Great puzzles and use of the theme!

You definitely were thinking out of the......BOX.  LOL see what I did there?  Seriously though that was a fun use of the rewind mechanic with some interesting puzzles.  Well done!

...one can only assume that most of the games submitted for this jam will be time related and therefore many will be stressful. This game is not.

*grinding teeth "oh, that's nice"

But seriously, it's a nice idea, and very nice game! It is quite different to many other games submitted, even other platformers that could, on surface, look very similar.

Very cool game, it's quite similar to my game in the sense where your copies help you finish the level. Great job :)

Submitted(+1)

Very good idea. Not sure if blocks left after rewind should reset when you died... I think I like both ideas. Maybe for an easy mode or something like that.

Liked the mechanic, enjoyed it alot!

Really liked the levels and the rewind mechanic, I hope you continue to work on it and make more levels

Thank you, that means a lot! I will definitely continue working on it :D

The last level is difficult and very stressful, even so I find the game interesting and quite fun.

The game is pretty good with nice levels and a cool mechanic but the controls could be improved - the rewind control should probably be a key rather than a mouse click.

Really nice game, and fits really well with the theme, liked the mechanic a lot!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! A limit on how many times you could rewind would have been interesting! Overall, I enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Its a great idea!

Great music to go with the game, the mechanic works well especially with the spiky walls, I love that you can stop them. some of the later levels did get a little tedious when waiting for the rewind to happen.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! I agree  that it may be tedious, especially the later levels . and to make gameplay a bit easier in the future, I do plan to add a few more levels. Therefore, I am planning on adding a function to remove the last box, as this will make gameplay a bit easier.

The music is calming. Even after you fall into the pit for the 25th time. Cool game.

game is very good. gameplay is very smooth.

full rating on theme and fun aslo in game design ....graphic is decent.

Here's my review of this game, somewhat divided up according to the rating categories.

The art looks good with the main issue being some inconsistencies such as the levels being pixel art while the player itself is not.

It was fun to play and the level design was interesting with each level being a different challenge.

The game followed the theme well but not in the most innovative way, i can imagine most of the submissions being platformer games with the player having similar abilities.

Included music definitely helped the game quite a bit while the sound effects weren't the greatest.

Overall, the game was exactly what it was described as, a relaxing puzzle platforming game, the gameplay is fun and interesting, making for an overall positive experience.

thanks for playing my game and writing such extensive feedback, it helps me a lot! I agree that the sound design and graphics could use a lot of work, those are things I'm hoping to get better at in the future :) I'm glad you had fun though!

The level design is pretty good and it was cool to build solutions around the mechanic. Sometimes the blocks got in the way of each other so maybe having it so you can jump through the bottom of the blocks and land on top would have been nice. Overall solid game!

Developer

I agree that the soft lock can be annoying in this game, therefore I plan on  adding a mechanic which allows the player to remove their last placed box. Thanks for your feedback anyways, I really appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

Not my kind of game but I can see someone spending hours on this so objectively speaking it's pretty good, I also loved the simplistic design!

Developer(+1)

I appriciate you taking the time to rate my game, and I will definitely continue working on it
