very nice implementation of the rewind theme. Super cool game with the main mechanic well thought out. It does introduce some waiting though which is not ideal but I guess it's hard to get around it. One thing i would like to see reworked is the punch. It seems very unforgiving in its current state.

Developer

Thanks! Punching is indeed weird now and will be changed in the first update, and about the waiting we'll also add a fast forward button. So we have both things in mind, thanks for the feedback :)

Beautiful idea and loved the story.  Really enjoyed game play of getting the card at the end of the level but only when I was an old man. Second level is quite tricky, I find the positioning of the controls strange... I kept wanting  to press 'E' instead of 'Q' but that's probably just me. The art is beautiful and your title screen hooked me in. 
We made a story based game set in the past if you have any time to play we only need x2 more votes to be ranked. Great game, well done. 

Developer

Thanks! Might add more controls in the future, or even just remap the keys that are used right now, so we'll keep it in mind :)

I'll check out your game later today!

A wonderful concept and story! Implementing Alzheimer is quite interesting for rewind. The feedback I would give is that maybe increasing the range of attack for the adult version Manolo. Other than that, the sound effects, pixel art and the background music is really nice! Great job!

Thanks! We'll make him deal damage for .2 seconds (the animation length) instead of one frame, which is currently the problem. Thanks :)

That's a really nice concept man :D Loved how you have to use the different abilities of each version of Manolo to make it through the level. Well done ;)

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay is nice, the concept is cool and made the game really fun to play, i liked the touch of the background changing with the age

Beautiful atmosphere and nice gameplay. Great game!

Submitted(+1)

i like how both the story and the gameplay related to the theme of the jam. good job!

So beautiful... The music, the sounds, the sprites, the mood. It's all amazing. The game fits perfectly with the theme. I love the way the background changes when you move through time. There should be a way to either speed up the clock or skip to the next stage in Manolo's life. Sometimes I was just sitting there waiting for him to age.

Developer

Thank you so much! We'll add that button in the next update, it is by far the most requested thing in the comments. Thanks again :)

I loved the idea and how the rewind concept changes the world around! The game and the puzzles are really interesting and fun! With a little bit more of visual polishment, would be awesome!

Also, the only problem that i found was that sometimes you need to wait a long time until the clock reachs the next stage, a way to make time faster should be a nice implementantion! But it's not a big deal, still a great game!

Congrats and great job! :D

Developer

Thanks! The fast forward button is the very first thing the game needs right now, we'll add it soon. Thanks for the review!

I really loved the idea and how many concepts you packed into a single game. Even though the graphics were simple, you can easily improve them and release the game (or use some scaling because in <1080p the some outlines are missing).

Regarding the instructions, the time should not be running out during reading them, so some longer-tutorial phase would be welcome.

Developer

Thanks! About the tutorial, time starts running as you approach the first clocks. Didn't  want to keep it off for longer so the player understands the mechanic as it will work in the game, but maybe starting the clock when getting the first one or when pressing q might be a good idea. We'll keep it in mind.

And about the resolution, that is kinda weird. The game is indeed built to scale in a 16*9 aspect ratio, plus my screen isn't at all 1080p and the game is fully visible. So not sure what the problem is, you also are the first one to say anything on the topic. If you could add a screenshot that would help a lot. Thanks for the comment!

Ohhh I see what you mean now. Those aren't actually the outlines of the sprites, but a weird glitchy behaviour unity has with tilesets. We changed the material of the tiles so that it had pixel snap on and we disabled antialiasing, and now it doesn't happen... some of the times. Don't really now why it happens, but we'll work on it once the jam is over. Thank you so much!

Developer

Also some documentation in case you're interested :)

I mean, I know about tile tearing but it's not a big deal, the outlines of the sprites seem to be lost (look at the character or at the pause icon). I'm not a Unity user but there might be some setting to enable bilinear scaling (ironically, I have the opposite issue with OpenFL where I wanted nearest scaling to keep pixelation and it was fixed on some linear/cubic😅)

Really great game, the theme is applied very good and the mechanics are great, I suggest you change the controls "Space" to rewind and "Q" to make the action, because I feel the Space is more for the core mechanic, and it was a little weird the attack movement of Manolo, the middle one, I felt the hit box of the puch was pretty closed to the hit box of his body, but more than that, the game is perfect, one of my favorites so far, incredible job! Congrats!

Developer(+1)

Muchas gracias! Cambiar los controles es buena idea, y el puñetazo definitivamente tenemos que cambiarlo. Lo tendremos en cuenta para futuras versiones, gracias! :D

Submitted

Really fun game and great take on the concept. I think this rewind mechanic was very cool and I loved the visual changes. I think if the controls and hit boxes were tightened up to be more responsive, this game would be fantastic and is definitely worth expanding on even more. great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Very cool idea. I enjoyed playing it :) There were some hard parts but I Managed.

Submitted

A well executed take on a solid idea!

Quite difficult - I didn’t make it past the “baseball” level - but that’s understandable, it’s especially hard to get balance right in the short time limit of a jam.

As already pointed out in other comments, the two top things that I’d like to see adjusted is tweaking the punch / ghost hitboxes and adding a button to speed up time while waiting :)

Thanks so much for the review! Definitely things we keep in mind for future updates, glad you liked the game :)

I had a lot of fun playing it, good job!

I like how changing ages also changes the look of the cars! 

Developer

Thanks!

Guys... just BEAUTIFUL!
It's the 3rd game I play on the jam about Elder/MiddleAge/Baby and the 3rd I play about Alzheimer (good thing I still remember that!) But yours is BY FAR the BEST! Love the level design. Love the pixelart style graphics, and love the music.
It's kind of sad knowing he will eventually forget everything.
Congratulations Hernán and Gabriel for making such a beautiful jewel.

Omg, thank you so much for the comment! We are delighted you enjoyed our game and those words really mean A LOT! 

Thanks again for playing and leaving that wonderful  and touching comment, you made my day :D

Submitted(+1)

You're welcome. Your effort deserves it!

Submitted

really enjoyed playing this game, i liked how each age had different abilities that allowed you to get past the various obstacles. I think the concept of the game was really cool and well done, i have seen a few other games with a similar concept but this one was by far my favourite to play out of all of them, great job :)

Developer

Thank you so much!! We really appreciate it :D

Submitted

This is a really cool game. I was thinking about a concept similar to this but I wasn't sure how well I could implement it. You implemented it really well and it was fun playing through the levels. I wasn't a fan of the longer levels toward the end though because I knew what I had to do but I kept dying because I wasn't quick enough. Great game overall! Also, check out my game if you get a chance.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, as it only has 9 levels and the tutorial, difficulty can be a bit messed up at some points. We'lll work on that, thanks again!

I'll definitely check out your game later in the day :)

Submitted

It's an interesting idea because not only do the character's abilites change but also the environment whenever a "time switch" occurs. Since the challenge is focused on getting to the coins fast enough so you can switch to the correct "time state" (with light puzzle elements here and there), you could add a button that would let the player speed up the time flow, as i think it could avoid a lot of waiting without influencing the game/level design much. Overall, out of the "different abilities" games in this jam I've played so far, I would say this was the best one. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much! The fast forward button is the first thing on our to do list, so it will come with the next update. Thanks again for the kind words :)
