Interesting mechanic and lovely character! Bunch of levels with increasing difficult. Well done mate! Would love to see more levels after the jam

Submitted

This is a super unique and interesting game

Submitted

Well, that's unique) I loved how you have to make trouble for your past self) One thing though - I got stuck on this level and didn't understand how to proceed (https://ibb.co/MhTjHkj).

Overall, excellent job!

You change direction on yellow walls, so the hint is to look for yellow on the way back.

Hey well done. I really enjoyed your game.  Especially the 80s theme.
It kind of reminds me on my project.  Even with the Shouter xD

Submitted

Wow. Nice work Buddy. All the best. Keep doing the good work :) also i will be happy if look at my game once :) its also webGL game

Submitted

Great game enjoyed it alot!!!!

Submitted

Great game,like the rewind part!!

Submitted

Wonderful game! Unique mechanic of having to beat your ghost in a reverse race. Levels are well thought out. Some jumps can be a little hard, but it was overall a great experience.

Submitted

Nice aesthetic and sounds!  I was imagining someone yelling REWIND RACE in their room lol.  Kind of similar to what I did with a "ghost player" replay type mechanic.   My little piece of constructive criticism is that the jumps can be difficult to pull off, it would be nicer if they were a little more forgiving.

Submitted

I liked the concept, it's very original and fun to play with. I didn't liked the thing about having time to complete the race even for the first time, I guess it's because you can't record the positions of the player forever but anyway it is a fun game. The design is really cool, stylish and the audio can be a little bit repetitive but it is also really good! You did a nice job but I got stuck at the (I think) last level.(It's the third screenshot's level).

Good submit my friend!

Submitted

Nice implementation of the rewind mechanic. I loved the audio. Combined with the visuals really added that arcade feel towards it. Also good level progression.

2 constructive feedbacks: 

  • Ran into a little bug where i would jump into a wall, the character changes direction, but on landing it hits and another wall and gets stuck running into the wall instead of switching direction again.
  • In one of the levels i felt a bit cheated as a player because i was winning, but because i apparently jumped over the flag it didn't count. In that level i would make the flag collider box a little bit bigger.

This is also my first game jam so it's nice to see entries like this. I wouldn't know how to do a replay mechanic like that just yet. What software do you use and how long have you been game devving?

Please take the time to try my game too ^^ Thank you!

Thanks for playing! I thought I fixed all those flags. Must have forgot to fix one of them, haha! Appreciate the feedback! 

I use Unity and have been teaching myself game dev for about 2 years now.

This one was genuinely fun haha. I could totally see it being a Mario Part mini game or something like that! My one issue though is that sometimes the mountains look like spikes on a platform, which made me avoid them at first. It took some mental gymnastics to overlook that design language while playing the first level or two.

Submitted

Woah! By FAR the most creative and interesting take on Rewind I've seen yet! Only critique I have is that the movement felt a little janky, but other than that, everything was super well implemented! Super fun game! 

Submitted

This game was super cool! Racing against yourself backwards is a super unique idea that 100% fits the theme. I think my main complaints are the slow speed of the character and the level difficulty. Almost every level except the last one is only solved by "red stuff first, green stuff second", so if you do continue working on this in the future it would be cool to see more puzzle-y/reaction-y levels like that last one. But I understand it was only a week, and honestly I am super impressed with the level of polish you got in that short of a time! Great job!

Submitted

The game overall presentation is pretty good, nice graphics and sound. I wish that the character moved faster, the green coins kind of solve the issue, but I still wish that the default speed was faster. Good game, really fun!

Submitted

Thats a pretty cool game! I like it! The visuals and the art are great and the gameplay was a bunch of fun! Could you check and rate my game too?

Submitted (1 edit)

Can't help but feel evil since I'm intentionally sabotaging myself to win xD. Really great concept :D   

Submitted

Well done. 

7 days isn't a long time to make a game.

Submitted

Funny game. Well done! :)

I think I'll be hearing "REWIND!" in my head for awhile. Fun game, cool colors, and the music was great.
