Game Rewind 2020

This Game was developed for Brackeys Jam 2020.2 with the theme: REWIND.

2 things came in to mind when I first heard the theme.  Special rewind ability, and Youtube Rewind.

With 2020 being a very difficult and tough year for everyone, I have decided to use this opportunity to showcase the games that helped me through these tough times.  Similar to how Youtube Rewinds showcases the most popular cringe or cat videos.  This will be a homage to games I enjoyed during the first half of 2020 with a twist!

This is a top down shooter where could play as DUUM guy from DUUM: Old Horizon, VR guy Alex from Full Life: Alex and/ or Dom Nuk from Mammal Crossing.  

Your objective is to clear out the enemies lurking in the sewers.

When you die, you DO NOT die in real life, but your character would rewind to the start of the level.  If you choose to play as a different character, your previous character would replay the actions you have taken in its previous life.  Creating an opportunity for strategic team play and planning for each Rewind.

Extra Tips

• Each enemy has 50 HP
• DUUM guy does 7 damage per pellet
• VR guy does 15 damage per shot
• Dom Nuk does 25 damage per shot and has 100% accuracy
• Your projectiles will destroy the enemies' projectiles, use this to your advantage
  • one of the characters is especially good at that ;)

Known Issues

1. Level 1 should complete when all enemies killed, there is nothing in the dark area (forgot to add an invisible wall :))
2. Rewinded AI Characters will  teleport now and then in order to retain their original position from  their previous life.  Keeps the later recorded action consistent.
