this was really fun. I could see this as a mobile game for sure if you made more levels! Also the screen-wrapping fit the idea of the game perfectly.

A really well polished game! Big probs for making it! Had a lot of fun. Also like the whole idea of going to the other side by going off screen :D Well done. Hope you try mine too /jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
Really cool game! The movement was very responsive and it felt smooth. Loved the art. :)
That was a lot of fun! I really like how you can teleport to the other side of the level by going off the screen! I just wish it was a bit more clear on how to do that since it took me a while to figure out. But the game design is really good and interesting. Nice work!
Man I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get on that first platform until I went off the screen by accident lol. Nice job. The controls are nice and the soundfx's line up nicely. I like how rewind is your enemy it seems. I think there might have been a bug in the level with the clouds? I hit the first cloud from below and destroyed it and had no way to get up or reset the level.

Amazingly fun for a simple concept. You nailed the character controller (responsiveness - most important thing in platformers) and the level design was creative. The death blocks could be highlighted more and you could make use of the theme more in various ways :)
I think I'm bad at this game or my laptop is lagging haha, I couldn't get passes the 2nd room haha.(I bounced on the mushroom but couldn't reach the wall to wall jump) Also that is a huge jump for a first room~ perhaps make the first few levels a bit easier so the player can get more into the game. The movement does feel awesome! Great controls for sure~ and the pixel art is awesome! Keep it up! Please check out my game if you haven't :D
I like how you have to think out of the box for this one. That and the platforming feels great.
I didn't fully understand the purpose of the rewind though. Is it just there to be avoided? If so, it could be fleshed out even more in my opinion.

Do you like games that make you rage? try my game it will be worth your time.
i like how the game looks and feels.Good job!
*Maybe you would also like to try and maybe rate my submission*
cute graphics! solid platformer controls, good sound design. nicely polished up. but doesn't really use the theme.
good job!
The jumping felt laggy/unresponsive sometimes, may be webgl fault.
Interesting little game, very punishing level design, I like it :D
It is a very nice game. Love the mechanics and feel of it. Even thou it does not quite fit the theme it is really worth to try out and experience. Nice job!!!
Doesn't really use the main theme as it was already pointed out by others, but the main mechanics are really solid and are fun to play. You can consider turning this into a mobile phone game, good job!
