Ranked from 166 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?
I have two features that include REWIND. One is the reversal of enemies of like colors and the second is actually turning time in REWIND for up to 5 seconds to help avoid enemies. (Some enemies are not effected on purpose)

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and assets are my own. I have uploaded 3 Audio files that I did not create myself

Great Game. It´s a cool idea to rewind the enemies you touch. I had a lot of fun and it really fit´s the theme. At first it was hard to see the whole window since it was larger than my display. The graphics are nice and the explosion particles look good.

Good Job!

Developer

Thanks unityplayer01!

I am glad that you liked it so much! I didn't toggle the resolution option on my last build and it got set to fixed. Will have an update version when the jam is over.

Thanks again for taking the time  to play and rate my game!

Amazing game, really enjoyed it! Love the concept and design. One thing to consider might be the controls, but other than that it's a great game and really fun to play

Developer

Thank you MarleyKristianto for taking the time to play and rate my game!

I am so happy that you found my game amazing and had a good time playing it. I am definitely making it a priority to have a setting for the controls so that the player can choose what feels good to them.

Thanks again!

I really enjoyed the game play of this one, it was very fun and I could totally see this as a hyper casual game I would play a lot. The only hang up for me is the controls were a little funky, tapping the left or right would barely move the player but if I held it down at all the player would slide really fast to one side or the other, if the controls were a little bit tighter, this game would be much better. Awesome idea, would love to see this one on mobile.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for coming back around to play and rate my game! I am also happy to find out that you enjoyed my game so much. 

I definitely will make those changes after the jam is over as a setting where you can choose the sensitivity. I also plan on going mobile with this as well.

Thanks again, and you could always follow me if you want to see  my updates. I will do the same.

This is a great idea!

Thanks MakovWait! I am glad that you enjoyed yourself! I appreciate the time you took to play and rate my game!

Fun little arcade game! I like the idea of the game . The graphics were cool. Music was contributed to the game nicely.

One very small minor thing that I noticed was that it was sometimes hard for me to precisely move to a location I wanted to go. The character was a little slippery in my opinion.

Regardless, the game was still very fun. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much FoorFootStudios!

I am ecstatic that you found my game fun and appealing. When the jam is over, that is one of the first things I will fix. A settings screen and have you decide how precise / slippery the controls are.

Thanks again for playing and rating my game!

Interesting! I like the melody too.

Developer

Thanks Haredo! Glad you liked my game!

I will try to play your game later in the day!

Very fun and challenging. I managed to make 350 points, my goal is to make 1000 kkkkkk.

The graphics and audio are also very cool.

Good submission.

Thanks mrhelmet!

I am sure you can do it! I hope you found the game fun as well!

Pretty graphics and fun music. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks reverz!

I appreciate the review! I hope you found the game fun as well.

I just noticed that your name is reverz.  

If I could give you 6 stars for theme, I would do so for including a name that also works with the theme! lol

Thanks again!

The first thing I noticed at least was that when I started the game, the window size was too long so I could not see the bottom of the screen and my character. That was fixed with Alt+Enter to enter full screen.

Apart from that, really fun game that forces the player to both dodge and trying to hit the same colored enemies to become smaller so you can get a higher score. 
Fitting chiptune music that doesn't get annoying (yet). 

Simple to understand and very fun!

Developer

Thanks FutureBob for taking the time to download and play my game.

I will definitely fix the resolution issue when the jam is over.

More importantly, I am super glad that you found my game very fun!

Hope to see you around in future jams!

Simple, entertaining and challenging, great game!

Developer

Thank you so much Josant! 

I am glad you enjoyed my game!

Fun and pretty tough :)

I would say the colors seem to change a bit sporadically leading to some frustrating changes as I line up a same color haha :) Also those two shades of purple are hard to distinguish for my old eyes ;)

Other than that super fun and challenging little game :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for the review PicusB! I have that on my backlog to fix the violet / purple colors as they are too close. As for the sporadic-ness (Coined a new word here), that was intentional to make the game a bit non monotonous. In the end it will always be random, so sometimes it changes slower and sometimes the colors repeat. No two game plays will be the same.

I plan on completing all the mini games and achievements and hope that will also add to and bring replayability to the game.

Thanks again for playing....and I loved your game too btw.

Submitted

I think it's more the fact that I was looking for a queue that it was going to change colors but didn't see any (I might have missed it :)) so I'd hit a color I thought I was as it changed lol :)

Sounds awesome, keep at it! And thank you as well :)

Submitted(+1)

It was a really fun game to play and the music really fit it. Because of the high score, I played it mutiple times to see if I could pass the best score, but I found the controls to be too sensible. I felt the character moved too much at the start, before I got accustomed to it. Other than that, great game!

