Toki Tori developer Two Tribes Games is working on a “2D shoot em up,” according to a series of tweets from the company’s official Twitter account today.
Toki Tori dev experimenting with Rewind, a ‘2D shoot em up’


The game, which the developer characterizes an “experiment” right now, is called Rewind. The name is a reference to an in-game mechanic, which “started out with rewinds but that may be dropped.“
Since development is looking “likely,” Two Tribes posted the following for questions about the genre on Twitter.

Question Three: Do you mind the 'start from the beginning' setup lots of old school 2d shoot 'm ups have?

Question four: Why do you not mind starting over. What's the draw of replaying the earlier stages for you?
