Nice concept and gameplay, puzzles made total sense! But like lisyarus mentioned before, an indication of the object rewinding will definitely help. In my experience, I thought the gun wasn't working because the rewind wasn't instant. But I'm not suggesting to make it instant, I think the way it is now is important if puzzle required the player to change positions, like the last level.
Other than that, the gameplay loop is complete, it would be easy to make improvements and additions, so good job!

Thank you for played the game. Well, I think my first plan is make the rewind instant but I couldn't find solutions to make it works then changed it like the way it is now. I am glad to managed the mechanics work although it was still flawed. Really thanks for the feedback :D

Don't want to repeat what others have said. I like it though. Just clean up some of those things and I think you have something to build upon if you so decide to move forward with this project. Great job!

Thank you very much for played the game. I will try to move forward with this project. I am glad you liked it :D

Need more coffee. I see it now. Sorry. Thanks for rating me again and keep working on the project. I would like to see how that turns out!

Interesting idea and really good game design! The levels were so creative, it would be nice if there were more. Also, I noticed a little bug, when the player and an object are both on the same button, if the player leaves, the door closes even when the object is still on it; maybe you are making the button unpressed when a collider stops triggering with it without making sure that other objects could be colliding at the same time? Anyways, except of that and the lack of levels, really good and polished game, one of the most enjoyable games in the jam! Good job^^

Thank you for played the game. I spend so much time in game mechanics and the art then forgot to made the level design, so I made the whole level in the last day. I will try adding new level in the update. And thanks for mentioning the bug I will fix the trigger mechanic. 

Really thanks for the feedbacks. I am glad you enjoyed the game :D

A very nice game! A few suggestions:

  • As others have already said, some indication that an object is being rewinded would be nice. Right now the player has to spam with the rewind gun & hope he didn’t miss
  • A way to restart the current level - I got trapped several times & had to restart the whole game
  • The font in the starting menu is too blurry. Given that it is clearly an upscaled small-sized font that is meant to look pixelated, it probably shouldn’t be blurred

Nonetheless, good job!

Developer(+1)

First, thank you for played the game. I am really sorry for restart, I already added it. I forgot to mention you can press "R" to restart the current level, that was my mistake. And for the menu screen thanks for pointing that, I didn't notice it was blurry. I will try fix it in the update. 

Really thanks for the feedback :D

Submitted

Love the idea!! And the art too!

I agree with others, it would have been nice to have something that tells the player when an object is being rewinded, apart from the SFX.

Level design and puzzles were good too! I had fun playing. Congrats!

A Great Puzzle game ! Well done !

Really cool concept, and quite unique too! The only real problem I had, was being caught in the walls sometimes, but I think thats an easy fix after the jam :) Great entry!

Developer

Thank you for played, glad you liked it :D

Fun game! I really liked the mechanic of shooting to rewind, though it took me a little while to figure that out. I like the art-style as well, great job!

Developer

Thank for played the game. Well I am agree It is hard to see when the object is rewinding. I will make an update after the vote jam. Thanks for the feedback :D

Submitted

Nice game! It’s fairly fun and I really like the aesthetics

Developer

Thanks a lot :D

At first I felt frustrated at the beginning of the game, but then when I got the hang of it oh boy did I have fun! There is definitely room for improvement, as mentioned by other comments, but I think you did a marvellous job!

Developer

Thank you very much! I am glad you enjoyed the game :D

Submitted

Nice idea! I like the mechanics and the graphics. I think it would really help to add a "time" bar on each object, because when I shoot the objects sometimes I can't tell if anything is happening to it or not. I would've also added some sort of tutorial level.

Developer

Thank you fo played the game! Yeah I am tried add something to see it was rewinding but I lacked of time. Tutorial level was really good for people to understand the game. My bad didn't add to the game. I am glad you liked the other things on the game :D

Submitted

Very good game! I love the idea. The graphics also seem cute to me!

Nice job and congratulations!

Developer

Thanks :D

Very nice little game. I completed all the levels, and I have some notes for you. First, the music is not looping (I think), but I don't know if it was intended. Second, it took some time to figure out controls. I didn't know I could jump with Spacebar (because I tried "W" first), and the same goes with "R" to restart the level. Maybe some control manual or tutorial level would be great. Additionally, sometimes the boxes/ball didn't go back in time, even though I shot it. And lastly, try to compress the download file into a .zip file, because not everybody has .rar (just a recommendation).

But overall interesting game and fun mechanic. Graphics were good, given the short period of time we had. Would be interesting to see a bigger game with this concept :) Well done! Rated!

Thanks for played. I added the music in last 15 minutes before submisson end so I didn't test the music in game (my bad).  I am not adding a little tutorial in game, glad  you managed to figured out the control and completed the game. And the rewind things I want to added little effect to figured is rewinding but due to time I couln't make it. Thats why some object shot not rewinding actually rewinding. 

Really thanks for the feedback I will make the post jam version of the game. it was fun and stressful in 1 week game :D

Submitted

Yeah, it is stressful, but also fun, right? May I ask, is it your first game jam?

Developer(+1)

No, this is my second jam. But it more challanged and fun  than my first one because of the rewind theme and shorter time.
