The music and look of the game is nice. Like the below comment it took a while to figure out what to do so maybe some pointers would be nice :)

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have a device called "rewinder 800x" that lets you rewind time to fix things in the future.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made everything in the game, from scratch.

Interesting game. It took me awhile to figure out what i was doing. Audio is apropos to your game. Good selection.
Please rate and play my game too: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/723414
I really love the graphics and the sounds and also the idea of having a kind of sandbox puzzle game, it's really impressive what you pulled off in one week, but there are a couple of things that hold it back, I think:
1. You don't explain almost anything. You don't tell the player that he found the agent, and such.
2. I don't think there is enough telegraphing. It is frustrating to do all of the busy work again just because you couldn't guess that acid would come out or something like that. If you could show the player what the threat is and give him a chance to fight it the first time, I think it would be a bit nicer.
Also, you can remind with some kind of sound effect the player when the agent is going go off screen and stuff like that.
3. Not enough checkpoints. I found myself redoing the same stuff over and over again because I didn't see any 5-G thingy, and it was a bit frustrating.
4. Rewinding isn't actually a part of the gameplay. I might have missed something but from what I understood rewinding acts just like a checkpoint.
5. The player and npc sprites don't turn around when they walk the other way. It might be intentional but it feels a bit weird.
6. I found a bug that let you walk over some of the buildings. Nothing major, but still a small bug.
Don't want to sound negative though, this is a really good game! Please make a post jam version!
Love the cute graphics and music! Interesting story as well! Great submission. Please check out my submission if you have the time too!
I died and i killed the agent so many times, i'm sucks with this game hahaha! but i like your game i'm just to noob i think :)
Very smooth experience really enjoyed your game! and also background sound is perfectly fit in your game type great sound selection.
This is a pretty fun game, the plot was amusing. There seemed to be a couple small glitches and visual issues that popped up, but nothing major so good job!
I love it! This guy is so committed to his job he has to push someone in front of a car to save the agent lol. I have to admit, it took me longer than it should have to figure out the acid part. One thing, I think you forgot a collider on the gun store on the left side of the starting street because I just walked right over the building.
The concept is unique, was fun playing the game for a bit :)
Was a bit confused on how to pass the car stage at first. I tried rewinding the car xD
As for the theme, I don't feel like the game is centered around rewind since you can't really rewind anything from what I understood, only checkpoints make you back to a point in time.
I'd appreciate you playing my game and rating it as well :)
Great art and music , the puzzle parts are great . i had fun playing it
Pretty good game! I had some trouble figuring out to do, but I liked the concept, and it looks really nice!
Addictive game with really nice pixel art and unique sound design
(loved the 5G meme too)
