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.

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

btw thank you!!!!!

Submitted

Developer

very fun and fits the theme well and unique idea 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!!!

Submitted

man this game is JUICY. Love all the feedback from shooting and killing stuff.

I think I have two main thoughts on this game. The first is that, despite the levels changing and difficulty increasing, the game kind of stayed the same. I know "point and shoot" sounds like it may be oversimplifying but its ultimately what I did for all 10 levels. I didn't really have to move, or change my playstyle as eras regressed, I just kept clicking on the bad guys.

You guys came up with one of the more unique takes on the theme, I think it would've been better to see you just take it and run wild. The consequences of eras and weaponry rewinding don't feel all that important in it's current state.

The other thought is that the character controller seems to be inconsistent in how it moves, for me at least. This is mostly what drove me to not even bother with moving and jumping.

Developer

Thanks for the appreciation!!

really liked ur feedback!!

Submitted

Really great UI Design!

Submitted

Cool game overall. One of the most unique ideas i've seen on this gamejam. The only thing that did bother me (personal opinion) was the music, in my opinion it was way too repetitive and i started to hate it after 3 or 4min of playing. Everything else is fine, it is pleasing to play and it has a cool mechanic. Good job!

Developer

Thanks Bud!!!

Well u can turn off the music and sound by going to the settings menu

we will surely test ur ideas in the future game jams!!!!

Submitted

Yeah did mute the music, great choice to add the possibility to do so. Great job! :)

Developer

:)

Submitted

Great Idea! really unique and fun!

Developer

Thank you!!!

Submitted

Great game and idea! The sound design makes it really satisfying to play!

Developer

thanks alot buddy!!!

Submitted

This game is really fun! the idea of weapons switching over time makes for a really good mechanic! I didnt run into any bugs or strange issues while playing, so its a pretty solid game!

Developer

Thank You Bud!!!!!!!!!!!

Submitted

I really liked your game! The story was creative. The sounds work well and the music does the job. The UI was great and I enjoyed the way you presented the instructions to the GreatPlayer!
I did music and sound for this one: https://mastro2k.itch.io/whathehole Maybe we can Jam together in the future!

Developer

Thank you!!!

Developer

Yes we can definitely think of doing a collab.

Submitted

Nice game! Short and fun. I liked the visuals, however the gameplay was a little too random sometimes, especialy at the last boss level, which I beat nonetheless. Overall, cool little game.

Developer

Thank You So Much!!!

Submitted

Really fun game, simple but well executed and polished. The idea idea of the era changing with the time counter and the gun changing as well is really clever and added a level of diversity and complexity to the gameplay. The tutorial page is wonderfully made so it's simple to understand what is going on.  Also the music is great and the art is beautiful, really liked those backgrounds. Overall good job! :D

Developer

Thanks for the kind words mate!!!

Submitted

A simple but well-thought out game. It can be a strain on your hands. haha. But however it is charming and a big thrill to play. Could be a perfect mobile game if you add some more features! Please do check out my game. Only has two ratings so far, and I hope you enjoy it. This is an awesome game!

Developer

Thank you mate really appreciate you!! i will check yours too!

Developer

Well Your Game Was Good But That Kind Of Idea Was Used By Many Players . Bur Overall Nice Game!!!!

Submitted

Simple but solid. the bullet speed for each downgrade was noticeable

Developer

Thank You!!!

Submitted

Was a little dissapointed when the "Boss Level" looked the same as pretty much every other level. My main criticism with this game is that the levels don't really change more than copy-and-pasting enemies in different places. But other than that, the game is really fun. The weapons feel satisfying to use and the connection to the theme is fun too. The gameplay was addicting and the circular arena was unique and fun to bounce around in. Overall, great submission! Awesome work.

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion mate

i will try to improve that in the later jams

Our plan was to be unique!!!

Submitted

Really cool game! Awesome to play, looks great 10/10 would play again :)

Submitted

Super interesting idea! the controls are a bit clunky and enemies move so fast and so randomly that they are difficult to hit, but it's super fun!

Developer

That's the point pal we made it difficult to hit them
