Nice entry, love the rewind effect and the mechanics. Cool art direction too

Really cool. The resolution was too big for my screen hough so I had to stretch it over 2 monitors

Love the rewind effect!

samuelsousa 2016-12-12 12:00

The platforming is okay. Art is simple but cute. Music works very well.
I didn't like the diyng sound too much. I think it stands out too much.
I like the particles pointing out whats new every time you rewind.

What makes this interesting is the take on the theme:
One in reverse evolving room!

"From Paris with Love" ;)

Excellent entry, I love it!
The art and audio is outstanding (I love the rewind sound, and the animation of the exit portal). The overall mood is terrific too 5/5. The rewind effect is very good.
Gameplay-wise, it's simple at first, but it quickly becomes very challenging. I had a very hard time completing the last level! I really love how you manage to use this single room so many times by flipping it over.

Overall, it's a very fun and creative entry, I really enjoyed completing it! I'm quite amazed that it's only your first Jam, I'm eager to see what you're going to do next time!

Bravo!

P.S.: What tools did you use to make the game? Coded by hand?

timgarbos 2016-12-12 16:46

It works!

jimmothysanchez 2016-12-12 16:48

I think this is a really clever take on the one room theme.

gdcvdqpl 2016-12-12 16:49

Really really fun game !
The rewind effect is amazing, and the wall jump is really sweet... That's a bit to bad that it isn't possible to wall jump twice in a row on the same wall like in super meat boy...
Excellent art and execution

Really addictive! loved the music, sound effects and the rewind idea.

sanojian 2016-12-12 20:06

Really good all around. Quite innovative way to use the theme.

berneytd 2016-12-12 20:46

really interesting and fun!

sollinxp 2016-12-12 20:50

really cool Idea, good game!

yamzho 2016-12-12 20:53

Very nice entry ! I want to see more of this !!! :) Well done guys !

piwicode 2016-12-12 21:13

@drludos Thanks, this is based on GameMaker.
@Yamzho Thanks, we want to revamp the levels after the JAM. We were short on time and the way level hare build makes refactoring time consuming. We would have like to deliver more.

Great Game! the simple controls made the gameplay fun and responsive. i loved the idea. Gameplay reminded me of Super Meat Boy. very clever use of the theme rewinding the level and reusing it with an extra part added which makes it more difficult each time!

boltkey 2016-12-12 22:33

My favorite entry so far. Really enjoyable, challenging in a good way. Nice audio. I loved the level design and was really awed when the room rotated.

Reminds me of the This is the only level series by Armor Games.

almightytuna 2016-12-13 01:10

Platforming was serviceable, the level design however was outstanding, the twisting was a wonderful adition

bobsleigh 2016-12-13 15:16

I liked the atmospheric music and the death sound effect. The game is well thought out and the rewind mechanic underlines the OneRoom concept in a nice way. Great little game!

hadikcz 2016-12-13 17:49

Really fun game, minimalistic graphics fits great into this theme. Simple supreme hard platformer :) Great entry

oskardevelopment 2016-12-13 18:10

Adding the ability to use WASD as well as the arrows would've made the controls a lot easier! :) Cool game, great music, nice art and cool mechanics. Love the "rewinding"!

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 21:49

Nice game :) I've complete 4 or 5 levels but that's all. Too damn hard. :D

mvieira 2016-12-13 23:11

Great and Addicting Game! I just stopped playing because my hands couldnt handle...lol. I must had died a hundred times.

piwicode 2016-12-13 23:12

@Ygogo Ho, nooo, try to stick on the wall. You need to see the rotation! Thanks for playing :)

maple 2016-12-14 07:33

This was awesome. The audio was particularly awesome. Set a real nice vibe, and the death sound felt like it was part of the music. Very cool.

The bounce upon landing kinda threw me off a tad. Perhaps if you were rewarded for jumping on the bounce (eg: with a bigger jump) it would have been cool.

Graphically, a bit to be desired. However, the rewind effect was super cool, and somehow the floaty morphy blob was fitting, too.

The level rotate is something I've been trying to play with in my own game design (outside of Ludum Dare), so it was awesome to see another game use it. And, the way you used it was very fitting. Added a whole new dimension to gameplay, from the same level layout.

Pretty solid entry. You guys should jam more. :>

negativice 2016-12-14 13:37

Pretty cool game, i finished it! Kind a weird death sound, also the bass was kind of strong, my whole room was shaking haha, that said i did like how the music built up as the room built up :)

wdebowicz 2016-12-14 20:58

Guys I can only imagine how much you spend on make this mechanism so pleasent. It was a lot of fun to play it!

alfadur 2016-12-14 22:22

Not sure how to explain it, but the whole evolving level thing makes surprising amount of sense. :D When you see it, if feels like a natural continuation of the gameplay. The platforming felt solid as well.
Only I think the spawn point for the last stage might be better placed in the bottom left corner. When it's on top, you can just press right when spawning and avoid the leftmost well and all the spikes automatically.

albert-viader 2016-12-16 09:20

Is better play it with gamepad! The game remember me to super meat boy. very good game. Congratulations!

arzi 2016-12-16 13:23

I like how the level changes a little each time and the player character is quite cute.

dominisz 2016-12-16 20:20

Very nice idea which uses single room. Visuals and sound are very good. The rewind effect is cool. Very challenging. Good work!

ouro17 2016-12-16 21:15

God! This is a good game mates. I like it a lot, the music, the mood, the controls, very good job! I liked a lot how the level become more and more challenging. You can turn this in a real game in my opinion! Congrats!

themightyteam 2016-12-16 21:33

Very well executed! The rewind part was a good point too.

A lot of resemblance to super meatboy, which is not bad. Technically impressive.

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-12-17 01:34

Sweet concept with strong execution. It's really fun and addictive, the rewind effect is super smooth. I can see the work you've put inside.

w-gasabf 2016-12-17 15:27

Very nice game. Gameplay is awesome and sound is great (except the dying sound...). Congratulation !

wowods 2016-12-23 10:59

Good platformer game... I really like the effect for rewind the game to the beginning and just adding some obstacle to the level to make it difference.

flannelvindicate 2017-02-06 01:45

Pssst! We played your game on Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEREN8WyPcA
