case its a bug, I will still look into it, thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game! It would be better if the rewind did something more though, I still really like it!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!! You mean as in a visual effect, or another mechanic? ^^

Submitted(+1)

Like mechanically becuase if you hit every shot, then you don't have to use the ability ever

Developer

Ahh I know what you mean. Thats why we built in a rating system. The more shots you use, the worse your rating gets!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! It's fun and the gameplay was well done! Good job

Developer

Thank you so much :3

Enjoyed playing this game so much! The art and atmosphere is amazing ,great concept and mechanic, I killed myself many time with rewinding bullet LOL . Definitely should keep improving this game \(★ω★)/

Developer

Thank you so much!! We love to read when players like you have fun with our game. We definitely work on updates already, but sadly cant update yet!

I really loved this game. The rewind mechanic was made really well and was intuitive. I also liked the graphcis and sound design. Only problem I encountered was once I got stuck on the wall and had to restart. but instead of starting from the level 3 (that's where I was stuck) I had to start from level 2.

But overall really good game

Developer

Ahh thank you! The bug has already been fixed, but I cant upload it sadly, since it would be against the rules obviously :( But it will be fixed when the rating period has ended!!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the art, very nice and overall feeling was like a pro designed game, I just think that maybe it escalated too fast. Like level two there were already three monsters shooting me and cornering me. 

Developer

I see, great feedback, thank you :)

Developer

Ahh okay, could be your monitors resolution, i dont know, but Im happy you liked the main mechanics :)

Submitted(+1)

The game has a very nice concept and its fun to play

good job

Developer(+1)

Thanks man!

Submitted(+2)

I really liked the atmosphere even tho the shooting sound got annoying after a while.

The sprites are also quite decent looking. However I didn't really felt the need to rewind the bullets.

All in all pretty solid.

Developer

Thank you! For players who are a bit more competetive we added a rating system, so less bullets means a better score. But I can see that just shooting itself may be fun enough ^^ Thank you for your feedback!
