In rewind and run, each level is a 10 second animation that you can control (rewind, pause and play).
Using your mastery of time and your incredible jump skills, you must pass various obstacles to get to the end of the level.
Also, you are always running forward, so make sure you don't fall behind or you'll lose.
Keys: Up - Jump Left - Rewind Down - Pause Right - Play Space bar - Skip Level Intro*
* Before each level, you can watch the animation to have an idea of what to expect and plan ahead.
EDIT (01/09/2013): Uploaded the source code to github. Since it's a javascript project, the source was already availible, therefore I kept postponing the source upload and eventually forgot about it. Hope that's not against the rules.
Oh wow, really cool concept, although implementation is a bit rough. And whats with the graphics? Black gradient on the left, white background popping. Also the abilty to fast forward the intro animation would be good, cause i wanna know whats gonna happen, but i dont wanna waste 10 seconds on it :)
Hey JD557, I couldn't really get this to run. The hero just gets stuck on the screen at the beginning of the level. In Chrome I get "Uncaught ReferenceError: mozRequestAnimationFrame is not defined". I tried in Firefox and strangely it kind of worked when the web inspector was open. Hope this helps. FYI you are allowed within the compo rules to makes changes related to fixing bugs.

Very nice game, I enjoyed playing! It was also very difficult haha! Still, very fun to play.
@CustomPhase: Yeah, I had some problems with the implementation since I don't know how to precache images in raphael.js (once you create the object, it's drawn right away), therefore a lot of images pop when the download finishes. I should have added fast forward (I think it would be pretty easy to implement), haven't though of that. Well, too late now. :)
@alwaysinbeta: I think you are in the intro animation. Just press space bar or wait 10 seconds. If that's not it, then I have no idea what the problem might be since I tested the game on chrome on both windows and linux and the error you are talking about is "normal" (it's just my dirty code checking if you are running chrome or firefox). What version of chrome are you using?
Oh yeah you're right. Yay I got to play now! I didn't figure out I had to press space to start, I thought it was more of a 'skip intro' thing. Sorry for the noise!
Very cool game, cool custom use of controls. Liked the art simple but very mysterious a bit. Narration came outta no where but I liked it. Very fun game indeed
Very interesting concept but quite hard to understand at the first time , the anim skip fast with space space space can cause bug minor, I get fun and reach the end was a good challenge :)
This game is really cool and I think you ought to keep making some levels for it. Maybe spiff up the graphics. There was a bug where it displays copies of graphics and I think it appeared if you press Space at the wrong time, but I'm not sure. Other than that, it worked very well. It was hard enough to make you figure out some fun stuff you can do with the controls and I would love to see more of it!

Pretty tricky too.
Nice work!
