Push, Rethink, Undo, Repeat

Great puzzle game. First... thank you for the volume slider for the music. Music was okay but I dropped it to 25% almost immediately. The unlimited undo is very nice and the controls are easy to use (I played on keyboard). Puzzles where challenging and fun... good mix of easy, medium, and real thinkers, for levels. On one of the larger levels I would have appreciated being able to see more of the level... made a mistake and had to move around quite a bit before I realized. If I could have seen maybe 5 more grid vertically it would have likely allowed me to fix the error and squeak by. Fits the theme very well. Nice reto-style graphics. Fun to play (yes I like puzzle games). Will play again.

Pretty good game, nice take on the theme and I liked how the puzzles were randomized I didnt want to do the same puzzles every time. Love the dramatic music too. Not much to criticize here.

Nice fun game! Simple mechanic used quite well. The camera shake is abit to much as i went away feeling abit dizzy after one run. But overall a well made game!

I love games with those mechanics! Really cool pixel art. And nice music too. Well done!

Thanks for the volume slider and gamepad support!

Graphics and music were well done and fit the game.

The puzzles being randomized caught me off guard at first, but I think it's a nice twist and adds to the replayability.

Really cool idea. I made it to 6 on attempt 1 and 10 on attempt 2 - given that the puzzles seem to be pcg with chains of prefab elements, I think having the game knowledge to quickly and efficiently solve every puzzle in the game is the key to doing really well here. The movement feel seems a little off to me. I'm a big far of the music design - in particular, the panic music as the game is about to end. Well done!

I really enjoyed the puzzles, always been a puzzle person, great job with the artstyle and audio design. I had a bit of trouble, at leas at the start, with the character beeing stuck to a grid as he moves. I would have preferred more free movement. The level design was good, i liked how elements were reused as new random levels came. Well done!

This was a fun block pushing game. I think I'd prefer it if the map view was just a couple tiles bigger, but the undo mechanic helps make up for the lack of vision.

I like the music and visuals. The gameplay is a classic, but it's always fun. I am not really fan of the timer in a puzzle games, but understand it for the jam theme. Overall a well made jam game. Well done.

Really cool game! I was impressed with it all the way through. The puzzles are well designed, the music is great (I especially love the horror movie-esque loop that starts when you're low on time, amazing addition), and to top it off some nice variety with the random rooms! Very well done!

First the bad. Despite rewind, I still would have killed for a fast restart level button. I'd maybe also limit how fast you can move if you aren't running, as I'd accidently double tap the keyboard occasionally and almost never wanted to move that quickly.

This was fun. Like a lot of fun. The soundtrack and sfx were on point, graphics very servicable, gameplay challenging but not unfair. Just overall a good package that was easy to pick up and get moving with.

Also random puzzles built from puzzle sets? That was surprising and really cool! That did mean that my first play through I got stuck, and the 2nd play through I got much easier puzzles that guided me through the mechanics.

Overall wow the whole package here was great, and this may be my favorite puzzle game of the jam so far. I hope it gets developed further.

I ended with a score of 10.

Block pushing with rectangular blocks is a nice twist. On my first attempt I did not realize there was a time limit, and on the second attempt I realized that it is repeating level sections in a random order. I don't feel like the time limit adds very much here, I would prefer to be able to take my time to solve the levels than to feel like I have to rush. I also found that the coins added very little time, so it was almost always better to ignore the coin and rush to the exit.

Really fun game. The only bad part was the lack of restart button. Noticing I made the wrong move 30 steps back meant it was quicker to just reload the page and get back to that score.

Besides that it's quite an interesting game.

pretty solid game very polished somehow i got stuck at level 6 no matter what i did. so that might be a balance issue or that can also be just my incompetence all in all i think this is very polished and a very good puzzle game :thumbsup:

Solid puzzle design and execution! The screen shake is definitely a little much, and the movement feels a bit too... sensitive I guess? Often I would just tap the arrow key and the character would move two spaces instead of one.
