In what way does your game fit the theme?
I have two features that include REWIND. One is the reversal of enemies of like colors and the second is actually turning time in REWIND for up to 5 seconds to help avoid enemies. (Some enemies are not effected on purpose)
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and assets are my own. I have uploaded 3 Audio files that I did not create myself

Great idea! :D
I liked the idea of the same color cubes that you don't kill the player!
Thanks basaOnly for playing and rating my game!
I prefer to have a tutorial on the controls though I managed to find it in the game page.
The mechanic is nicely done, and it's simple as it is fun enough to occupy some spare time, would love to see some powerups and the likes in the game too.
Thanks for the playtime and rating.
I ran out of time for the in game tut. I also think powerups would be a good touch. Maybe one that makes all the enemies explode or something. Open for suggestions.
Thanks again!
Im quite confused as to what im supposed to do
Sorry to hear that. I didn't have time for the in game tutorial. I put the controls in the download page. Move is left and right arrow keys and REWIND is the up arrow key.
Could you please try again and rate my game? I would appreciate your input.
Thanks!

I like the idea of the game, but one thing i wanted while playing - having to see whats next color gonna be, like a next figure in tetris. But overall good job, enjoyed it :)
Not an uncommon suggestion. Will look into implementing that or something similar. Thank you for playing my game!
Is really fun! I enjoyed playing it! Is great for mobile dont you think? Good work!
I would really appreciate your opinion on mine as well if you have a moment.
Done! Played and Rated!
Thanks for the comments. I also think this will be a great port to mobile and am in the works in making that happen.
Greatly put together and pretty fun for a one time play right now, if it had a little bit more to it i might just go for that 1000 plays achievement :)
LOL! I will work on that for you. Trying to have a more polished game and hopefully put this on multiple platforms, including Mobile.
Thanks again for playing and rating my game!
it would make a decent mobile game , just got to figure out how to make it so your control doesn't obscure the screen. :)
Understood. I already have a preliminary touch on both sides of the screen. But I don't have any idea about the rewind feature. Will play with it and see what works
I really like the game and the idea, there are few mobile games fun like this one! Maybe a few improvements would make much more better, like knowing the next color that you will be and maybe some tweaks at the movement(it's too fast sometimes). Overall, pretty nice game, simple and funny. I loved it!
Really nice work mate!
Thanks for the in depth review meganinga223!
Will take all your suggestions under consideration. When I get a more polished game, will reach back if you don't mind.
Thanks again!
Nice game, it is addictive. The gameplay is a bit monotonic. Maybe add some different obstacles or power ups ? But I still liked it.
Thank you Mohammad! I envisioned exactly doing that on a more polished version. I though if you made it to a certain point you would have a type of power up that could be used to destroy all enemies on the screen or something like that. Never really planned it out yet.
Thanks for taking the time to play and rate my game!
No problem😊 Glad to help
Graphics and music compliment the gameplay well! The sensitivity is a little high so I ended up dying many times. Beside that, a neat straightforward game that can be played for a long time. It is fitting for a mobile game. Great job!
Thanks for playing and rating my game JN Squared!
I will work on making that a setting.
...and the plan is to go mobile for sure.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the playing and rating! ;-)
I didnt move a single time because the enemys would only spawn at the far left and right. Thats why I didnt understood the mechanic in the beginning, But now that I got it, I appreciate the effort you put into everything a lot more :) Nice job!
Lol. That is weird. The enemies are random though, so it is possible that happened.
Glad you liked it and thanks for playing / rating!
Nice concept! Took me a while to get used to the controls, but once I did it was exciting! Keep it up
Thanks Ninfar! I appreciate you taking the time to play and rate my game!
Thats a pretty cool game! The Ui design is amazing (good Job) and the Overall design is great too, so you did a great job in design! The Gameplay made much fun to play and the idea is really great! Keep it up and go for a release it has much potential!
Wow! Thank you for your comments! I plan on fixing a lot based on the comments and polishing this up. When I get a releasable game, I will reach back out for further review if you don't mind.
Thanks again!
A nice & simple game! Absence of any tutorial made the start a bit confusing but the rules are simple enough to figure them out. The rewind is fun but a bit hard to control since you don’t know in advance which cubes will be rewound and which won’t. Maybe differentiate between those somehow? Anyways, great job!
Thanks lisyarus! Thanks for the input! Working on those issues as we speak.
boi this game is high!!!
you've set the bars too high man!!!
aswm!!!
Thank you TyraniusDelten! Thank you for playing and rating my game!
Very nice game! Loved the graphics and especially the particle effects. Nice rewind mechanics as well. As other people have said, more sensitivity on the controls would make it even better.
Thank you for the time and effort in playing and rating my game! Will do on the controls
Hi! Really neat game. I would’ve loved a bit more sensitivity on the controls though! Playing with a gamepad still had me moving around in leaps.
Thanks for playing my game! Will hopefully get a settings for sensitivity on the final product.
Thanks again!
I think this is a great game! The only suggestion I would add is that there should be some sort of indicator of when the orb's color switches. Maybe have the player flash/blink when about to change? I want to keep my eyes on the bottom of the screen, rather than having to watch the bar at the top!
Noted. I thought about switching position of the bar. But maybe like you said, a quick flash. I have always thought of this as more of a mobile game so with the limited real estate on mobile screens, it's current location shouldn't be an issue. I will definitely change something for desktop.
Thanks again for your time and effort in playing and rating my game!
Very good arcade game, I like this genre. Visuals are very cool too.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to play and rate my game!
If you only played, please rate it as well.
Thank you!
Both done ;)
Thanks!
Cool game! Love the particle effect! though i cant find any rewind theme. Good job otherwise :)
Thank you sohwathismelvin for playing and rating my game!
Sorry. I ran out of time and the in game tutorial got scrapped. It is the up arrow.
I am currently looking on completing that now but obviously can't change the current code base that is being rated.
Could you try the game again with this newfound information? I would love to hear your opinion.
PS- The rewind effect is supposed to help ORBI but not be a crutch. So not all enemies are effectd.
Hope to hear from your soon!
