Seen the concept pretty often by now, however the execution on this one is pretty nice. The polish on the menu is really great. The idea to let the player choose the new keys is pretty great. The controls are a bit weird, but I guess one would get used to them after playing for a while.

This is a nice concept but it's a bit hard to see what direction your threads are pointing. (You can also loose keys twice if you simply don't replace them)

Okay.   SO MUCH BRAIN HURT!    Brilliant game and concept.   small but very polished world and decent level of  challenge.    The real pain was managing the steering, turret, shooting and changing it around regularly.   by the time the third key changed it was hopeless lol!   Would love to place this arena style 4v4 or something like that.    Would be hilarious and beautiful :D

Kinda handful to have all the buttons to use :D. Idea is cool and art was appealing. Took bit time to really experience it :)

I thought the game was really generic until I realized you could rebind keys in the middle of the game, lol.

The presentation is awesome and I really enjoyed the challenging of rebinding keys, because different keys means you never get used to your control scheme, so the game always keeps you on your toes. I'm not sure what the purpose of the Q/E key is though because I never found new guns to switch into.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

About the Q/E thing, we were gonna have more enemies and guns, but we didn't have time to finish those, so we just disabled it, but since that was done in the last hour or so, we forgot to remove the command from the menu --'

At first the control scheme felt really difficult to get used to, and I never entirely got the hang of it, but as I started losing keys I quickly understood why they were the way they are. 

I definitely like the art of it, and both the graphics and the music were very polished!

One minor thing I did encounter was that at one point, I was told I lost a key which I had already lost earlier. In a more complete game I imagine the game would avoid redundancies like this. I also felt like enemies were a bit too rare, and I often had to really go searching for one.

Overall though, definitely a very solid entry!

I'm really bad at these type of games, but, it was fun to play.

This game was very interesting. It wasn't until I started losing keys that I fully understood the game, being forced to randomly lose keys puts you in a terrible situation which makes the game all so great! The art and music were incredible as well, and created a perfect blend of an atmosphere. The SFX also had a really nice impact on the game. The movement and game in general felt super smooth, so it was a great experience overall!

Haha I also made a game called Rebind! This game is pretty fun, although the controls are a bit confusing to learn at first. The visuals are great, and the music and sfx are top notch too. Overall a great game!!!

it started out felling kinda generic until i lost my w key, it's a cool machaic and i think maybe you should have focused on that instead of the rebinding part since the game felt really clunky.

 it's very pretty though

Your presentation is good and the mechanics are pretty original, but they just don't turn out to be that enjoyable (having to switch keys being the main gameplay loop) Had a bit of trouble finding enough enemies and actually killing them. good sprite, ui, and modelling work though. Would appreciate if you checked out my submission :)
