Very cool game! Reminds me of Fractured But Whole's combat system mixed with Necrodancer. Like everyone else is saying, a tutorial would have made this game perfect!

Submitted

I thought this was a very cool project! I haven't seen too many other games like it in this Jam, too! I do think it would benefit from an opening tutorial, but love that you can go pacifist! When developing it further, maybe some additional animations for enemy attacks would be  good too! Well done and I hope you continue to work on this! :)

Great Job! The Graphics were really good and outstanding. Also I was a bit confused at the beginning as I overlooked the key mapping :D

All in all a great game!

Submitted

Nice aesthetics! Lacks some effects though, I think. Some attack visualization for enemies would be nice (I saw only 'Arrow shoot' and others are not visualized). Liked the rewind visual effect. It is simple, but it worked for me

Submitted

Cool game ! Music and graphics were on point. I was a bit confused in the start though. Maybe implement a way to teach the player how to play ? 

Anyway good game. Had a good time playing it ! (Rated)

Looks cool! I think it can be turned into a decent strategy game. I wish the enemies had some more move varieties or maybe had a better targeting system. It was too easy to dodge them.

This is very good for your first game! I like the art style, and it is very impressive that you made it all from scratch. I especially liked that there are different options of how to win (Genocide/Pacifist). That is very unique and makes it more interesting.

If you get a chance, please try my game. I hope you like it! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722658

Very cool game liked the battle mechanics but the rewind is ok

Love the retro style art and turn based gameplay. Felt like i was playing an arcade game!

Submitted

Great presentation and pretty fun game. Didnt really feel rewind theme on this one but it doesnt matter that much.

Submitted

Very good one, nice gameplay and graphics!

Submitted

It's a shame you didn't have time to implement all the skills you wanted to, the game was fantastic even without it, but it would have given the player something more to do other than achieve a highscore.

Submitted

Great graphics and sound. The controls do feel a little clunky, but still a fun game to play.

Thank you :)

Good game overall, well done!

Perhaps you could look into an action queue system to not need to press again, or move all the enemies at once for more faster pace.
