First of all the movement feels great and I liked the puzzles a lot!
The graphics and the music were nice too!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
It is a BoxPusher puzzle game where you can rewind moves.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
EVERYTHING
EDIT: Well... this is awkward, we realized there was a bug in this version that at level 12 player couldnt move anymore and stopped the gameplay to go any further, here's the fixed version so you can play it fully. We couldn't update this page due to the gamejam's time restrictions . Thanks!

Awesome game. Reminded me of Sukoban with a modern touch, and a nice application of the theme to the mechanics of the game :)

Panic's UnderworldFun and relatable :P But I came to a stop at the level with a door. Didn't know how to open it ^^' And using spacebar for talking and then for drugs was a bit annoying.

A ninja in timePretty solid! I liked the music and the core mechanic. Pretty unfortunate about the executable upload, but still a good game overall!

In RepriseAmazing game , I really connected with the main character. I myself have felt quite isolated sometimes in parties when I didn't know anyone and it felt very awkward to talk to other people . Also the commentary on drugs to escape the party was pretty cool as well. Very well made and well polished. The puzzles are the right difficulty level, not to hard or not to easy. Keep it up guys!

Hell GatesI liked your game a lot, the game play was fantastic, but I think if you added sound effects, the game could've been a little better. Otherwise, it was a very nice game!

Forest RunCool puzzle game with an excellent vibe! Here's my feedback:
Great!
- The art style and the colors are awesome!
- The rewind effects are done very well. The color shifting makes it come alive.
- The music is sweet, it's a mix of great beats and eerie sounds.
- All of the levels were interesting to solve and kept increasing steadily in difficulty.
Can be improved
- There wasn't a button prompt for progressing dialogue and space worked at the beginning. Once I started taking the rewind pills though, pressing space not only advances the dialogue, but also makes the character take a pill. I later discovered I could press W on my keyboard (AZERTY) to advance the dialogue without taking a pill. It might be best to ignore the Space input for the pill if there's a dialog box open.
- The controls seem to be oversensitive. I had to carefully use the arrow keys one push at a time in order to move where I wanted. Maybe snap the character to each tile and wait a little while before letting him move further when a key is being held down?
I think I saw an easter egg when I switched to fullscreen, the text read "Elo: Cuando se acaba este sufrimiento llamado gamejam". I translated it and it said "Elo: When this suffering called gamejam ends". You guys did great though! :D
In a nutshell, great game that deserves a full release IMHO. Well done!

In The MindThis is an excellent game, Incredible Job. Love the puzzles, graphics, audio and all. the only issue i have is that when you press e/space to get rid of the chat box, it also uses a pill. but i guess there is z for not using the pill (although it becomes confusing).
You did an amazing job with this. great work :D

Timeless TomI like the art style. and the portrait of the game. the puzzle and the quaratine think was fun and funny. Pass level three or four i think. i get stuck and i am not sure what to do. I dont know if that is done on purpose but aside from r and the controls, i dont know what to do, to try to solve the puzzle pass level 3 or 4. also the text is to big for the screen pass level 1 or 2. like i cant read the text anymore.

Back In TimeNice done concept! The puzzles were unique and interesting while using the rewind in a neat way. Good job!

Back in LabAmazing game! You nailed it, really original idea, I enjoyed a lot solving puzzles with that rewind mechanic!
Submitted
Chess II: CounterattackFantastic job on your first game! Puzzles were good and I the artstyle was very unique and cute. In my opinion the movement needs some work, sometimes it felt really unresponsive. But that didnt take away from my experience, I had a really fun time playing this. So overall, great job and great entry! :D

Rewind [0]Back when I was a teenager that dreamed of being able to make games, there was a home brew kit for the PS1 called the Yaroze it was expensive and mostly aimed at the burgeoning indie scene, any way each month on a PS1 magazine there was a Demo disc with a Yaroze game and there was one like this I cant remember its name but you brought me back to that time, thank you. :)
really great

Time and TideThis was a Home Brew Yaroze game that got a commercial release, which at the time was unheard of from some dude making games in their bedroom:

Shadow SandsReally liked this game! The animations are few but incredible, and the music is awesome too. I also liked the puzzles built around the mechanic and the way rewinding is introduced, nothing bad to say!
Top entry in my opinion, good job! Would appreciate if you took a moment to rate my game :)

ManoloThe puzzles in this are well designed and you factored in the "Rewind" concept quite nicely. The music and art art pretty good, and the little dialogue titbits add quite a lot to the game's feel.
Nice job guys.
