An Ode to Space by Omni
Collect eggs until you run out of space. Jump carefully.
Every time you press Space, you slowly run out of space. Press Backspace to rewind and gain some space.
Controls: Move: WD to move Spacebar: Fly Backspace: Rewind

And I got 67 eggs!
But our game is better)))
Loved the audio and the minimalist mono aesthetic style, though it's a bit bare bones. It's just held back by the lacking game-play. The rewind mechanic also, doesn't seem particularly useful. Other than that, it's a decent submission.
I was confused by the instructions saying WASD to move when you can really only move left and right, and it's the spacebar that lets you get off the ground at all. But admittedly, that's a very minor issue.
Top marks for clever implementation of the theme. Not only do you run out of space _by pressing space_, you can get space back by pressing _backspace_. I like how the rewind mechanic works, especially with the way the coins retain the same spawn pattern as long as I'm jumping back to the same rewind point. Whenever I feel like I can collect more coins in one jump or maintain my vertical height by ending on a platform, I can rewind freely.
Platform edge collisions seem a little weird sometimes, like I can sort of slide up top of one by pressing myself against the edge if I only just miss it.
Finally, I rather like the endgame bit when you're on the last row. You can rewind, of course. The game won't stop you from going back and doing something (or everything) over again. Or you can accept your fate and let your last space run out. I feel like there's a good metaphor to be made here about facing the end of things, whether that was the intent or not.
