In what way does your game fit the theme?
My submission is a rhythm game where you dance to rewind time. I wanted to go in a unique direction, so I took inspiration from the phrase "Be Kind, Rewind," that video stores had (before I was born XD). You play as Death rebelling against Time itself in order stop the endless reaping of souls. In order to defeat Father-Time you must use your most powerful weapon... DANCE!

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes!

I love the music, but now my WASD is broken because I ended up pressing it too hard :/

I absolutely loved this entry! It reminds me of Crypt of the NecroDancer/Cadence of Hyrule which were two of my favorites of all time! Really enjoyed the sense of humor and the sick dance animations :) My only suggestion would be to make the music loop behind the gameplay just a tad bit longer, as it got a little repetitive after a while. Overall though this is one of my favorite games of the jam!

Very cute, and awesome graphics! The game is really polished and fun. Nice work!

Funny concept, I gets to save lost souls with my moves! But I feel like Father Time is cheating, feels like he's not playing with the beat.

Also found a bug when reseting the game, where music plays on top of another.
Good work with your game!

Solid work! Nice! I really like the art style and the gameplay. I think perhaps there is too much at the start, perhaps going easy on player at beginning an then spice things up. But great, really!

I would appreciate feedback on mine also, thanks!

Great game! Nice job!

Really funny game! The art is very cute and it feels great when you avoids attacks just in time, good job!

LOVED the unique art style, very fun and not something I've seen before! It addressed the theme well and I really enjoyed it!

The game is very funny, I like the style of it (and loved the Soul Eater-like Death). 

Sometimes I felt like I had the right timing but the character didn't move (probably I was not XD). Anyway it could be useful a visual feedback about the timing, like the beating heart in  Crypt of the Necrodancer, to make an example.

Good work anyway!

Lotta fun! I love Crypt of the Necrodancer so this game was right up my alley. The only complaint I had was that there was so much going on on the screen that it took me a little bit to find the rhythm.

thx so much! Yeah 😅 it's difficult to keep the screen empty
