Ranked from 23 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
In the game the player has to control a robot with a wind up battery. To keep the battery from discharging, the player has to REWIND it constantly at the rewind stations.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote most of the code, with the exception of the script that generates outlines on objects. Regarding assets, only the sound effects where from a paid asset we had.

Love the game! The robot looked nice. But I wish the game would be more fast pased, the robot felt a bit too slow for me.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

i like this robot :3

Developer

Thank you :)

Cool game and liked the rewind/recharge stations which gave you more time. A really cute little character too. :) The only thing that would have been nice would have been to have more space to see the level as I felt that the UI was taking up too much space when I wanted to see more of the level.

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback! Will take this into account.

Just realized I gave you the 20 needed!

Very well designed. The music as a bit loud or too close to the camera, just an option to change the volume would fix that right up.

The assets being done too were awesome! Great job!!

Could you please play and rate my game too?

Thanks! Will definitely fix that. 

Glad you enjoyed the game and I've already rated yours, it was really fun.

Visuals are good and the presentation feels great.

Gameplay wise I feel it could get a bit of an improvement, giving more excitement for the player to play the game.

I really like the artstyle, models, and UI. Works really well together. But the soundtrack doesn't really fit.

Developer

Thank you for playing it and the feedback! Will that into account.

I'm really blown away at how clean this plays and looks. The graphics work really well together. My only gripe would be that the UI feels like it takes up too much of the screen, making it really visually busy. I loved the idea and utilization of the theme, and my heart definitely got racing when I was at 5 seconds hauling ass to the next rewind station. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback.

I think the challenges were balanced nicely. I wasn't able to move the first time I tried to load this game because after the first message, it wouldn't allow me to close it. I restarted the game and there weren't any issues after that.

Developer

Yeah, it seems to happen with the tapes at the start that have dialogue if the robot doesn't touch them with its front. Thank you for keep trying and playing the game!

Submitted

Nice game, loved the graphics 

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked them :)

Good game! The idea is cool 

Developer

Thanks! Really appreciate it.

The Visuals are cute and the gameplay is fun and stressful. Nice game

Developer

Thanks! I really wanted to make the player panic when the timer got close to zero.

Submitted

Awesome idea, A really nice take on the theme

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Nice game! At some point the 'press e to end message' thing stopped working so I couldn't finish the game. Looks really good. The music becomes a bit repetitive after a while.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! 

Yeah It  seems it occured sometimes with the tapes at the start, but will upload the fixed version when uploads are enabled again.

Nice music and visuals. The robot is very cute. I wish we could see more of the map so it's less of a guessing game of where to go and remembering the map layout.

Developer

Thank you! I will take it into consideration.

controls don't work

Developer

Oh! thank you for letting me know. It seems it occured sometimes with the tapes at the start. I have already fixed it and will upload it post jam.
