The rewind mechanic doesn't seem to do much. The only strat needed is to rush Gigi.

Pretty fun game!!

I liked the story and presentation. The gameplay was a little frustrating until I realized what the best angle to defend/attack simultaneously was.

The rewind mechanic was well implemented but didn't get along well with the rest of the gameplay, since most of the time if you failed it didn't actually allowed you to succeed.

The "noo~" Gigi screams were the best XD

Yeah, I agree with most everyone, the rewind doesn't seem all that useful. I would've opted for a dash or a special attack. With that said I had fun, the animations really made it. I would definitely play a fleshed out version of this game.

Fun premise!


Really like the effects, both SFX and effects on the attacks from Calli and the grems!


I agree that I think gameplay could use a little more depth, and also this it would help to attack in the direction of the mouse, instead of whatever direction Calli is facing - felt a little clunky at times to have to maneuver all the way around to get a good angle to defend myself against the grems and hit Gigi too

But maybe that was intended, not sure


I think that's about it for me, though. Good work!

Cute title screen.

The dialogue sections were well crafted using DDOLBANG's art.

I liked the funny Gigi voice clip "nooo". XD

Some improvement suggestions:

- Try making the rewind mechanic more appealing. I honestly didn't use it at all when I played and still managed to win.

- Consider adding more moves to Calli. Maybe a roll or dodge to avoid the grems while slashing. The game felt very repetitive with just run and slash.

It’s a cute and fun game. At first, I thought it was a game like Vampire Survivors where you defeat Grems, but it turned out to be a game where you have to go find Gigi and attack her. I also liked how the characters’ facial expressions were shown during conversations, and how attacks reduce health.

One downside was that the time-rewind effect didn’t feel very helpful, and it was hard to tell how much of the game was left. Also, even when getting hit by Grem, it didn’t really feel dangerous, so the game felt a bit too easy. Still, I enjoyed playing it.

This is cute. I really like the little sound bites, and together with the music and theme, the game comes together for a pleasant experience. I thought the rewind mechanic was cool and helped me get the perfect positioning for attacking. I had fun!

Edit: And I forgot to mention that I liked your usage of the stock mixamo animations lol they fit very well

I'm not sure what the rewind function is for, nor what a good tactic would be. When I tried rewinding it didn't help at all, and when I tried slashing the gremlins, the same number immediately replaced them.

While i do feel sad for all the innocent grems, Gigi needed to be stopped. Really nice use of the Sound clips :)

Thank you for playing! Would have been nice to put Calli's sound too but I was out of time...
