In what way does your game fit the theme?
Rewind time and paths. You should finish each level by chosing the best path that will allow you to return at the beginning in the easier way possible; also you should respect time which is counted like the time of stop. So rewind here is a mechanic activated at the end of each room so at the middle of each level.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. Everything is made by me, code and assets. The music is from Density and time and is free to use; its title is "Maze"

While I personally could not get very far, I love this game's concept. Its very puzzle oriented as well as timing focused. I think there is totally room for maybe a more forgiving difficulty that can be swapped to, as I felt I had to be extremely precise for every movement and it was tough. If this game ever gets easier I would love to give it another shot. Great job!
Well, everyone found that difficult, will try to make it easier for a final version. Thank you
Well, this was a very hard game. I think I got to level 3 or 4, then I got a fatal error and the game crashed :/
it's a bug that happens if you jump at the position of beginnong, you can load it if you want to play it later. Thank you!
Ok... reach level 7 or 8 (the one after the 4 big jumps gaps), but run out of patience lol. As you said in the community... it HARD. Specially when the target platform is lower than the starting jump point, or viceversa, and you can't make the rewind ball jump highter or lower.
The game is really good, could be great if you tweek that small issues. Congratulations!
Oh cool, that's what I wan't, that people can reach that level. Yeah it's indeed hard that level, too hard, but I did it. Will show a screenchot if I find it. And thanks for your feedback!
This game is hard as hell but rewarding. I reached level 5 or 6, I think it's a cool concept that with more balancing and refinement the experience could be greatly improved. I would suggest making the path visible on the run, creating it behind the player at the same time he moves. Overall is a great game with a fun and challenging gameplay mechanic that fits the theme 100%.
That's cool you could reach that level, most of people stuck at level 2 (and level 1 isn't really a level). And thanks for your feedback i'm really glad!
Truly the ball must hate humanity if it chooses to use Papyrus as font! And also props on using the word beatitude. That certainly did push a button in my lizard brain.
But I gotta say that it is a too hard, It is really really difficult.
I however did experience one crash upon first jumping. Could not recreate it.
Solid prototype for something along the lines of a rage game.
Yeah it's a bug I forgot to fix, for the jump at the beginning, sorry for that... Thank you for your feedback!
No problemo. A pleasure to be of service.
The game needs to be a bit more forgiving of human mistakes. Players should be able to have some degree of error in their trajectory. I couldn't get past the second level just because I wasn't able to retrace my steps as perfectly as the game demanded. Keep it up!
Good design, I liked the idea, but I couldn't get past second level and quit in frustration.
The second level it's easy just see the screenshot in posted in the reply of another comment! Thanks for your feedbak!

I couldn't complete your game since it was too hard and got frustrating trying to complete the third level. This is a great game none the less , just needs some polishing and quality of life changes to make it perfect. Very well made for a short time frame. Well done bro! Rated! :D
Thank your very much it's very constructive! And thank you for taking your time playing it before! (for the story it should be understood at the ending but anuway...)
ahh i see, I really like to finish games so I will complete it when I have some time.
too difficult for me , and i'm confused about the game goal
Hey! the goal is to return to the start position after rewind by following the same path, and for the difficulty, yeah it's difficult but I tried doing levels before
The game play felt smooth when running in the normal timeline, but for me were a bit hard to master in the reversed timeline.. I learned to master it in the third level.. he he !!
The story is a bit dark though !! Reminds me of batman !!
The controls are responsive and smooth !!
Graphics are nice but the main feel comes from the music !! I loved that !!
Although I noticed an error in the o_timer , a bit like array index kind of thing... looked like an array out of bound error ! Well that happened to me only one time so I barely remember what exactly it was !!
Awesome and very challenging game !! Enjoyed a lot !!
hey, thank you for testing it and giving detailed feedback! I wanna ask: what level could you reach?
oh yeah, if the error came after jumping in the start position, it's a bug i noticed and forgot to fix, I'm sorry for that!
I crossed the second one after so many hit and trials but for me it was very hard to master my own paths !!
Cool, after the second and until the eighth levels are easy, I think
really interesting game its kinda hard but fun to play! Great
I thought the colors of the game were good, I liked the background music and a different idea. I found it a little difficult, my suggestion would be to have a tolerance of error when doing the opposite way. Congratulation!
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah everybody find it difficult; but it can be done (a least I tested it and saw someone doing most of levels guided by my hints); well it' hardcore. However there is tolerance but only for time I will see after the Jam if I can let tolerance for the path too. Thanks again
I know this is a ragegame, but I'd argue its really hard to impossible. I didn't come further than the 2nd level sadly. What I like is that the theme has been implemented in a really creative and new way, I have not seen before. Maybe it would be better if there is a buffer, so you can stand roughly for the same time in the same place? To make everything precise to the frame, it is too hard. At least for me haha.
At one point I also bugged myself into the ground, but thats of course just a minor thing. The controls were snappy and easy to understand, just as the mechanic itself. I instantly knew what to do and didnt need a long tutorial! I like the music, and also wanna add that I really see potential for the game, if you make it a bit easier :)
Dont worry, its absolutely no problem! Thanks for explaining ^^
This level hit me so hard !!!!
I'm stuck on the first level and I don't know what to do. help
explain how you are stuck if you can
I just dont know what to do
Run til the black object and return to initial position following the same path of going
I think it is said in rules but ok, hope it's clear now
Great game! I think it's a bit hard and sometimes the ball gets stuck, but overall it's a good experience :D
yeah I wanted it to be hard if players does not think differently in each level. And yeah the ball stucking before jump sometimes is annoying, I'm sorry I could not fix that
Nice work! The background was a great touch!
Well i think the background isn't the extraordinary thing but ok thanks for feedback
Cool game, I like the changing background! XD
Nice game! Really!
thank you, you are the only one you downloaded
