Even if it was only 4 levels, there were some interesting uses of the rewind mechanic. Setting platforms with two different rewinds on levels 2 and 4 was fun and a good introduction to the concept, and adjusting the water on level 3 provided an interesting platforming challenge (although maybe I was just timing my jumps all wrong). I wish there could've been more levels to see how the concepts all would've interacted.

Mixtape matchCute alien. Needs more levels, but I liked the mechanics.
Could you please play and rate my game as well?

ORBI (A Survival Game)Cool idea, although a proper introduction to the whole mechanics and such would really improve the experience :D Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
There could have been some more inventive way to differenciate the rewind mechanics other than simply using a different button for different platforms, but I appreciate the effort, good job!

Be Kind RewindThis game seems really cool! I love the character and his little jump animation! I think if there were more levels and the camera was matched to fit the entire game, this could be a lot better!

I.D. RESTARTIn level 4 the gear didn't rewind. You should take a look at that.
But I like the idea. You could make it into a real fun game.

Wind me upI really hate games that force me to read description in order to know how to play the game.
Maybe next time try implementing a short tutorial level.

Chicken LoopCute little game I love the little alien :) A couple of really small suggestions, for platforms I usually prefer to have my player stick to moving ones than have them slide or bounce on them (Collider parenting is an easy way to handle it), and some feedback for the button pushing (changing the graphics a tiny bit) is good to know I pushed a button :) Other than that it's perfect for what it is, good work! :)

Roll BackI did the pareting for the platforms but the one where i used the physics engine had always a bug that i couldn't solve. As for the buttons I failed to use the seven days of the jam and it was my first time making art so I kinda rushed a few bits.
The alien is not mine and you can find the link for the artist's profile on the game's page :)
Thank you for your feedback!
