In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player can rewind to a previous position killing all enemies in its path. The game is paused when this happens.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The only thing not made from scratch was fonts and audio.

Very clean! My only concern is that there's no easy way to learn how to play. I had trouble in my few games because it's only after a while that I figured out I could shoot stuff.
The game looks and sounds good, and even if it's simple, the fun is there, and that's what's important. Well done!

LullabyI got around 22k I believe. Unexpectedly, the basic purple ones ended up being my bane, even later in the game, because there's so many of them that come from all sides, and because they camouflauge themselves pretty well lol. The red ones were the easiest enemies because they didn't feel too threatening, and they weren't rewarding enough to chase. :)
A really well polished game! I liked how you used the concept of rewind in this bullet-hell. Also, i never saw a bullet-hell in a spherical map, this was pretty cool and a game changing! The visuals are really great, and gameplay is pretty solid, simple, and fast! :D
Great job, it has potential to turn into a big game! :)

RequiemThat Super StarDust vibe is big in this one. Wish I could make this :D. Though the rewind option didn't really do a whole lot, the implementation was cool.

In the mirror of TimeGreat game! I tried it with my ps4 controller but when I went on the x-axis it started to go slower and when I shot the ship stopped. Pretty weird but I guess it's more made for windows at this point in time :)

A ninja in timeGreat game, had a lot of fun playing it.
A bit sad that the rewind doesn't seem to do much (though beint a way to save yourself is still nice).
But other than that, really nice game.
Loved the spherical level and the fact that you see the shots following the curve.

Mechanical WondersThis is such a cool game!!
Good
- The neon graphics are great and the music goes very well with the theme of the game (did you guys write the music? It fits very well)
- The gameplay is fun with a variety of enemies! I like how you can see your bullets go around the planet and it's really cool that you've managed to use spherical geometry as it makes the game unique
- It's satisfying to kill enemies because of the particles and sound effects
- The path the player leaves also adds to the cool look of the game.
Could be improved
- I did not realise that I could rewind until my 3rd or 4th round. Maybe the first time someone plays you should point out the bar on the left and get players to try it out. The bar itself was also quite small, it would be good to make it more visible to players and make it really obvious to players when it recharges so they know they can use it again.
- Even after figuring out the rewind, I didn't really use it. To be honest though I only got a high score of 5.12K so I am pretty bad at this and maybe if I had used the rewind I would be better haha. I just rarely had the time to use it before I died.
Also an online leaderboard would be great!
Overall I really liked playing, 5 stars! :D

Second ChanceI had a lot of fun playing your game. It´s that well polished! The music fits, the sounds fit and the artstyle is great. Especially the sound when enemies spawn is very useful. There are two small things that I would change.
- I would make the purple enemies in a different colour since they are sometimes very hard to see.
- I would give them less HP since they don´t give a lot of points which means that it should be the easiest enemy.
Maybe it´s intended but that´s what I think.
Got one Highscore of you :D (I know I´m bad at games like yours :) ).
Pictures are not allowed but:
-Highscore-
3,397 Me
3,343 Thea
I think you would deserve more ratings. Good Job!
I´ve submitted a local multiplayer game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722755. I would be happy to get your feedback on it. (I´ve also posted a reply to Kiwiov´s topic.)

Time Catch!Nice polished game, I had trouble figuring out how to rewind, but got it eventually. cool graphics with simple shapes.

Time WitchHOW DOES YOUR GAME ONLY HAVE 10 RATINGS?
It is so good. It feels polished. I love the Neon theme,
Gives me nostalgic arcade feelings when playing this. Great game!

Ghosts of Futures PastFun arcade, I got highscore of 4k! Some comments:
- Nice implementation of the planet-like movement area
- Nice VFX & tron-like effects, but I think it can get slightly too bright when there are many things on screen
- Nice controls & gameplay for a shooter
- I find the rewind mechanic pretty basic. It does have the ability to help the player get out of a situation where they are surrounded - quite a straightforward mechanic

Phantom-ManGreat arcade game! I love the glowing effects and all the sounds, they give a whole lot of impact to shooting enemies. I think the game works pretty well even without the rewind mechanic, I sometimes forgot to use it. Well done! :)

The Time KeeperGood game, Its really fun, the art style is well done and the difficulty scales nicely.
Enjoyed it a lot :D

Timeless TomNice and fun game. Reminds me of 'Geometry Wars 3'. It would be great to add some power-ups)
Submitted
Unauthorised 401Love your game! You guys really went IN on the post processing effects and it looks awesome. I love the glow effect! Plus it's also quite fun!
Submitted
Back to the BasicsYou have to believe me if I say I wanted to do my game in a spherical world but I cut it off because it was over my head in the time I had. I'm going to play now.
Edited:
It reminds me of SuperStardust, a game I love, with the rewind thing. I would want some power-ups (may be they are, but I haven't seen them😅), or that the rewind makes some other effect. Congrats on submitting!!
