In what way does your game fit the theme?
The main character has a time-rewinding gun which he uses to save the organisms one a planet where time moves a lot faster.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I did most of the code (except of some plugins like the URP2d) myself and all the assets during the game jam from scratch.

loved the artwork in this game, good job!
The hand drawn look really fit the style of the game, and went great with the music! While using the same few things might get boring after a while, i could see you making this a full game with lots of different animals and settings! maybe certain planets have different objectives like one has you rewinding time like this? overall it was great. I hope you can check out my game.
Looks and sounds nice. Would be good if you could also shoot up, down and maybe diagonally.
Would be nice if you'd check out my game.
Pretty cool and innovative game! The art is pretty cool and the gameplay too. There is just a minor downside when there is an enemy not on your left or right, and you can't hit it so easily. Feel free to check our game submission!
+ Great way to fit the theme
+ Love the idea that shooting is associated to give life instead of death
+ Simple audio and art but enough for the game
- I think the movements are a little slow and it is hard from this perspective to point to the trees
Overall congrats! Great game!!!
I leave you a gameplay of my game if you wanna rate it.
Thank you! Your game looks really awesome :)
I'll rate it a bit later too^^
I really like the fadings between scenes. Great job! Hope you rate my game too.
Nice job! The graphics and audio were nicely done! I like the concept, but the game can be quite repetitive since you just shoot the trees and hit enemies. (Although I didn't get very far, so maybe there's more?)
Also, the timer shows large decimal numbers which can be a bit weird. To fix this, you can do:
timer.text = timer.ToString("0"); (This works with TextMeshPro, but I'm not sure about normal text)
This will only display whole numbers, which can make the UI look a lot cleaner!
I think it would be good if the player could also look and shoot up and down. This way the player isn't too limited on where it should shoot.
Overall, you did a great job! I like how you also implemented an endless mode! I also loved the opening cut scenes!
Thank you this was very helpful for me. I'll try to implement your suggestions when the jam is over. But there are still more elements like three different types of turrets.
When I was coding the game I made it so that the timer would round it's current number, but it seems that there was a little bug that I missed ;)
Nice game, the menus and transactions are the best I have seen in this JAM.
Good Job.
My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks
The transitions of the game feel super fun and polished. Nice work! One thing is that maybe speeding up the walk speed will make the game feel a bit more faster, since it does feel a bit slow. The sound effect are also good and its also impressive that you have level select and an endless mode. Great job :)
cool game i liked the transitions between levels that was really well done and having an endless mode is neat feature my only complain is that movement felt a bit slow and sluggish and aiming on trees that are above or below you is a bit hard but other than that great game overall well done
Thank you. I'll adjust the things you said when the rating time is over. I think of implementing a possibility to look and shoot upwards/down to make things easier.
Good luck i wish you the best
Very neat game! Had a lot of fun and streamed it here:
Thank you, it was really entertaining to watch you stream my game. I learned a lot what I have to improve. And yes, I drew everything in Photoshop during the game jam :)
Great to know that I have been a good help :)
Btw I forgot to mention:
There are 3 different Turret types. The blue one, which rewinds time. The red one, which deals damage, when it hits you and let's other things grow. And a orange one, which does the same as the red one but cannot be turned.
You can also hit enemies and destroy bullets from turrets with your whip.
That is really nice! And pretty crazy too, because obviously, having just one kind of turret isn't fun enough. Another thing which I didn't remember if I mentioned was the fact that it isn't too obvious to distinguish the different types of turrets.
Other than that, pretty nice game!
Cool and fun game! Interesting mechanic and a nice artstyle and characters. I would recommend making it possible to shoot up and down on your own because that would make shooting a lot more responsive. Overall a nice game! Good job!
Everything seems just a tad slow. Speed everything up just a bit and it would be better in my opinion. Great concept! Just a couple number tweaks needed.
Thank you, I'll remember it for my next games and maybe do some changes after the jam ;)
You are welcome! I also know how the number tweaks go. My own game needs it as well. Good luck with the Jam!
Really good art style, it gave the game a different vibe from the others. One "issue" if you want to call it that, is that I could work with the player movement being a liiiitle bit faster, but good job anyways!
I LOVED the art style and the music of your game and thought it matched the theme very well. The beginning was very clear in terms of controls and it was both simple but really fun to play.
Nice play on REWIND by making the trees younger. Was pretty fun.
Please play and rate my game too if you can:

A very fun and adorable game! Perhaps the shooting rate could be a bit faster though. Keep up the good work!
A different but fun game! I liked the idea of making the tree go back in time, much like the Avengers infinity jewel hahaha Congratulations!
nice game!
Really innovative game. You really nailed the art style! The start isn't very clear but overall I enjoyd it.
Thank you. I'll make a better start in the next game jam ;)
