Absolutely genius and a hilarious concept, honestly astonished it was made in such a small amount of time. I found some parts of it a bit difficult to stomach in terms of executing them but the creativity really shines through, so I would really recommend it.

Great concept that's executed well, though a bit annoying to actually execute because of the nature of it, but pretty much all of the difficulty comes from figuring out what to do anyways. Visuals and music are fine.

Would definitely recommend this one, it's a great puzzle game using an idea I don't think has ever been done before in fangames.

Description of the game spoils the main mechanics so would recommend playing blind if you wish. The idea behind this game is that you have to play it in reverse while maintaining the timeline, not only can you die to normal killer objects but you can also die due to breaking the continuity of the timeline, and it's absolutely insane how the makers managed to flesh out this concept. There are a lot of different mechanics that occur, and all of them can be solved by figuring out how the screen was originally played. I found it quite enjoyable, I think the only thing I'm unsure of is one continuity death occurring during the boss that I never figured out.

Retrace my Steps is a short yet incredible puzzle game that relies on one of the most interesting concepts I've seen in a fangame, and it's definitely going to be a pretty memorable one too.

I wonder if this game is any good.

So I need to vote a game for Brainteaser of the year.

Cool gimmick that doesn't overstay its welcome or get pushed in unfun ways. It's kind of hard to figure out what to do in places, but I think that's part of the appeal.

extremely creative, but a lot of the puzzles feel trial and error and brute-force-able, and certain mechanics like the jump refreshers and water felt way harder to execute than was really necessary imo. still a very interesting game and the extent to which the concept is executed is impressive.
