In what way does your game fit the theme?
Phantom-Man, Phantom-Man! Copies himself, goes to where he began!
Phantom-Man is a game where you have the powers to create different types of phantoms that performs actions in a reverse timeline to aid in battle against the sand-ghosts! Beware of your phantom actions though, they may help or go AGAINST YOU!
-The Phantom creation mechanic fits the Rewind theme, in an unique way :)
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Code & art all made by GladGib (except particle effects, they are by Polygonal Stuff). Music assets are by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

I really enjoy playing it. It was fun to learn how to play it and shoot to the ghosts. The idea of leaving path behind player and them creating new phantom from the reverse timeline and the idea that some of them might help you or try to kill you, I really like that and I think it is really creative. I also like that the live is slowly returning to normal so you can play for longer. :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Glad that you've enjoyed playing it!
Fun gameplay! Kinda repetitive after a while, could add power ups or something to make it more engaging. But overall, was good. Good job!
Thanks for your play & feedback! Yeah, I can agree with your comment, I've had several ideas to make the game progress with more unique & interesting enemies/boss/events, but did not have enough time to implement them - will explore those in the future!
Interesting game! Was a fun gameplay :) The only thing I would comment on is that I found an almost foolproof way to get a score of maybe infinity and that's by going up and down or side by side at the edges of the map. Doing so spawns your ghost counterpart and doubly shooting clears the enemies so fast plus you barely lose any hp. I reached to 3000 before I stopped. Rated! Hope you try out and rate our game as well!
Thanks for your play and feedback! That is a good feedback, and i definitely agree with it. I have explored several ideas to make the corrupted phantom mechanic more prominent, such as:
Unfortunately while working on other things, time was up and wasn't able to do much for these, but definitely something to look into in the future :)
I will play your game soon!
very addicting arcade shooter with great graphics design! (im a bit of a sucker for pastel/muted colored low poly 3d)
Thanks a lot for playing! glad that you enjoy the graphics style!
Cool concept!
Really nice game!!
Definitely an original mechanic, I enjoyed the game a lot ! I especially like the fact that the mechanic can backfire. The pacing is very good and getting a high score is satisfying. Good job !
Fun game, I liked it.
This is so original ! I love the rewind friend we get and it is so much fun just to run around and get as high score as you can! Thanks for making this. Id make sure to come back to it !
This is a very original game, nice concept!
