First of all the game looks amazing! I love the art!

I think it is fun to play and because you had a list of known bugs, I was able to avoid them.

The only thing are the bugs but you already know them.

Overall a great game!

Developer

Its incredible how you made a random level generator for your game, quite impressive

Submitted

I really like your UI, the fact that you've handle different res and difficulties great. I got a little setuback when rewinding and reconstructing i got stuck in the middle of the construct jeje just a minor bug . Great game 

Submitted

Interesting rewind mechanic. I did find it to be a little buggy at times (start a rewind and then stop and start again and sometimes some things do not rewind properly.)

I love the difficulty menu by the way, I was also impressed by the roll on landed movement, with some more polish it would be very decent. Just a little easy to trap yourself with your rewind ability.

Developer

yeah, the problem with rewinding and stoping is that I didnt record the velocity of the props in each point, so when you stop rewinding, they have 0 velocity. the effect is that if you rewind, stop, let the prop fall and then rewind it again, the prop goes up until you stoped rewinding, and then sudenly accelerates

Developer

I just played your game, Loved the graphics, audio and effects

Submitted

I really liked the rewind mechanic and in some occasions I found really clever how it is necessary to make progresses in the game. I had fun playing it, well done!

If you have time check out our game!

Developer

just checked out your game, its Awesome, loved the puzzles

Submitted

Fun game, there's a few problems you already know about, but with those fixed it could be a really addictive game. I like how the character moves (animations and physics).

Well done .

PS: Don't hesitate to check out my game also :)

Developer

Just checked out your game, Its pretty cool

Submitted

Amazing game! I also made a shooter!

Developer(+1)

Your shooter is pretty good, Great tutorial (i didnt realize i could move until level 2 :p i must be dumb)

Submitted

Besides the bugs that you already know about, it's a fun game with interesting mechanics. I especially like the platform rewind to get higher and the fact that levels are not linear.
The gameplay is stable but more variety in general could help it a lot. Maybe even putting more focus on the rewinding parts to really enhance them, since they are what makes your game unique, would make it better.
Finally, I don't agree much with the rewind bar, since I don't think there's really a need for it to have to recharge. Many times it's just you rewinding half of a bridge, waiting for the bar and rewinding again.
Overall it's a good game, well done

Developer

The issue with the rewind bar is that i cant save every point of every prop all the time (i made some tricks to not sace all points, like ignoring points if the props aint moving). so at first i limited it to the duration of the rewind bar. but i had a problem that the save point duration was kinda low, so i made it that you could save TWICE the duration of the rewind bar, without increasing the rewind time (Because i didnt want to  make you able to rewind non stop). im gonna check out the rewind bar duration

thx for the feedback :D

Developer

Just checked out your game, loved how you have to rewind and see what happened to progress next time (reminded me of Outer Wilds, and I loved it)

Submitted

I love the character movement, it feels so good to shoot and run :D Also the idea of rewinding time just for certain objects to repair is really nice. 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I love your game mechanics, and the atmosphere of you game is perfect

Submitted

Hi, I notice several bugs but I can read you fixed them..

Also during the tutorial I rewinded the boxed and I got stuck between them..

I like how the other shoot and how the player moves.

Good job.

My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks

Developer

I know about that bug, but have no idea how to fix it yet :p

Maybe i could make it teleport you out of the brooken prop? I dunno, i have to check the rewind code.

Developer

just checked out your game. The audio felt really nice, good job

Submitted

I really enjoyed the game! I just wish that the bugs were fixed. I like the physics and the simplicity of the enemies. I also can't seem to pick up any other guns. Great job for a week!

Developer(+1)

I enjoyed how you change the map based on the players path in your game, great job :D

Submitted

This comment was supposed to be about your game! Thanks for that!

Submitted

Good approach to rewind mechanic

Developer

Your Game is awesome, love Bullet Hells, and the rewind shield is a great idea

Submitted

It's a really fun and interesting game and fell highly polished.

Submitted

Very fun game. Rewind mechanic is implemented well. Guns feel nice and animations are sick. Well done!

Developer

thanks, I loved your game too

Submitted

it is a very cool game enjoyed a lot

Developer

Thx, Glad you liked it :D

Submitted

Hi, i've played and rated your game. I really like it. Very well made. I would prefer if i could jump with space instead of W, but nevertheless. Very good game!

Developer

you can jump with space, the controls I showed in the tutorial are just a recomendation

The movement controls are:

Left: "A", "Left Arrow"

Right: "D", "Right Arrow"

Jump: "W", "Up Arrow", "Space"


The rest (Shift, G, mouseclick) are only those

Submitted

Oops, i really didn't notice that i can jump with space xD

Developer

I just checked out your game. I liked the art style

Submitted

Thank you !

Submitted

What worked was fun. Get those bugs fixed and i would like to see a polished product. Good job.

Please rate and play my game too: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/723414

Submitted

Thanks! I would appreciate that!

The game is fun and nice to play, i really love bullet trails so using that with multiple shots at a time makes the gun battles very cool. The rewinding effect on the objects is pleasing to watch and reconstructing plaforms that you just broke to get to a higher place is really rad hehe.

Nice job on the game! 

Submitted

I love how the main character dives in his jump animation. Neat little game I also liked the destruction and reconstruction through rewinding of items in this game really cool stuff.

Developer(+1)

Just checked out your game, its really nice :D

Submitted

Thanks!

Submitted

I like the game, rewinding objects was a pretty good idea, I don't know but the restart doesn't work for me and sometimes and got stuck on things that I rewind.

Developer (1 edit)

If you mean that when you press esc it doesnt bring up the menu, thats a bug that i fixed allready (But cant upload because Jam)

to avoid that bug you should set the difficulty level in the option menu
