The mechanics of not being able to go back is very nice. Well done, bravo!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
After completing a round the player’s movement is “rewound” and played through a ghostly enemy, this will continue to iterate for every round.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all except the font, which was 100% free license.

Love the concept and it's great how easily understandable it is without any instructions. It turns into a really challenging puzzle game, very well done!

It's a wrap! (Jam version)I got a score of 404, neat concept. This is very well done. Am I doing something wrong, or is there no audio?

Eugene's Casualties of CausalityFun game! I enjoyed it.
Liked the pacman homage and it was a nice take on the theme, really original and innovative.
It's a really interesting mechanic to have the ghosts of your past restrict your future movements. One thing I didn't realize on the first playthrough and was a really nice touch was that your score would decrease over time, pushing you to move more quickly.
I would definitely play something with these mechanics on my free time and enjoy it. An element of competition like a highscore leaderboard would hook me up a lot too.
I feel like it could've been more fun if it was faster at the start or if the map was smaller so you'd run into problems sooner. Maybe it was just me wanting a bigger challenge.
I don't know if there was music or not but I didn't get to hear it. I think an 8-bit spooky theme would fit nicely.
Great idea and nice work!

Retro WarriorThis was really fun! I think you have a solid idea and executed it well. Definitely one of my faves of the jam so far. I think you could introduce the ghost sooner but that's not a big deal. Good job!

Quest For Plantlandia!Really cool concept, a new take on pac man. I liked it a lot! I can see myself playing this on mobile while waiting for something, maybe doing a port to mobile would be cool! Really original idea, very interesting. The art is cute and really impressive, simple but pretty! Nice job on this game!
Hey, why don't you try mine and leave it a rating?

LAILAYo’ Templar here,
Very fun take on good old pacman, the only thing lacking is music and sfx, and maybe increase the speed of the player to make a round be little short.

Jeam's Big DayYou´ve created a nice small game. It´s a cool idea to record the player´s movement and put it onto an enemy. After some rounds it gets really stressful. I´ve had a lot of fun playing it.
I´ve submitted a local multiplayer game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722755. I would be happy to get your feedback on it. :-D
