Ranked from 23 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have rewind the spring of the clock over and over again in order to keep the universe alive. (Maybe bit far fetched)

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything else but audio effects were generated with bfxr and font was with open font license.

Man, this is super cool!

Could you rate my game too? please..

This is one of those simple but effective game ideas that make you go "why didn't I think of that"
The speedy-boi that steals your key was a great enemy type.

I hope you will keep working on this game, I think it has potential.

Developer

I'll try to finish the game someday. Currently don't have much free time so It'll probably be a month or two before I can get any actual work done on it

Original take on the theme, really enjoyed it. Overall a really cool game!

Submitted

I only thought this game was ok, but then the enemy went and stole the key! That was a really good and surprising moment. Great game!

Submitted

Was completely surprised when the enemy stole the key, it makes the game really fun. However when I pressed R to restart it gave me an error :(.

Submitted

Fun and simple game :) The key stealing mechanic creates a really nice dynamic, even more so when the steal it from you while you trying to bring the key back.

Hey man nice job on the solo jam! Loved the soundscape and the ominous feel of it, and the dude stealing the winding pin is a nice fun touch.

Keep it up and I hope your next jam is even greater!

Ah and just had an issue where I died and did not respawn and I had to restart.

I got a fatal bug! a array out of index ;C dont know why, the game is great, I liked it but It was really hard for me to keep playing the game is hard mah boi!! hahah Cheers!!

Yeah, the game did not like that I exported to html. I have to leave more time next time at the end to fix things like this.

Fun game. Didn't expect the enemy to take my winder! Controls and camera movement was smooth. Be cool if the enemies could drop gears  that could slow the clock speed or pause the timer for a bit. 

Developer

I chose the name time dilation because I wanted to the time to slow down as the bar on the right depleted and the enemies to drop some sort of powerups, well I didn't have enough time to implement those... I wish I had more free time during this jam. Better luck next time I guess.

Submitted

Well done! I particularly liked chasing the ones that steal the key, great fun. Congrats on your first solo jam!

Submitted

I liked the game and the movement felt responsive but I would recommend an incentive to not constantly camp near the clock so you can always rewind. There would be a lot of ways to implement this but one way would be to create a powerup system where you can collect powerups but they spawn away from the clock.

Developer

Powerups were on the list of features I wanted to add but I didn't have enough free time to work on the project during the jam. I might complete this game later.

Submitted

Enjoyed the mechanics of the game. Nice Job! Enjoyed the theme and color scheme. Keep it up!

I'd love to hear your input on my submission, I'm going to be continuing it after the jam so and criticisms / suggestions / feedback are welcome!

This is fantastic, I love how the enemies just take the key and run away. I personally think the game is really well designed. 

Submitted

hello , this is good for a first solo gamajam i really liked the idea but you could add like a score or something when ever you kill an enemy or how far you got in the game to keep track . i think you should continue on this game it could be something great.  i made my first game too for this gamejam it will be great if you check it and give me feedback :D 

Developer

Score was on the list of features I wanted to add but sadly I didn't have enough time to add it. I'll check out your game when I'm on my window pc (currently on Mac)
