Really nice game, the mechanics are nice and the execution is smooth, but the rewind mechanic could be more used in some other things and the dash could be available a bit faster, just to add a bit of dynamism to the game. Good job!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
My game is based on a character that can rewind the time in order to survive some obstacles with a great Ending "multiple ending"
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
i wrote all the codes my self and drew all the assets too , only the music but i have the right to use it !!

Wow, Great game, really like the music, art style and that unexpected ending.
In the tutorial says you move whit Q and D, it also happen to us.

Back in LabNice controls and implementation of the rewind. The cooldown i though was nice because it gave some weight to your experience. As in you could rewind your mistakes but it wasn't a free pass. At first i thought the levels were too long but with the rewind and cooldown I can see that it further adds to the tension of not wanting to waste your rewinds. Nice work!

ForkExcellent game with a fantastically atmospheric take on the theme with interesting mechanics that give you a degree of safety yet the difficulty is balanced towards that. An overall well polished and executed entry!

Something is wrong.Excellent game, Only thing I would suggest is to not have cooldown on dash(but allow only one dash after each jump) it adds time when the player is standing there doing nothing waiting for cooldown to be over. Other than that nice graphics, good controls, great concept as well. Thumbs up!

BIT NINJAA hidden gem among the submissions!
Overall movement can be improved but I gotta say, the dash and rewind mechanics are satisfying to use. I love the atmosphere as well as the aesthetic, I was really sold on dream setting. Thank you for working on this and great job!

Batteries Not IncludedGreat game! I love the animations and the pixel art in general is really well done. also the sound effects are great, the only thing, I think I could kill the spider... hehe.
Good work!

MISSION: CASSETTEReally awesome game! It's incredible how well made this is for having been made in a week. Congratulations!
I accidentally failed to see the part where they teach you how to dash and spent some time pressing all keys to find out it was with shift. A shame, and when I reloaded the game it had saved the fact that I was already taught how to dash. My bad of course, it would have been nice to see it on some controls screen or on the game's page though.
I absolutely loved the music and the art. You did a great job at both of them and at making them fit the theme you were going for.
The death counter was a nice touch since it was a hard game, and the levels were short but memorable so that I didn't get frustrated and really enjoyed my experience. Also loved the 1 second window to avoid death, really cool and useful. You made a really good job with that level design. I did think the blue sci-fi style hover board on one of the levels maybe didn't fit the colors too well.
The dash mechanic was great! Felt really good to push enemies off platforms. Its cooldown could've been a little bit smaller, since at some points you are just waiting for that and nothing else. The game teaches you the dash is your only weapon and I thought I could handle the spider and died. Really nice enemy variations though, kept the game fun and interesting. I think I could hear zombie noises even when I had already pushed them off of platforms though.
Another comment is that in the first section the UI text and speech bubble collide with the menu and don't let you click the buttons. Also the speech bubble was a little too big.
Overall awesome game, great idea and execution! Loved it!

Retro WarriorVery well made game. The level design and mechanics fit well together. Maybe a parallax effect on the background could be cool.

Last Second Cleaning CompanyFun gameplay! I really enjoyed pushing those zombies off the platforms, haha!

Rewind RaceGreat, and I mean GREAT, the wait for rewind and dash etc.. was very long, I also didn't realize that they had a cooldown, you shoulda put it in the starting tutorial thing, I would love to see some more development on this!

Back In My DaysGreat game! Love how the rewind works and interacted with the moving platforms. Only suggestion would be to make the cooldowns a bit shorter.

REWIND Videoits a fun game with some neat mechanics and good tutorial teaching. I think I had the most issue with the dash not being fully recharge before i needed to do another dash jump but overall great job.
