In what way does your game fit the theme?
Shooting makes enemies rewind in time, while freezing your bullets in time!

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I've coded everything (following a lot of your tutorials xD) , and all assets are basic Unity shapes :)

It's a fun and original game and even tho the graphics are simple, it looks great. I just have two issues/suggestions:
-The character doesn't look at the cursor at all time, for some reason there's an offset that makes it pretty hard to aim, about 45 degrees from the cursor I think.
-It's a pretty cool idea to rewind time a little by shooting even if u don't hold the mouse button but the screen effect showing up each time you shoot made me feel a little dizzy, maybe have the screen effect come up only if u hold the button for a second or two instead of as soon as you click.

Keep up the good work :->

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback!! you are right, the game is bugged if you play it with mouse. If you can, try it with a gamepad, you'll enjoy it more!

I didn't think of activating the screen effect after holding shoot some time, and now it seems so obvious🤦‍♂️🤣

I had the same problem with rotation in one of my games and I remember the problem was the object (it was a UI image) that was rotating and reacting to cursor had a parent that would sometimes rotate as well so it caused some issues. Not sure if it's the same problem in your case tho.
Yeah it always happens :D It's still great for a game made in such a short time.

Developer

I will take a look at it! Thanks!!🙌🙌

Great original concept! I loved but the gameplay feels weird, when camera moves sometimes the aiming gets bugged(maybe because I am playing with the mouse) but even so it could be better. Anyway the idea is amazing, very chaotic( I like that way) and colorful. Those kind of games that, if you add a timer, more content, and adjust a few things, it could easily be a good mobile game(maybe evena pc game) I would play again!

You  did a great job, just a few flaws but nothing that big. Nice work mate!

Try it out my game too!

Developer

I enjoy so much you liked it! If you can, try it with a gamepad! It's not bugged and you'll enjoy it even more!

Yeah I would loved to playtest more, and the game needs its final polishment. (see at what time I submitted 🤣🤣)

Seems like a very interesting idea. It just didn't make too much sense to me as it felt not balanced and slightly broken on some concepts. I did like the concepts present, but possibly making it simpler and explaining it better may help. Some great visuals and ideas in a week though!

Cool mechanics! Though I didn't really get past level one, you did say to use a gamepad but I don't have one on me :/

Try fixing the player rotation a little, it's a bit buggy. And it crashed when I pressed quit :^(

Hope you had fun making this! ^^

interesting take on the theme, it seemed pretty tough to me though maybe I was just terrible haha :) I did end up using a gamepad and the input seemed more natural on that :) Good job overall :)

Really interesting game and rewind mechanic. After some time I realize my rewinds were causing the enemies to spawn so I tried to time it properly.

The camera angle was a little odd as the input, but I didn't used a gamepad as it was recommended.

If you can play my game and leave some feedback I would be very gratefull

cool game the rewind feature is unique and i like the art style well done

I got stuck on the tutorial level where it says "explode me to continue"...I kept shooting that cube for about 3 minutes and nothing happened, also shot the other bomb cubes around it, they exploded but the "explode me to continue" cube stands still. 

I like the overall feel of the game, but what should I do to continue? ? 

Developer

yeah you are doing right. Try to shoot/charge even more bullets with one “launch”. It works like bombs, with the same shots I think.

Developer

I just realized what happens: try to hold the shooting button being not too close to the yellow button; this way you can spawn projectiles that are frozen in time. Hold until you empty the whole energy ring and you will explode the button. Other items don’t cooldown when you are rewinding, now I realize buttons have this bug.

Really cool game! I loved playing it! Style in Art and Music is awesome and Fun is high! 

Could you rate my game too?

Submitted(+1)

great take on the theme and love the art. my only problem is the joy stick is more accurate than the mouse which happnes when the camera tilts aside from that well done.

Submitted(+1)

I felt the game played GREAT! My only concern was that I felt the use "Rewind" theme did this more harm than good. I mean I felt I would enjoy it more if the rewind was utilized in some other way and I could shoot the enemies in the standard way! Could be just me though, the game was really awesome visually given the time and everything being basic shapes!

¡Muy bueno, gran trabajo! Un saludo.

Developer

Muchas gracias! Me alegro de que te haya gustado!! :)

Nice game, but the mouse rotation is buggy

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yes! Couldn't fix it. That's why I say "gamepad highly recommended" 😅 Also I had to hide the WebGL version due to lighting problems 😥

Nice

Fun, satisfying combat. Yeah I like it

Thanks! I'm very happy you'd enjoyed it!

I really like what you did with the graphics and the camera shake/particle effects; it really brought the game to life! My only suggestion is that there might have been a bit too much shake for every shot, maybe only do it when you charge shots or explode the bombs?

Developer

Sure! If I had more playtesting time... 🙈
