Ranked from 127 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?
The game fits the theme in 2 different ways. Firstly, the player plays in a battlefield shaped like a rewind clock. Secondly, as the level progresses, the player experiences time Rewinds, hence downgrading all of his/her weapons. Also, once the clock hand completes one anticlockwise rotation, the level ends, hence time-bounding the player.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all the scripts, visuals, and music are made by us. (We 2 brothers did a collab!!). The music is custom made by us using BeepBox.co. However, the sound effects(Gunshots, Gun hits, and Explosions) are used from FreeSound.org.

This game is so good! I wish there were 100 more levels! Clever take on the theme, well executed, and you nailed the graphics and the audio! Well done!

Some suggestions:
- Add a fullscreen mode
- Add some screen shake when the player shoots and hits, when something explodes, and such

All in all, great job!

Polished and juicy, smart way to deal with the theme, I think it works pretty well, and each weapon is interesting to use, you did a good job here :)

Submitted

Really nice game :)
I think that you could maybe implement the theme of the game jam a bit more but overall it's a really polished entry^^

thanks alot buddy 😊

Cool little game! like the concept of going back through time and changing weapons every single time, pretty interesting. The graphics are pretty cool too. A possible thing to make your game better is to have the enemy also change their image when you go back through time. Like from robots to cavemen to dinos. Great job!

Developer

thank you so much mate!! 😊

Great game and really addictive, had fun, and was genuinely happy when I finally beat it... you cot the Dopamine release to attention span ratio just about right.!!!

any critisism would be the music but it was bearable and didnt get annoying so its ok I suppose.


Developer(+1)

yep, I think the music needed some improvement, and that's why I included music and sound adjustments in the settings panel :) still, thanks for the good words!!

I love this!

This game is so addictive and fun to play! My only complaint is that I wanted MORE!

I'd happily pay money for this game if it were to get a full release one day!

Developer (1 edit)

We also thought we should add more levels but if this game many levels then some people may frustrate.

Btw we dont sell games for real money :D

THANK YOU!!

Submitted

Really good!

Developer

Thx :D

One of the best games I've played. The game seems simple and easy at first, but having to adjust to the different weapons really makes the game more challenging and interesting! It's really original, the game felt nicely polished with great graphics, and the game design/level design was really interesting, yet simple!

My only complaint is that I wanted more levels at the end xD

Really great job! You don't have to, but could you check out my game as well?

Developer(+1)

Thanks alot for the great words, fella!!

Tried your game, and man it was so pleasing!!

The graphics were perfectly dark, and I suppose you did that purposely to fit the theme of the game...Overall, a really well made game!!!

Submitted

Really awesome and well implemented idea! I love the creativity and the  frantic feel created by having all the cubes bouncing around and running into each other! The idea of downgrading weapons and having to learn the different strategies for each also really added to the gameplay.  I feel like the music is a bit repetitive, and a few more measures would be nice, but I honestly really loved this game and had a ton of fun playing!

Developer

Thank you!!! however u can adjust music and pls watch the amazing trailer we made!!

Submitted

Just watched the trailer and it was super awesome! I think it is WAY better than many trailers and ads for games I see.  Also, thanks for pointing out the music/sfx adjustment, that's a really nice feature to add! I think I still enjoy leaving the music on more than playing without, but just felt like the loop that plays in the background could be a little longer. Overall, though, the short music was a really small inconvenience in a really great game!

Developer

Thanks for the great words bud!!! thank you for appreciating!!

Submitted

Nice concept :) the laster gun is very satisfying to shoot with

Developer

Thanks alot, Fella!!

Developer(+1)

I Played your game it was cool!!!

Thank you so much FarhanExclusive! Glad you liked it!

Hey!

Cool idea and great job implementing it. The game feels polished and I really liked the juiciness of it. The whole game felt just right if we talk about difficulty, but then Level 10 made me 'suffer' for about 5 minutes) 

Developer(+1)

Thanks, means alot!!

Submitted

I reached level 7 and lost :(.  Great game! I like the mechanics and it's fun to play :)  I can see you worked hard on the backgrounds too. Good job!

Developer

Thank You!!!

This game is all around just good, it has juicy effects, good sounds, fun gameplay, I wish there was more variety though, maybe different type of sprites, instead of cubes maybe they could change from astronauts to maybe something like cavemen when the time is about to run out, the "rewinding" is also pretty unique in this one. All around well made game, although the boss fight was pretty lacking and not very fun to complete

Game Design: 4/5 - Pretty unique

Fun: 4/5

Innovation: 4/5

Theme: 4/5

Graphics: 3/5 - Wish there was more! The effects are nice but the cubes are boring!

Audio: 4/5

Developer

Thank you!!!

i also wanted to make the boss fight tougher but many ppl (non-gamers ig ) complained that the boss fight is too tough

btw thank you!!!!!

Submitted

cool particle effects

Developer

Thanks fella!

Submitted

very fun and fits the theme well and unique idea too.

it can be developed to much bigger version hope you can do that too

i hope your team also can play my game and give feedback

Developer

Thank you i will play yours too!!

Submitted

Really cool game short and sweet but very fun! This game is incredibly polished from the menu's to the weapons. Lots of player feedback which I like a lot. Well done!

Developer

Thank you!!!
