Really nice presentation and overall aesthetic, with a great starting intro. Though the pacing overall is on the nice side the enemies can feel a bit uneven.
-Favorite part is the tangible progress felt by gaining each orb that lets you reach new areas/orbs to continue forward, alongside beam/weapon upgrades. Pulling yourself back to base doubling as a way to recover health likely lost from that journey was also real nice.
-I'd have liked the enemy 'spawn rate' to be more consistent, like based on orbs collected so far, etc. They felt a bit random and separate to your progression.

What an awesome game! It has the whole package,great theme implementation, amazing graphics, perfect soundtrack. I can't fault it. What you made in a week is outstanding!

Amazing game! Never would have thought it was made in just one week because it felt so good to play. Great concept and great execution!

What to say? This game is absolutely fantastic! I mean, the art, the sound design, the mechanic, the progression.. Everything is so well done! I can’t believe you did that much in just a week. This is a definitely a game that could be expanded to a full commercial game. Because of the simple controls, it could even be a mobile game. I played with an xbox one controller and it felt amazing, thank you for supporting gamepads!

I think your game perfectly fits the theme. It’s a very great take on the theme, that doesn’t feel like a chore. Quite the opposite actually, you’re pretty excited to come back to get some upgrades. Having the ability to hold b to go back to base is amazing.

Few things I would improve:

• A mini tutorial would be great. Maybe I’m just dumb but I had a hard time figuring out that the beam couldn’t cross platforms.. And the ‘how to play’ was too much text and not interactive.
• Less enemies at first. I felt a bit overwhelmed with the number of enemies at the beginning. As I was trying to figure out the mechanics, I could focus on killing the enemy. Especially at the beginning where your gun is not so powerful.

At the beginning I nearly quit, as I was not feeling like I was going to progress. I’m glad I continued as it was very satisfying to reach the end.

This is the best game I’ve played during this jam. Really well done. I hope you’ll consider turning this into a full game!

PS: Small bug at the end, the cinematic started but the game was still running in the background so I was hearing the “teleport back” sound over and over.

Really great game! I did encounter a bug where I broke a rock open that dropped a node, but I didn't pick it up before I died. The node vanished and I ended up not having enough for the end.

The game was very relaxing and engaging though, so I played through again! I had a blast and even got the true ending.

I have only positive things to say about the game jam entry. Great work!

Fantastic game, from the simple character to the stunning cutscene art, loved the beam mechanic... Best game of the Jam I've played yet. 

Art and premise of the game was great! Enemies came at a good pace enough to feel like a constant threat, but not too many as to feel overwhelming.

One thing I think would have improved the onboarding a little is to have the player play the game a little before getting them to head back to the lab for upgrades, but overall I had a bunch of fun.

Nice work!

amazing!!

Great game! Perfect intro to the storey, music, sound and atmosphere. Game play art is a nice pixel style and good colour palette. It was a little tough for me to get far but that is due to my lack of skill in gaming. I love the beam limitation and coincidentally is very similar to my game and would love to have your feedback.

This is one of the best games I’ve played in the jam. I have Firefox, so no sound for me :( but I’m willing to bet that it’s great. The controls are awesome, the difficulty is just right, the objective and themes are clear. The only nitpick I have is that I didn’t initially know what nodes did, but I probably wasn’t paying attention to the controls page lol. This is fantastic in every way!

Love the game, totally adictive for me. Amazing that you achive this in one week! the mechanis is really clever, love the pixel art and all the aesthetics.

My favorite so far! 

could you check out my Jam submission? i'll really appreciate it. Thanks!

One of the best games in the jam, great colors, really nice art and well polished, really enjoyed it, played till the end. Only thing missing is the sound

To do this in one week must've been a real challenge, great work! the art and the colors come together in a perfect way, the idea beeing able to rewind your way back to the core it's a nice mechanic, which gives it a unique game feel and the story seems pretty nice.

Consider checking out my game if you find the time :D

This is an extremely well polished game for the time frame. Great way to introduce the game mechanics in the beginning. Juggling the enemies while trying to place the nodes was hard at times but it felt so satisfying to finish.

It is an EPIC game. The idea is very good as well as the execution.

I found a bug, if you enter the lab when you are still pressing "r", the player gets stuck at the portal, and if you fire you can get off there but you have still the rewind animation.

The best game I have seen so far.

What an insane game to make in a week! Reaalllyyy amazed!!!

Nice and well polished! Good job. I found it a little overwhelming at first but I got the hand of it.

Really amazing game!! It fits the theme very very well, it's super moody and well executed, perfect idea and execution, well done!!
