Really great game :) Small and simple but polished and finished. It works really well and is fun to play.
In my opinion the rewind takes too long to charge. Maybe the player should always be able to rewind as long as there is juice left.
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, at the beginning the energie gain is bit slow. I will patch this after the jam. I am glad you had fun! :)
Really amazing game, pretty similar to asteroids but with uniqueness
Thank you! :)
Hi, Like the game.. I really like this old fashion games.. also the music works well. .. the rewind effect is good. .. but it is quite long to get it and last few seconds.. maybe to get it more easier could be nice.
Good Job.
My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! At the start it is really a bit slow to get energy. I will think about that. I am glad you had fun playing it! :)
I really like the game, especially because of the smooth but really responsive movement and background effect when you are moving.
Thank you! i am glad you had fun! :)
Things I liked, Overall you made a very good retro arcade game! Really loved the artsyle with it and the controls felt super smooth. The sound track was also a bop and helped to make it even more hype.
Things I didn't like. The rewind, while sometimes useful, I felt required too much forethought to be useful in a pinch. The fact that you couldn't use it after you died made it feel like a slight waste as it is already difficult enough to get fully charged up. I feel giving that to the player would allow to feel that at the very least they didn't waste there rewind by not using it.
Overall though a very fun game and I think you should be very happy with where it is at!

Thank you for your feedback! I agree that it would be more fun for the player when he has the option to rewind after dead. I will implement that after the jam. Great input. Thanks! :)
great game and a good theme implementation well done.
Thank you! :)
Nice top down space shooter with good gameplay.
Thank you! :)
Nice game! The controls are really tight, and the visuals are very nice. Only thing that I noticed is that the rewind more so disturbed the gameplay than helped it, I wish it would do something more than just reverse enemy movement. Other than that, I really enjoyed this
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Great game, Good difficulty curve, though wave progress should be slowed down when tutorial text appears, don't make player fight and read at the same time
Thank you for the feedback! :)
A really nice shooter! Feels like a finished game, which is a rare thing on this jam :D Great job!
I’ve seen a warning in game logs, might be of interest to you (I played on Linux).
Thanks for the feedback! Any issues are welcome to know. I will update the game after the jam with some minor bug fixes. Glad you had fun! :)
This game felt like a classic! The ship controls were tight, and had just the right amount of drift. One minor detail is that the powerups looked a little bit like the larger square enemies, so in the frantic mess of things I had to think twice about grabbing one. I was a little sad that I couldn't rewind time after I died, but that's really a me problem. ;P Nice job on this one!
Thank you for the feedback! Powerups can really look better to not confuse the player. Hmm.. maybe when the energie of the player is full and you die, it automaticly rewinds the time. Great input. Thanks!
I really like the black and white theme with the simplistic artstyle. It just fits together. The movement feels great and it becomes pretty hard at some point.
Great job!
Thanks you! :)
Now that is a real polished game, well done.
Thanks! :)
Real awesome game, love the fact its not made in unity and it has a very nice feel to it. Thanks for making it and polishing it this well!
Thank you! :)
Nice, well polished game.
Thanks! :)
What a cool game, I really liked the graphic style, black and white, I felt myself playing those old games that everyone loves. The sound effects and music went really well, congratulations on your work!
Thank you! :)
What a cool game!, the rewind mechanic was so smooth I loved it, it's a pretty hard game too so I like it!
Thank you! :)
The game is super juicy, really fun to play! love the soundFx and the particles. The only problem, the rewind mechanic is pritty useless...
Thanks for the feedback. The rewind mechanic is key because it give you much more time between the incoming waves. Happy to here you had fun. :)
I wanna give some feedback:
Maybe this is stupid to say, but even though everything is black and white and it would break the colorscheme, it would be great to make the cursor a different color because I lost it a lot of times because so much was on the screen.
I personally didnt like the insta-death too, but thats totally up to how you want your game to be.
Aside from that i loved how good the controls were and it was really fun to destroy the enemys!!
Liked your game a lot and rated it! :)
Thank you for your feedback. Make the cursor in a different color is good idea. A shield power up was on my todo list. Sorry i had not enough time to get it into the game. Happy to here you had fun with my little game. :)
The rewind mechanic in this game is underwhelming due to it lasting for only about 2 seconds and taking a long time to obtain, and you may even be killed for using it if you happen to rewind where the enemies previously were spawned. However, I did appreciate how chaotic the game became at the later waves. Personally, I would add items that spawn randomly around the arena that give the player boosts or extra powers, it would definitely make this game even more enjoyable to play.
Thank you for your feedback. I had no time left to implement more power ups. It was on my todo list. :) I will update the game after the voting phase with more content.
