In what way does your game fit the theme?
Time to Recolor fits the theme of REWIND because one of the major mechanics for solving puzzles in the game is to rewind time, allowing them to travel back to prior locations with new color abilities to pass obstacles. Rewinding is required for every section to acquire the right colors in the right areas. The game is formatted so the player consistently has to backtrack to prior locations - essentially rewinding their progression.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I wrote all the code for this project entirely by myself. All the visual elements were designed by me over the past week, as well as the animations and all other effects. The music and sounds for the game came from OpenGameArt.org and are properly credited within the project.

i love it that when rewinding you see your moment back, i would have 0 idea how to program this myself. and then the line of going back and the chancing colors effecting the lines. it looked simple but these details made it look great and a style on its own. But i was not sure why i would need a mouse. would make more scene to have to play with keyboard only instead of using the mouse. And i got stuck after the first key, still no idea where to go! but that can also be me and my horrible skills, think i will try again after reading the comments maybe i was not the only one ;)
This is a very fun game! Loved the particles and the use of colors are clever and intuitive. Great job in this game!
A color-themed metroidvania idea for a game came to me in dreams, and I wrote it down time ago. But you won't believe me 🤣
I liked the game, but I had problems after activating the first switch. I rewinded to get out and change color again, but nothing changed in the level and I couldn't reach the next segment after the walljump (I couldn't walljump to up).
Good work!
This was a fun game. The horizontal platforms gave me some trouble before, but it's easy to get used to them. I really liked the music, it fits very well with the whole aesthetic.
Really cool game! Really like the trails that the player leaves behind when he rewinds. I feel like the horizontal movement of the player is a bit too slow, so maybe speed that up a bit. Otherwise great game!
That's one of the best games I've played in the jam. No words at all for the art, amazing, perfect, colorful, minimalist, simple! Wonderful! Art is 10 out of 10. The rewind mechanic is really interesting because is not the main core of the gameplay but is there to make you solve puzzles, it's really satisfying to see the player returning every move he did! I would say the movement is kind of heavy, too slow, but is part of the game's identity I guess. The idea is really great and well executed, it's really funny to play. I didn't beat it the whole game, stopped after getting the second key, I played indie games the entire day so I'm a little bit tired haha but some other time I may open it again and finish it!
Hey man, really nice job on this game. I guess you could even release it somewhere(maybe steam if you have the money)
Thank you so much, it makes me really happy to hear such high praise on my game. And I appreciate the feedback about the player speed, the movement is definitely the element I want to tweak the most in the future. I really appreciate your review :)
Really a relaxing game you made ;) The rewind looks really nice, but for my taste it is bit fast. (rewinding too far back)
puzzles were great, music was calming and the aestethics was great. Controls were kinda slow and that bothered me until I first had to rewind and that was fast.
Wow it's so cool. Liked the graphics, the animations, the rewind system and the sounds!
Perfect game, Love the Graphics, art design, music and level design. The rewind mechanics are Excellent and works flawlessly
sorry but i can't even run your game T__T
Oh, I'm sorry it didn't run for you, a couple other people have had that issue and I'm not sure why. There is a WebGL port on the game's page if you're interested in trying it, if not that's okay too
Nice game, but I got an error halfway through the game, so I gave up earlier.
The rewind mechanic is well programmed and adds to the puzzle element. I also like the vector neon art style.
I think the controls are clunky and hard to control, as the jump does not have the conserved momentum when you sprint. The walk and run speed is a little too slow for my liking. But other than that, it's a fine game!
Edit: played web version
I appreciate the feedback on the controls, it's definitely something I'd like to improve for future 2D projects of mine as I agree the speed control is a little off. Thanks for playing!
I liked game. Especially rewind mechanic. And i liked puzzels. I added that my coleciton to play later.
I'm really glad you liked it, hopefully you'll have even more fun playing it later!
I had a great time playing this game. The fun puzzles with the great music is a really good combination!
woops sorry, my antivirus flagged it as risk
Most antivirus's do dislike executables in general, my game definitely isn't a virus though. Here's a WebGL port if you'd still like to play and rate my game: https://phantomdonut.itch.io/time-to-recolor-web-port
didn't know there was webgl, thanks for showin
Nice game and idea, like that it's a puzzle game, the game runs smoothly,
you really did a great job!
It's a cool game, had fun playing ot, really cool concept of creating puzzles with the use of colors and rewinding, nice job :). I also made a game too with some friends, so if you want to play it it would be awsome, its short so don't worry :))
The game looked really nice, but I feel like the player movement was too slow even with the sprint. Even then, it was a fairly enjoyable experience. Good job!
I had a lot of fun playing this game. It's nearly impossible to get lost in there and that adds a lot to the game. Good job.
Pretty good!
