I like throwing the disc and catching it.

Developer

Sweet! Thanks for the feedback and for playing

Submitted(+1)

The game is very fun an the graphics look great. The only criticism I can give is the rewind theme could have been incorporated more.

Developer

Thank you for playing. I hear you about the mechanics and you are not the only one. I created this post to help explain more as to why the theme was interpreted the way it was: https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-game

Very fun but the rewind mechanic is just holding space the whole game so it's pointless I think

Developer

Thank you for playing

I completely understand where you are coming from and I created this post to help explain more as to why the theme was interpreted the way it was: https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-game

Loved the game. Completed it all and wanted more : )

Developer

Wow! Really? Thanks!  I do aim to continue to work on this idea post jam. If there's anything specifically you enjoyed the most, would you let me know? Thank you for playing! 

Submitted(+1)

The Aiming was really hard and the Rewind mechanic was without purpose. I would just constantly hold down space and aim a bit. I like the idea, but the Execution wasn't the best. Dont be discouraged just work further on your game and im sure something great will come out.

I'm not discourage. Thank you for your feedback :D

Oh! I really like how you interpreted the theme! Very original, bravo! 

Developer

Thank you :D Thanks for playing

Good concept, but I would've liked the indicator to also show how the disk actually bounced off the wall (at what angle); it's really difficult to gauge the trajectory it'll take sometimes. The levels were well-designed either way.

The rewind mechanic felt... just kinda out of place; it didn't really serve any purpose except to give the player some more busywork while trying to line up the shots. It also doesn't really limit or enhance the main mechanic, as far as I could tell.

But hey, the art and sounds were pretty good!

Developer

I did consider adding at least the first bounce to let you know but focused more on the other elements and never revisited the idea. :/

Over All, a very good game.

Developer

Thanks and thank you for playing :)

good game. i liked it

Developer(+1)

Sweet. Thanks. Anything specific you liked about it? Asking because I want to continue to work on this game and would like to know what people enjoyed most :D

Submitted

we need to rewind (or whatever) the robot a lot and it sometimes may be annoying. other than that is really nice.

Developer(+1)

Understood. Thanks for playing. :)

Submitted

you're welcome :)

Really like the game in generel, but the rewind part is more a bother than an actual feature.

Developer

Thank you for playing. I completely get it and here's more info as to why if you are interested: https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-game

Really cool game! Very well polished and I really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for playing :D

Submitted(+1)

This was a very well polished game! I liked the idea, however, it would have been nice if it was harder to rewind the robot. It feels half way between a puzzler and a rage game, and I feel it would be extremely nice as a rage game. Maybe you have to spin your mouse around in a circle? Also, having it come more often and having more things for the robot to worry about would turn this fairly calm game into a nightmare. But in a good way.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I created this post to help explain more as to why the theme was interpreted the way it was here: https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-game but at one point I did have an idea that would been more on the "rage" side of things...just did not feel ready to make a game like that that would also be fun :D

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, very polished! I also got stuck, though :(

Developer

Thank you for playing! If you got stuck on Sector 4 I wrote this talking more about that specific sector:  https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-game

Submitted(+1)

Cool little game! I also got stuck, the collider didnt seem to work on the button. Otherwise well executed :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! I think I moved the collider to much trying to ensure you could not just throw it in a straight line next to the button and hit it. :P If you got stuck on Sector 4 I wrote this talking more about that specific sector:. https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-gam...

Hi there, really solid submission! A unique interpretation of the theme, fun to play and even music :) It took a few seconds to understand the goal of the game (maybe add a quick tutorial?) but then really enjoyable! The choice of colors is also really good!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I did hear similar feedback so I will work on that to help teach without using "text" and "follow me" tutorial sequences :D

Really cool game i wish rewind mechanic would be something more but apart from that great game

Developer

I really like the bounce elements implemented here; they might be a little too precise but it does its job decently. The UI aesthetic is good, but I think the difficulty spike is a little severe. 

Developer

Thank you for playing! I guess I felt victim to the developer's curse in which you play a game for so long that you keep making it harder for yourself but do not allow others to ease into things. :D I will keep that in mind as I continue to work on this game.

Submitted(+1)

It was pretty good, its a puzzle game with precision elements though which is hard to blend, the rewind mechanic is quite literal but I don't feel like it adds a whole lot to the game, I found myself just holding space-bar at times to keep myself going. I did end up getting stuck on I think level 4 and had nothing to do but trial and error but I feel like if this had more time with a reason for winding up it would be a lot better like maybe raising or lowering the walls in a response to the robot being powered up.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I created this post to help explain more as to why the theme was interpreted the way it was and what's up with Sector 4 :D. https://prodigalson.itch.io/rewinder/devlog/169302/thank-your-for-playing-my-game

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the game but it's pretty hard to understand so I would like deeper Tutorial

Developer

Thanks for playing the game. I'm learning more and more how to design in such a way that helps player understand the goals and mechanics without the need of a tutorial. I will continue to work on that skill :D

Submitted(+1)

Very fun and looks good, the only complaint I have is that the theme was so inconsequential, I felt like this game could have been submitted to any other Jam because the mechanic was so tacked on and did not influence the gameplay or idea at all.

Developer
