Hey guys! I'll gladly rate your games if you rate mine afterwards. I'll try to go over all the games posted here until saturday, but I will prioritize those who don't have 20 ratings yet. :)

Done! The game is down to earth and easy to understand. Even if little information was given, I was able to figure out what to do and which item is which with ease. The song is pretty soothing too.
I encountered some UI problems, probably due to the screen resolution. I too find it a headscratcher in the games I make sometimes.
Good work, and nice easter egg! ;)
Done! Definitely original, bungee jumping didn't cross my mind when I brainstormed after the theme was revealed.
The game is quite fun, but I would tune down the difficulty a bit. There was a lot of stuff coming at me. If you're worried about making it too easy, leading to the player surviving forever, you could instead choose some system in which difficulty increases over time.
Good job overall though!
Done! The theme is pretty well implemented. My concern is that, in the first part, there doesn't seem to be any threat of defeat. Because, well, if the player were to encounter a hostile monster, they can just rewind, et voilà. The challenge is missing.
The second part is different. The player has a preset amount of lives and must escape the king of monsters before their life counter falls to 0. There is now a threat of losing, and that tiny difference alone makes the second part already a lot more fun. Well done!
From what you say, I think you are doing it right. Something that you could also try is this. Otherwhise, I am unsure as to what the cause for this is, but it could also be to do with hardware or drivers. Either way, we are very sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks regardless.

Done! I really like how the game was built. The player could technically just go for the finish right on their first try, but then they wouldn't score anything. So really, they must gamble their patience away. The greedier they are, the more pounds of gold are at stake, and the longer they'd have to grind if they were to fail. Really nice gameplay!
Done! Simple, but the challenge is there, and that's all that's needed in a game to make it fun. Though I must say, I found even the easy mode is a bit too hard. Maybe playing the same game with the keyboard would help. Or was it playable with a keyboard? I didn't know.
Good work nonetheless! Being able to make a game fun without making it complex is definitely important in the world of game design. :)
Done! I must say, that game FAR surpassed my expectations after looking at the cover. It is surprisingly complete. I never would have thought of using the theme as a pac-man kind of mechanic where the player is now on top of the food chain, just brilliant. The music is very enjoyable, and I find the simplistic art style actually pretty well placed. Great job overall, definitely one of the best games I looked at in this thread!
I scored 126. :)
