Great gameplay mechanic!
I don't like how small the camera is compared to the levels, you don't really what is going on and have to guess the timings, other than that, nice!

The gameplay shows real potential, but it needs more design refinement. You could also consider using 2D instead of 3D to simplify development.

Yeah, I agree. I thought doing it 3D would be a neat idea to make the background look better, but it didn't quite turn out how I envisioned. I'm just going to take this one as a learning experience. Thanks for your feedback!

Awesome concept but could be executed a little better mechanic wise like telegraphing things with some effects except that loved the art and music, good job! :D

You used the rewind mechanic in some really interesting way, and I thought that the game was overall quite creative and an interesting take on the theme!

Concept of time rewinding is super cool with the puzzle-platform mechanic, and all the art is really well put together (love the background!)
