Ranked from 46 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?
There is an option where the player can move in the present, however the enemy units are moving back in time for approximately 5 seconds.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. Only for the character sprite and animation and the music I used premade assets due to lack of time.

Nice game, very fun!

I dont like to attack if "Q", not seems to me an easy way to control the player, but its ok.

The graphics are good and the music is great, but the music does not loop properly. I miss the SFX too. But stil a great game.

My game is about ninjas too, if you wann acheck it out.

Congrats

The game is fun and fit really well with the theme. The gameplay is really difficult, some guys appear from the right of the map and plan to reach the right corner, so it can be difficult to stop them. I think it  also need some feedbacks because there is no sound to alert you that somebody is attacking you =D. Except these two points, the game is fun and cute. I Like it !

P.S : The "how to play" button is cool !

Graphics and Gameplay is just amazing and juicy

The game had really nice player and enemy graphics and good background music. At first I was sort of confused about what I was supposed to do because I just pressed start game rather than how to play so maybe there is a better method of teaching the player how to play the game. I also think the attack button should have been a mouse click rather than Q but it's fine either way. The game was fun but it got overwhelming very quickly. The enemies spawned quite frequently and it made it kind of hard. I'm unsure if there is a reason to this but I found myself losing health despite not being near any enemies? I liked the implementation of the theme and I hope you continue developing the game.

The theme could be explored further, all around a pretty fun game :thumbsup:

It was a nice game to play and very simple! I did experience a bug where I clicked restart and the screen went gray for me though, had to restart game. Other things I would say to help improve the game is add a health bar to the enemies and some sound effects to help identify when you or the enemy attack. I also found it interesting that a ninja is fighting mummies xD Congrats and good job on the jam! Please check out our game too if you can, leave a rate and comment :) Any feedback is really appreciated!

Developer

Thank you! Great feedback, good points! :)

Pretty solid implementation, but might help if the start was a bit less chaotic. :D The huge monster was fun though.

Great concept, however rewind could be more useful than it is right now, and also more "game juice" can really improve the game :D 

Developer

Thank you!

I like the idea, and the bit of a punishing side, when you rewind too much, the jump is a bit high, and I suddenly realized I died, maybe make an sfx on each damage or smthn to indicate.

Developer

Thank you, and yes good point! :)

Really nice, i think with a little bit more polish of the enemy spawning it will be a really good game, good job : ) 

Developer

Thank you! Happy you liked it for sure it is needing some more polish!

Nicely done! 

There are some thing that didnt suit me, for example the combat system, I had no clue about enemies HP and coulnt see their attacks. The environment wasnt helpful too, i know you had to lift the platfroms up to fit the boss but still, I could reach only one during the fight.

On the other hand the randomly spawned boosts and enraged mode for boss were fun!

Developer

Thank you happy you liked it , thank you for the feedback! :)

Cool game! A couple things that I would change:

-The rewind mechanic isn't really that important to the game, and I could beat levels without using it

-All of the levels were pretty similar, and they didn't force me to use the environment to my advantage. Most of the time I could just run along the floor spamming "q" (Which BTW I would change that to something that I can press with my right hand, because I can't press "q" and "a" at the same time)

-More feedback for when the player is getting damaged

All that being said I thought your game was really interesting and I had a fun time playing it.

Developer

Thanks a lot, very good points made there!

Such a nice game! I really love the Design and the gameplay made soo much fun!

Developer

Thank you I am happy you liked it! :)

I liked this game. It had cool meachanics, and a nice soundtrack. Only complaint I have is that sometimes enemies spawned too close to the border and even with rewinding time I coouldn't catch them. Other than that the only issue that I met was - when boss spawns I can't rewind, and sometimes the enemies are still on the map which makes me loose if those spawn too close to the border

Developer

Thank you , good points! I agree

Nice little game which i had fun playing. One suggestion would be changing the way attacks are registered as the collisions seem inconsistent.

Developer

Thank you, combat system for sure should be reworked! I agree!

Nice game, once i understood how to play it was pretty fun.

Developer

Thank you, for the streaming as well! :)

Great game!  I wish if it was easy to tell if I was hitting the boss or not, because sometimes they turn red without hitting them.  Not sure why.  Good job btw :)

Developer

Thank you!

pretty nice graphics and background music. perfect fit for theme. it's quite hard tho sometimes enemy spawns next to the side and instantly losing health. other than that fun game! good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Congrats on the game! Like the character art! Some feedback:

  • The idea that you will get damaged if you let enemy pass beyond the edge of the map feels pretty challenging. However, it would definitely be better if visual feedback was provided when player is damaged. Sometimes I did not even realise that i was damaged & "suddenly" dies
  • Key bindings are a little weird. I had to use all the keys, including movement, attack & rewind with my left hand. Why not utilize other keys that I can use with my right hand too?

Good job on the game! Do play & rate mine too if you can, thanks :)

Good game with really fluid animations! The player character feels really good to control too. One thing to be aware of is that enemies can spawn really close to the sides of the screen and then walk off, guaranteeing you take damage. Maybe allow them to only spawn in the middle third of the stage, or always walk towards the middle first?

Developer

Thank you! Yes, spawning not so much on the side is for sure one thing that might need to be better balanced. :)
