Lovely idea! love the aesthetics

taiters 2013-08-26 06:59

Thanks! I'm no good at art so I tend to go for bright and glowing shapes :D

First: The tune is neat, I loved that tune.

You took a very common style (WASD shooter), and you added a lot of little nice twists to it. I liked the "rewind" effect every time I collected an objective, and I really like the small, discreet dots pointing to the next objective.

One possible improvement is that it is still easy to fall on the "Where is the last goal?" syndrome in this game. Maybe the goal indicators should have a longer range.

Cheers, and thanks for the game! Have a video: http://youtu.be/k_i6TFU4TqA

Good little game.

Love the music and the look. Nice use of color.

I agree with the above post, I kept getting lost trying to find the last target.

Nice feature with rewinding. Pretty decent game in total.

Very nice game! I like the aspects of the game:
* Enemies try to block you instead of shooting you
* The time shifters actually turn back the time: very cool!
* The graphics style is totally cool

Thanks guys!

@gameXcore Yeah I know what you mean, when I was making it I didn't take that into account because I had played the levels so many times haha.

Pretty cool game! :)

Cool idea with going back in time. The enemies could be more dangerous.

A neat little tank fighting game

dlowe 2013-08-27 03:34

This was fun! How many levels did you make?

larb 2013-08-27 04:22

Love the music. Best music I heard so far in this LD! Really neat game and rewind mechanic. Good use of the theme. Awesome entry.

I also kept forgetting which way I had already gone. (Need sleep...) But, I kept going, because it's really fun. The last level was a fun change.

Also, it was awesome when I figured out I could hold the button to auto shoot. My laptop touchpad was getting murdered.

Cool idea,loved the "rewind" effect too,congrats!

Nice graphics style and a good take on the theme!

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 15:33

Really nice looking game, with a good concept and fun to play. I like how you go backwards to the start! I featured your game in my compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you want to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Polnsp4F8

dioiminik 2013-08-27 21:14

keep up the very good work, well done. Fit's the theme quite nicely ;)

jacob123 2013-08-27 22:04

I loved this game! It was challenging but not impossible. The enemies were hilarious in my opinion. They just pound you up against walls when they clearly have guns. Great game!

atgaubatz 2013-08-28 04:11

The rewind effect was a great touch!

taiters 2013-08-28 21:52

Thanks for the comments! I think I'll definitely be doing a post compo version of this game now! :D

xhunterko 2013-09-02 03:16

Wow! Very well done! Although I was not sure as to whether or not I was meant to collect the green objects. Maybe make that bit a little more clear.

aaants 2013-09-04 20:21

Nicely done :D

fferro234 2013-09-05 04:49

Nice graphics and sound. I was expecting the other ships to shoot at me or something but they worked fine at trying to block me. Cool Game.

theholychicken 2013-09-06 04:51

Terrific idea of having enemies block you without damaging you! It would be nice to have more interesting objectives, though..
Everything runs very smooth and has a great feel to it. Great job!

flavio 2013-09-08 18:53

Cool idea and nice graphics !

jools64 2013-09-09 17:32

Awesome game!

I love the reverse effect, it's very cool. Also the graphics look nice, the game was fun and had a fair bit of content. I really liked the music too.

Great job!

saschanarr 2013-09-11 15:23

Nice game! Like the rewind mechanism, and the enemy blocking works rather well!
