Ranked from 4 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 utilizes rewinding to help the player recover from missteps. It's also meant to take players back to a simpler, less stressful form of gaming - something I miss about my childhood favorites.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The majority of scripts used in my game were based heavily off of those found in many Brackeys tutorials! And assets are free ones that were made by others. I am grateful to have completed my first game jam! Thank you for all your help.

This was a very good game however I found one bug that when rewinding the player got stuck below the platforms sometimes and if you release the button he just zooms down. Also it would be great if you added some items to find as it is quite bare right now. But the visuals and the audio was really good. The music was very calming and I enjoyed it.

Could you please check my game too? I would be really grateful if you checked it out.

pretty pleasant experience, good job!
since exploration is the focus i wish there was some more interesting stuff to find
(even if it was just a little flag at the top or something)

Thank you for taking a look at it! You know, that is a fantastic thought. I will have to keep that in mind for future jams—although I think after this experience I should be able to get quite a bit further.

I did not expect to have so much fun from a jumping simulator! 

The atmosphere is something to be proud of, very beautiful artstyle and music, very in tune!!

I do hope you develop it further and it is a real shame you haven't got more ratings  :^(  though I expect that to change.

Great job making this, hope you had fun doing it as well, and I've followed you for good measure! ^^

Thank you! I am definitely working on it more even now. I just wish I’d had the foresight to publish in WebGL rather than just for Windows 😂 I really appreciate it!
