How does your game fit the theme?
The main ability of the player is to rewind an enemy in time, counting down its clock. At the same time the level must be completed before the timer counts down to zero. The win condition is to reduce the enemy count to zero as more enemies spawn.

Fun game! I like the music, and the rewind mechanic is really cool, although it was a little hard to use effectively.
Pretty clever, using time stop as a kind of dash and reversing time as a way to "deflect" enemies' bullets back at them! Then a bullet I forgot about comes back from offscreen and hits me in the back of the head - oops. Took me a few times to figure out a strategy, but I managed to take them all down!
Pretty cool game, nice background music, and interesting abilities. Well done!
I like the perspective and the music. I found I didn't end up using the rewind mechanic so much, I found it a bit difficult to really utilize it. The kick was hard to figure out how it worked until I read a comment saying you need space between yourself and what you're kicking (I kept thinking I needed to be closer).
Cool concept. I like the time stopping mechanic. It's a little hard to know when kicking will work or not. Good job!
This is a fun concept for combat, had fun trying it out :). The UI and music is really nice.
I wasn't able to use the kick, maybe it's not implemented?
I like the 2.5D Atmosphere that you guys created, and the idea of the game is distinct from others, the only issue i ran into was that the enemy attacks phase through the boxes, good game all around though!
I tried a few times but keep dying immediately. 😂 😂
Not really sure what i'm supposed to do.
The artwork looks good, though!
The idea of rewinding is such a fun concept that that alone can be the only way to kill enemies. I had a hard time figuring out how to kick, but that didnt stop me from having fun by getting the enemies to shoot eachother.
Nice game! Really nice polish on the UI. I love the concept although I didn't find that much use for rewinding an enemy. Perhaps being able to rewind bullets? Either way good work!
The idea is very creative. Initially, I didn't use the mouse at all, I just paused time and moved to where an enemy must shoot through another enemy, which led to his death. It was so fun.
