I try out the newest Mega Man clone. It's a decent game with a lot of potential, but suffers from some poor design decisions (camera too zoomed in, bosses with really long invulnerability periods) and lack of content (only 5 core stages and a 2nd loop that tries to pass for more content). It does sort of make up for it with the many challenges it demands from the player to obtain 100%.

As the name implies, you can rewind time in this game. In exchange, everything that hurts you, kills you. You do have a timer gauge that dictates how many 'deaths' you can take before you have to restart from a checkpoint, so it's not as bad as it sounds.

My suggestion is to beat the game first and unlock the really powerful form for the main character, then you can work on the challenges, which require avoiding specific actions like killing enemies, crouching, dashing, wall jumping; doing things like no missing, no damage; and even doing terribly like rewinding a lot and restarting from a checkpoint 50 times in a stage.

Some challenges will still need to be done with the main character's base form, like 'obtain under 6 bonuses' and 'don't kill any enemies except the boss'. Other than those, you can go all out with the alternate form for the rest of the game.
