I’m a sucker for time-bending mechanics so I liked this one. There are issues with collisions though (I could at times walk through walls). The “BOO” feature was a great design choice too! Nice game! :)
Absolutely collision issues were my biggest problem. Literally used a janky left/right/top/bottom wall system so you can see what happens from that lol. Thanks for playing!
I really enjoy the game. Cool mechanic but i cant kill the boss :( . Great job!!
Well I'm glad you enjoyed it even though you couldn't finish, sorry about that! If I had had more time I would have made it more obvious...
To kill him you have to rewind into his bullets to convert them into friendly bullets, and then after 2s they will shoot away from you, so after rewinding into them you aim them at the boss to hurt him. Definitely far from intuitive!
Cool little mechanic. It felt a lot better once I realized I could kill the enemies :D
Yeah I always seem to need to work on my tutorial skills in games, glad you figured it out though!
Great entry! Very interesting mechanics with creatice way of using your rewind to avoid or to attack. I also love how you need to BOO on lanterns to make a checkpoint:D (also very good you made those because game wasn't easy;))
Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed it! The checkpoints definitely made this one playable, as someone who usually makes jam projects too hard lol.
Very fun game and great aesthetics! It took me a while to figure out how to get a couple of the waxes (particularly the boss fight), but it was satisfying once I got to the end. The only issue I had was that I got stuck in a block at one point, so there might be some collision issues. Great job overall though!
I'm glad you were able to figure everything out and enjoy it! There are absolutely some collision issues I used a very botched rightwall/leftwall/topwall/bottom wall system for times sake that broke exterior corners lol.
I'll level with you this was WAY more fun than i expected, I'm not usually one for this style of game but as soon as I rewound *through* an enemy to kill them, I was having fun. The mechanics feel SO good and getting to yell BOO to kill something is a treat. Over all this is an absolute blast of a game, and I'm thrilled I played it.
I'm really happy to hear that I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! I almost considered cutting BOO killing guys but decided it was really neat and if anyone wanted use it that it was perfectly valid, so I'm glad I did!
Good ideas here, I liked the dual purpose of pressing space; to rewinding away from the enemies then to kill them. 👍
Thanks for playing I'm glad you thought they were good ideas! I really hoped it would be intuitive enough that people would figure it out without explicit instructions. I really need to go play your game it looks really cool from what you posted!
Loved the gameplay it was really fun and well done, clever boss too
Thanks for the feedback I'm glad you enjoyed it! I also love your art so much in your game like I need to go leave a rating lol.
Really enjoyed, the boss was fun and nicely designed
I'm glad to hear it thanks for playing! I'm really happy with how the boss turned out considering he was almost cut content lol.
Good game! I especially liked the boss!
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked the boss, he was definitely one of the funnest parts to work on!
Couldn't figure out everything but it was fun.
Well thanks for trying it, sorry you couldn't figure everything out! That is a very weird looking fish though...
The rewind mechanic is a pretty fun Overall a good game.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think I finally avoided overscoping for once lol.
Liked this a lot, it has a very cool time rewind mechanic and the boss fight was fun. I only wish there were more puzzles that would thake advantage of the rewind.
You and me both! I had planned on having a few more puzzles but the good old time limit krept up on me. Thanks for playing!
this game is soo cool, i really lioke this atmosphere and game mechanics. Good job
Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really wanted to get some polish on the atmosphere in this one and not overscope lol.
This is pretty well made! good job!
Thanks Pookie!!!
