How does your game fit the theme?
- Time is health, and going back can be exploited for strategic advantage; inspired by Groundhog Day - Everything can loop from one side of the level to the other; inspired by Asteroids and other retro games - Spells can be combined in a circular and fluid motion, and spells can be creatively combined for crazy effects. The spellbook idea is inspired by the Tinian Codex from Star Wars. -Players loop back to the prison to rescue their fellow Time Witches

Cool idea! I like how time is health and that you have to avoid time-looping too much. Art style was also very cute!

Amazing I love how cute all the cardboard animals are, great job!

Good to hear. What was your favorite AND least favorite thing about the game? did you complete the game?

I love the gestural element of lassoing the animals, it felt like an old DS game. I'm not sure if the capture mini game is necessary or if it gets in the way of the core loop. Unfortunately I haven't finished any game completely (except for the extremely short one level ones), but I might come back to this one!

all the core mechanics are there--visuals, audio, and idea smash it out of the park.  i think there are some small changes that might improve the clarity (screen shake was a bit intense, the push back on the player from firing might have been too high, couldn't exactly tell what the spells were doing).  i love the idea of the rotating spell wheel, and using time as a health reserve was an awesome mechanic.  crazy that yall got this done in the time period, very impressed!

I appreciate the feedback!

I love casting spells.

My favorite part of the game was the game feel and the time mechanic! My least favorite part of the game was the spell system, because I got annoyed when I couldn't shoot directly forward. I saved my friends though!

i appreciate the feedback. I was glad that the jam let me try the spell system that I wanted to make. I agree that in practice it is cumbersome, but at least we tried.

Also I believe you are the first to notice the inspiration for the story lol
