Wow, I can't believe you made all this in one week. The art is super reminiscent of Shovel Knight and old school NES-era games, and you nailed the aesthetic. The controls feel good, and the mechanics are simple but effective. I really like how you subtly made the rewinding more visible via making the background move really fast - that way, it's very clear that time is rewinding when it's in reverse. The only thing I'd like to see here is some ambient music, but whether you ran out of time or decided not to include it intentionally, the silence fits the environment pretty well. Fantastic job!

Yes, I've done the assets and code myself.

Holy shit, this one is good. Art, audio, level design, gameplay, amazing rewind mechanic... The atmosphere of the game is amazing, I was immersed in it. Such a polished game in only one week. Congratulations, I have nothing bad to say about this game, one of my favourites.

Galacticus, the time cheaterVery nice and polished game with a variety of powers and enemies. Sound and enviroment are really in the mood. Really like the art, specially the animation for Sir Ewind.

Panic's UnderworldWow, what a great entry! It feels super polished, amazing that you did this in just 7 days! The mechanics also feel super nice, the only issue I see is the overview. Not seeing all enemies at once felt like making the chain reactions more of a trial and error gameplay than a puzzle. But still very well done, congrats!

It's a wrap! (Jam version)This is the most polished game I got to play for this jam. I always try to give feedback on things that could be improved but I've honestly nothing to say! Amazing work!

Time KeepersAbsolutely incredible! If you don't win this jam I'll be surprised. I love how you randomized the pitch of a lot of the sounds so they didn't sound the same.. The entire game was incredibly polished and complete. I would be honored if someone with your knowledge and skill would look at my game. I could learn a lot from you.

Analog OrangeWow, I'm glad someone noticed the pitch shift. :D I love low poly 3d, so I'm glad I played your game. I think you can acttualy use a similar pitch randomization method when the characters speak. It's an easy way to make sounds sound less repetitive. Outside of that, I would add some screenshake or more particle effects when shooting, but I'm guessing that couldn't be done due to the one week limit. Awesome job and I'm glad you liked my game too!
The art and sound design is phenomenal, probably the best I've seen so far in this jam. The concept behind the game is also very nice, everything is well explained. The only real problem I've got with this game is that it feels very luck dependent, though the time manipulation mechanics certainly make this more enjoyable. Overall, great entry!

Quacktum EntanglementThe art work was really great as well as the audio. The mechanics and the implementation were great. I really liked it. The controls were on-point and The animations. Oh! The Animations. One of the best of this jam. A very well polished game.

Back To Square 1Okay, It's the best game I've played from the game jam submissions ! The game is incredibly polished ! Where did you find time to make all this art and code ? Movements are smooth, animations are great, sound is perfectly adequate. The concept is very cool, it's pleasant to become master of time. Levels are well-designed, I enjoyed take time to find the solution ! One slight note, death is a bit frustrating, maybe you could give higher jump for the player or reduce enemies hitbox.
Good job !

QuarterBACKHoooly moly. This game is crazy. This is by far the best entry I've played, 5/5 in every category. Really, wow, I didn't expect this. I think this game is almost perfect from every perspective. The only thing I have to critizice, which is really nitpicking, is that some sounds are way too loud and you can't hear the music anymore. Oh and also maybe in the last level, you could have done a more logical solution, because I just had to trial and error till everything timed correctly.
But other than that, everything is great. The art and the animations are adorable, player, environment and enemy alike, even the death animation is great. The menu is nice and simple and has a continue button, if you exited the game. The rewind mechanic is masterfully integrated, and it feels super polished and juicy if you manage to kill enemies in a row. I don't know how you made the rewind this great and on point, it never breaks and is not buggy at all.
I won't be suprised if this wins the jam. Really, well done!

Rewind Your LifeOh, that's not a problem for winning! The rating still goes one whole week, I am certain you get the 20 ratings needed :)
I suggest you rate more games of other people, they will certainly come to your game then and rate it too.
And, I don't know if you know it, more ratings doesn't mean higher chances of winning. You just need the 20.
This is a super polished game, and it makes you feel clever when you solve a room. I was also impressed you implemented a save feature! Excellent job. The art is awesome as well.

Eugene's Casualties of CausalityWow this was super polished! I really like the amazing sprite art and effects. The cloack guy mechanic is a really clever idea/method, you should keep working on it! Great job submitting to the jam, and I hope you learned a lot of new things! If you have time, please check out my entry :D

Final Mission: REWINDVisually breathtaking and incredibly fun gameplay. I really loved the idea of manipulating time to perform puzzles as well as utilizing the physics of dead enemies to solve them. The graphics look incredible and the clock wizard is the cutest character I have ever seen.
Nice work!
Submitted
Shuriken showdownIt was a nice experience; but I do feel that with how limited the clock guy is in terms of positioning, and the one hit deaths, it made me have less of an experience than I would have liked.
