A really clever usage of the "time travel" game jam theme. The game is designed to (somewhat) feel like you're doing everything backwards, with gimmicks doing the opposite of what they usually do.

There are a lot of cool ideas here, the game feels like it could last even longer with the amount of potential it displays. I really loved the idea of having to catch your bullets, it's super neat and feels like a pretty unique dynamic. Stuff like vines and water moving you in the opposite direction was funny, and the gravity flippers were good. While the push block gimmick was cool, the part where you had to raise them up felt really janky and confusing. The boss was more of a proof of concept than anything, I'd love to see a fully fledged boss done with these gimmicks.

A really cool idea. Might be a little bit confusing at the beginning.
