Pros:

  • Audio was great! i laughed at the voice work, but in a good way, it immediately got me in the spirit to play the game!
  • Graphics were great (well i liked them; i thought they fit well with the aesthetic of the movies and took me back to the arcade game style look of the games that were out at the time of the movies) (which i assumed is what you were going for?)

Things to improve on:

  • Marty felt a bit slidey/slippery. I've played a few of these types of games today (dodge upcoming obstacles/move to collect items that fly towards you) and this seems to be the common problem with the controls in all the games I've played. I felt as soon as I pressed back that it almost guaranteed I would get hit by the car (which meant i never really pressed the back-button either, rather just tapped the forward button less).
  • I didn't really understand the purpose of the rewind mechanic; is the purpose to allow you to rewind to pick up things you missed? I feel like the main entertainment factor for games like this is testing reaction time to go up/down to collect/dodge things, and I didn't think the rewind ability enhanced that really, so i found myself not using it much.

But pretty cool overall! I really wanted to put dialogue in my game, but ran out of time, it definitely helped your game out! I'll try to fit it in if I do another jam :)

If you decide to review my game (which I'd very much appreciate, but don't feel obliged to by any means) then feel free to play the WebGL version (which i uploaded too late to be included) here: https://moocow17gmailcom.itch.io/rewind-bullethell-web-version  (I haven't changed a single thing compared to the official jam link, https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/724985, it's just uploaded in WebGL format; so feel free to  play this link and review on the other link to save you from having to download anything).
