In what way does your game fit the theme?
You need to kill robots, but you have limited ammo, so when you're out of ammo, you can use a rewind effect to get ammo back
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I used Unreal Engine (blueprints) to create this game. I made everything myself, except the music, particles and the floor and wall materials

I really love the movement in this game. It's a bit rough around the edges at some times, but for a game jam this is incredible!
The only thing I don't like about the game, ironically, is the rewind mechanic. I feel like it breaks the flow of the game. I'd like to go through the entire level, never touching the ground, shooting all the enemies as I go. That feels awesome. But waiting for the rewind to get ammo just stops the game in its tracks. If you are going to continue with this game, I recommend you scrap the rewind mechanic entirely.
If you do want to keep it, I had some issues where the rewinding sometimes kept going long after I released E and sometimes stopped while I was still holding E.
Don't get me wrong, I really like this game. I think you should be proud of what you accomplished in just a week. But to me the rewind mechanic feels crammed in to fit the theme, while it does not fit in an otherwise great game.
I'd really appreciate it if you would have a look at my game as well, and be sure to download the smaller version :D
To be honest, I completely agree with you about the rewind mechanic. It doesn't fit this game. But the game needed to fit the theme at some way, and this was my solution. About the rewind issues: you only had to press E once and then it will automatically rewind for a random amount to time (because the factory is "glitched") Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it! I will rate your game soon!
I really like the movement & visuals.
Really fun game!
Great game! I'd really appreciate if you could also rate my game!
Really cool game
This was fun. I wish you could control how much you rewind time. Also why water is harmful to me, I'm i a robot or something?
I needed something that was dangerous and the only thing i could think of was water. So I made it toxic water and that's why it is harmful
Then you should have colored it green or brown.
Maybe I will do that in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
Good game. Thanks!
My Eyes are blessed. Thank you