Developer

Thanks so much nyxinabox!

I am glad that I created a  game that made you want to come back and beat your own score! I plan on making a setting for the control sensitivity and will up date that after the Jam ends.

Thanks again for your input and the time and effort to play and rate my game!

Submitted(+1)

Its a simple, effective idea thats overall really fun to play ! I think the difficulty curve progressed itself fairly well an there was a decent amount of polish too. Nicely done!

Developer

Thank you very much chichu for taking the time to play and rate my game!

I appreciate the comments and am glad that you enjoyed it and found it fun!

The audio effects are cool, but without a tutorial I was confused as to how to play the game. The changing of colors is actually nice, cool game

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks so much GrassthatchedGame!

I reeeeealy can't wait to fix that as it seems to be the number one issue. I just didn't have the time to complete my in game tutorial. Controls are pretty simple, but the way I want to do the tutorial is quite extensive.

Glad you liked the game though.

Thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

It's a nice game, but it was a bit annoying that a big part of the screen wasn't visible. Also, it would've been nice to have an in-game explanation or tutorial, but overall it's pretty good!

Developer

Thanks shlomito!

Things I will definitely fix. I didn't have time to complete the tutorial and the resolution was a build setting. First thing I will fix when the  jam is over.

Submitted(+1)

The visual and audio work well together to create a nice experience. The style of the game is very consistent and well conveyed. 

Somethings were a little confusing to me at first though.  Like for one, should I be trying to hit squares that are the same color as me?  This does not seem to be conveyed clearly to me. A small tutorial or introduction would be nice to tell users what they are supposed to do. Also, this isn't what I typically think of when I hear "survival game," so this was certainly not what I expected when I downloaded it.  Not a big deal, but it may mislead other people in the future also.  


Another problem I encountered (and this may just be my computer) is that the bottom is cut off so there seems to be things that I can't access. 

Overall that game-play is pretty fun although simplistic is pretty fun and addicting.  The main problems I had with it was just communication. Well done. 

Developer

Thanks fiabot for playing and rating my game!

The tutorial is in the works. As i have told others, I just didn't have time to complete it. Resolution was set in the build settings and that will be the first thing I fix.

Glad you found the game "pretty fun and addicting". That makes me proud of what I have created so far. Just need to work on the issues that you and the others have commented on.

Thanks again!

Nice game! Agreed with other comments about more control over the player. But it's nice anyway. Made 2964 point!
Good Job! Congratulations!

Developer(+1)

That is a respectable score! Thanks a bunch for playing and rating my game LordDiego!

This is a really nice and simple game that's a very solid base for a mobile game. You could tinker with the player's movement a little bit just to allow for more control but on the hole I had a fun time playing this one. I hope you keep working on this after the jam! There's definitely a lot of potential for different enemy types that move in different ways. You may want to consider adding symbols or patterns as well as colours  to differentiate the different enemy types just to make it easier for some people to tell the difference. Anyway nice submission! I hope this feedback is helpful 

Developer

Thanks Maroon Seal! Your feedback was indeed helpful!

I like your idea of  symbols or patterns. Will have to think the best way to implement that.

I do plan on continuing this after the jam. I want to go through the whole process of trying to publish this on mobile for sure and maybe PC? This does have that mobile feel and I think that is how I envisioned it from the beginning.

I will work on a settings for the controls (speed, slipperiness) after the Jam!

PS- I will rate your game when I get some free time to play it later on today! 

Thanks again!

This game is pretty addicting, perfect for a mobile game!  However I think the purple and magenta "enemies" are too similar.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing my game! For sure, I will change that. It bothered me as well that sometimes I couldn't tell the difference.

Thanks again!

Very neat! I was just thinking that it would be an amazing mobile game, and going to your actual game page I can see that that is already your plan. Nice thinking.

For the desktop version: the fixed resolution kind of messed up my view. But for a mobile game it'd be OK. Also, I kind of dislike the acceleration of the main character: I think it leads to more mistakes. But for a mobile game that's totally OK!

I like how you have long-term goals to work towards. But I would kind of prefer if you told players how to unlock each of the skins, as it's not too clear. If I feel that a new character is an attainable goal, I'll play more of the game!

Overall, nice job. The visuals and audio are a nice fit to the gameplay, and I like the basic gameplay. Good job! Good luck with the mobile release!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much JMS!

I appreciate taking the time to play and give an indepth review. I will add a setting for the controls so that could be modified. If it weren't for the time constraints I would have added and explained better the achievements and character unlocks. I did the art etc, but not the logic in the game, so I just left the place holders. When this project gets further along, I will reach back for your opinion. Hopefully you will still like it! ;-)

Thanks again!
