I think there should have been more focus on the jump controls, I have no idea if it was a byproduct of adding forces or a design decision but the double jump seems like its dependent on 'thrust' so you go much higher if you quickly double press than you go trying to time it for the top of your jump. I also did the second jump of the tutorial level first time and now I just can't seem to clear the distance anymore.

The tutorials 'send back to start' mechanic is brutal, especially when you purposely make the player fall in when introducing the rewind mechanic. A bug I found is if you exit the game then go back in (I promise I didn't RQ :P) and try to avoid falling in the first time by using Q, the dialogue popup bugs you out and makes the rewind mechanic mess up before you can reach the collectable, at least it did for me.

Sorry if I seem negative, I just couldn't experience much of the game because of the above. I just kept dying and getting sent back to the start and I got frustrated seeing that I was making no progress.

That was tough, from level 5 it was so chaotic haha, you have to be sadistic to create an opening the size of the player then put TWO collectables in there! 

I really liked this take on the theme. I wish time limits had been slightly longer on later levels as you're competing against your former self, and my former self kept making mistakes and holding me up :P sound and art were good and everything went together nicely, good job!

One thing I didn't understand, if you're going to make me use the mouse to press retry then why not let me do the portal with the mouse as well? having to keep moving my right hand is probably my one negative thing to say on the game

Really liked the game, I've seen one other game so far that uses the rewind to kill enemies mechanic but you are the first person I've seen use the finite tape length as part of the game.

I wish I could offer more feedback but I think you've executed this idea well and I really can't think of anything, good job!

This game has reminded me of why I never play bullethells, I am so bad at tracking things on the screen...

Really well made though even if its a genre I don't usually play. Sound effects are good, art style is perfect for the game and I really like how you've decided to implement the rewind.

For me, I would have preferred a lower res so I could see everything better as I'm getting blind in my older years but that's about the only negatives words I have to say.

I really liked the art despite it not being what I'd consider 'beautiful artwork', it reminded me of when I was a kid playing flash games during Computer class.

The weapons need more work, like someone said before, I didn't really have much reason to use 1 and 2 as it was lower DPS and they didn't offer an interesting 'fun factor' to compensate for that.

the colliders seemed inconsistent, I could move through some things I didn't think I'd be able to and get stuck on others which made planning my path really confusing. I also think that collidable terrain in these types of games should be placed in such a way that allows the player to still travel around it 360 degrees as I got stuck a couple of times in a 'tunnel' area with enemies on top of my only way out.

It was a fun little game that's rough around the edges, just needs some polish and small improvements.

Firstly, congrats on getting your first game done and completing it within a game jam deadline! 

There isn't anything revolutionary here but what you have done, you have done pretty well. The gameplay was smooth and bug free, the game goals were clear with easy instructions and I enjoyed the fact that I could 'constrict' enemies like a snake to make them destroy each other which isn't something I see implemented very often.

There is room for further implementation to deepen the gameplay but you can be proud with what you've achieved in a short time.

Man this game is frustrating, when you have no choice but to use up your bar then you may as well just restart because there's no way you're not getting hit 2-3 times while locked in one position. 

If it were me then I wouldn't penalise the player for using the games mechanics by running the bar out because they wanted to aim when the punishment is so damning. 

You've made a game that requires hypermobility but made that very difficult to manage, I'm not sure if this was a design decision or not as I know some people like games that cause you to tear your hair out and mald.

I am not a fan of punishing games like that but just because I don't like it doesn't mean its bad. 

The pickups are cool, graphics are as good as they need to be for the type of game, the mechanics themselves are well implemented and the game feels completely bug free. 

Its a solid game that I'm sure most sadists will enjoy.

Not bad but something about the controls felt 'off', I was flying off of ledges when I feel like I should not have been. Level 2 was incredibly frustrating because the enemy on the ramp would constantly shoot me the moment I reached his platform and there didn't seem to be anything I could do about it apart from pray that RNG lets me kill them before they shoot a projectile.

Alas I persevered and saw the word rotted. 

I think my two main recommendations would be adjusting the players controls a bit and using a cinemachine camera and tweak the settings for some look ahead etc

Art was good, music fit the game and overall a solid effort.

The procedural generation could use a bit of work, I got a couple of levels that I just couldn't seem to reach the portal .

The range weapon has such a long visual cast but basically required me to stand on top of enemies which was a bit strange.

Also, I couldn't figure out why on some runs I would get 200 on my blue bar and others I would get 100 even though it was the same level, what was the deciding factor for that?

Fair decent game with good artwork that just needs some fine tuning to make the overall experience more enjoyable.

The hitboxes on the enemies definitely need to be made bigger. Between my shuriken/knife having drop off, the enemies hitboxes being so tiny and the tiny enemy type being irritably fast moving, I couldn't hit a damn thing! 

In the end I did the opposite of what the game intended and sprinted past every enemy and went straight to the dimensional portal. The potential is there and I liked the superhot mechanic but I need to be able to hit things to properly enjoy it lol

I liked the overall 2020 theme you've gone for but the game was a bit confusing for me. The game had me bouncing my head off bad things and the whole time I was wondering 'am I winning?' lol.

Then on the next stage I'm running into people without a power-up and it looks like blood is spraying as they are destroyed so I have no idea if im the hero or the villain here!

The bad balls travel wayyyy too fast and seem to collide much earlier than the camera view would suggest, I've not managed to dodge one yet which is a bit disheartening.

The good collectables are also very unpredictable, I was just about to collect 'Hope' and then it immediately jumped to the other side of the screen leaving me no time to redirect my player and still get it.

I'd like to see faster gameplay, more 'predictable' behaviour patterns from the good collectables and either a better camera angle or smaller hitbox from the bad collectables.
