Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
An accident in deep space! While researching time anomalies, a research ship is sent on a collision course. The player must repair their ship and escape, or rewind to the moment of impact, forever.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The source code is all custom developed!

The basic tileset, character + walk animation, and some SFX were used as a base. Game stage layout, extra animations, additional art, and more sounds were produced by us as needed.

I like the game , I am able to switch off all the fire... but after I died always when I try to make red the one on the bottom.. I notice that often the rewind doesn't work.. sometimes the press any key remains on the screen. Couple of times the player didn't rewind at all.

I think is a nice game, if you solve the couple of issues it is challenging.. Also I like the music.

Good Job.

My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks

Can someone tell me what i have to do??

Each room of the ship has 1-3 broken components that need to be repaired (glowing red). Once all of the components in a room have been repaired and activated (turned green) one of the consoles on the bridge will light up and can be activated - The first one will cause the fires to start being put out.

Awesome level design.

Great SFX and art.

The respawn took too long.

Submitted

Thanks! Glad to hear it. I would love to adjust the 'rewind' speed but unfortunately have to live with it. Something to keep in mind for the next jam!

Awesome, thanks so much!

The atmosphere, art, and sound effects were all really good, but the UI sometimes stayed overlaying the screen, dying took too long to respawn, and I didn't really get what to do. Good artwork made it an alright game, though.

Thanks for the comments! We spent effort on the atmosphere (lighting), level, and SFX. I agree that increasing the 'rewind' speed or allowing the player to skip the rewind process would be a good change, (as well as UI bug fixes) but timelines!

Awesome, I finished with 1 second and something left, it was thriling!

Submitted

VonwarrDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed. It took some work to get the timing like that so I'm glad it was thrilling :)

Cool game, but respawning is kinda buggy

Submitted

VonwarrDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks! Unfortunately the rewind does occasionally fail... I would have loved more time to look into it but hit the deadline!

I really like the effects and it's nice to see some more space games in the jam, feels like we were both thinking down similar routes when planning for this theme. Top marks :D

I liked the game, pretty hectic and hard.

Thanks for the comment! We tried to tune it so that it was possible but the difference between success and failure was pretty small.

The game is more fun than it seemed at the first glance. The use of the art assets and post-processing is great! Being thrown into a tutorial-level at the start would help a lot.

I've encountered a few bugs with the rewinding.

Submitted

I'm glad you found it fun, when you gave it a chance! A quick tutorial would have been great, time permitting. Sorry to hear about the bugs!
