Rewind Descent

What it is

Rewind Descent is a 2D action survival game that Lvdou2nd made for the Ludum Dare 60 game jam (theme: Old Tech). Your spaceship is heading back to Earth when a mysterious device starts reversing its technology: advanced systems turn into steam machinery, then wood, rope and fire. You dodge the changing hazards, pick up loose objects to block attacks, and keep the ship together long enough to land. Heavy machinery and electrical waves can't be blocked, only dodged, and if you fail you can retry the current stage. Before each stage, walk up to the flashing yellow communications terminal with empty hands and click it, read the messages and journal, then begin. The author spells out the AI's role on the page: AI assisted with programming, procedural visuals, writing and translation, and the cover image was generated with AI using gameplay references. No model is named. The game was made in Godot.
