Cool game! I really like how it's possible to push the enemies around and into lava to kill them, it really adds some great and fun variety to the combat and makes the player feel smart and inventive. This is a really great game for your first game especially, great job!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
It is a 2D Shooter with the ability to rewind time.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes all the code is written by me and the assets are simply basic 2D shaped sprites.

I liked how the controls felt, the artstyle is simple but actually really nice, good sounds and fun gameplay, but the rewind mechanic is not that useful and it only works as a way to recover health. Overall i enjoyed the game!

Back in LabIt is a nice little game which is quite pleasant to play.
Overall I didn't really feel the need to use the rewind function, and found that avoiding the enemies was just faster.
Also, I didn't like that the player was so "floaty". It was hard to avoid projectiles once in the air. There is a GDC talk: Building a better jump, that gets into details of how to implement a, well, better jump.
Good job on your first game!

Adoptatron 8000The game play was super smooth. I had a bit of difficulty finding incentive to use the rewind mechanic though. What was your intended use when you designed it?

Ret:Roller 443I really liked the game! Minor things that would improve the game:
- Making the UI a tad bigger, i didnt even noticed where was my healthbar until 2 minutes in
- Having a timer between shots so you cant spam as much
Overall really fun game!

Destroy All Aliens!I enjoyed this a lot! Some volume settings would've been nice, because it's really loud at the start lol. Also holding down the mouse button instead of spamming it would've been better I think

Final ShotThis was pretty cool! The mechanics were simple, but the rewind was well done and, more than some of the games I've tried, I actually found myself using it quite a lot and wishing I had more energy at times. The floaty physics of the jump felt lighthearted and good, too. Got lots of airtime to shoot with. The graphics were simple, but clean, and the audio fit (except the main menu music, which came on at pretty high volume right away). It was clear some effort went into enemy variety, but I think a bit more could have helped there -- most enemies seemed to have the same shot behavior with slightly different speed/timing.

CrystalliaThis was one of the most fun games I've played so far! I do wish there was a little bit of camera shake though.

RewindRushFor your first game this is really good- fancy graphics and stuff can come later. I like how you use simple mechanics in an intuitive way to make a game that's fun and challenging. It is also very nice how it starts out with a super short intro level to orient the player. Great work!

The Case of the Deviant DetectiveYeah this game rly wasnt that hard with an auto clicker... you should add fire rate to the shooting...

The ProjectileThis was a really cool game, the music was immersive and the gameplay was just the right difficulty for me. If I were to make suggestions I would say to turn down the bloom a bit, it's pretty overwhelming and messed with my eyes. It also didn't feel great when a wave of enemies spawned on top of you, but it wasn't a huge deal because the rewind mechanic allows the player to get out of that situation.

Ben Ding TimePretty good, game ! I enjoyed the theme and the gameplay was well-made!

Supataimu Sentai ULTRAReally nice sound effects and music! It really had me immersed in the game! It's also really fun to spam the mouse button and kill the enemies.
One suggestion is to give the player a bit more control by making the jumping a little less floaty. Also, it would be good to force the player to use the rewind ability because most of the time I just forgot that it was an ability and just never used it.
Great submission though!
