In what way does your game fit the theme?

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did everything except for the music, which was free to use.

I loved the gameplay and the idea of rewinding your projectile!

The game is fun to play. I like the artstyle and the sound design.

Really loved the overall game design. The platforming in combination with the attack mechanic really is fun to play with. A personal struggle i felt during gameplay would be the fact that the player lack the ability to control which direction the fireball would fire while wall jumping. It became very difficult at times to hit the enemies if the player is jumping/facing away from the desired target. Otherwise, really well made game. Good stuff.

Cool polished game, nice job, here! The theme is not really on it (not like mine have it xd) but great job! It is really amazing that you managed to make all of these levels for a game jam.

The gameplay and the sound design were completely on point. The movement felt really nice and responsive and the fireball's automatic recall made for a really nice balancing act in the later stages. The levels had a fair bit of variety and the game as a whole was extremely fun to play.

Wow this was super awesome!  I really liked the Megaman like controls.  The rewinding fireball mechanic is soooo cool! (I just wished the attack skill was on another key besides Z, I can't get my pinky to bend like that haha) This idea is clever, 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

Was a bit lost in the menu UI but once I figured it out it was pretty fun platformer with stimulating movement.

Really nice game. Wall sprites are a bit to repetitive and UI could be better. Overall the game is amazing. The audio and SFX just fit together perfectly. Nice job!

Really nice idea, inspired by mega man I see, It's wonderful, really nostalgic and the gameplay feels nice, audio is good, art looks nice. I hate those shielded man hahaha but really. It's a really cool game. after the jam release an update adding hard mode(one hit kill or less health) and better level management(it's really annoying to return to the menu to select a level, just put a next level button)

It's great, I am not a speedrunner but I would love to try to speedrun. Great work man, keep it up!

It was a very nostalgic game, his artistic style, music, and what a cool mechanic, is very different and has several interesting challenges, I think it is worth the investment of time!

Great and inventive mechanic. The fact that throwing away the fireball gives you mobility is a great addition, just as these shield enemies are!

One thing I would love to see in this game is an online scoreboard. This would encourage speedruns and would allow the player to compare his time with others.

A very fun game with a lot of polish. Great work!

Okay but the soundtrack is a banger.

Besides that, the only criticism I have is that I disapprove of blind jumps with spikes at the bottom (most notably in Trick Shot), and that the wall jump felt a bit weird to play with.

Other than that though, great game!

Really fun, at first i did't have much hope on the mechanics but it  surprised me, Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

I like that there was a 'how to play' section and so many levels!

This is a super polished game for the time frame given. Really great job. I can definitely see this going into a full release. I would suggest making it a bit easier to aim the fireball while on walls though. The amount of time to properly aim feels too short.
