In what way does your game fit the theme?
You play as a cassette tape and you leave a tape trail as you move. You can rewind the tape which moves you back to where you were previously, while destroying enemies in your path. Plus the graphics and sound effects help rewind you back to the 80's.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and made most assets from scratch. I did not make the music, fonts or most of the sound effects, but they are all licensed for commercial use. All the attributions are on the game's page. Every other asset was made by me.

I like it! The idea is original and the art and music choice are great for the theme!

The Vibin' BotThis might be my favourite game of the jam so far! Amazing music, really cool concept (that actually allows you to enjoy the music) and fit the theme perfectly. Really good job, congrats! :)

Time Flies (and sometimes it crawls)Damn, this was actually an incredible game even though it's really simple
- Great graphics, great astethics, I love the background aswell
- Great gameplay mechanics, something I haven't seen in this jam thus far, so clever that you actually kill enemies by rewinding your kaset
The only thing I wish you did differently is completly removing the shooting mechanic! Just make the player kill stuff by rewinding his kaset, it's a lot more fun and rewarding to get a kill streak by using your kaset. I barely even used the shooting because it was way more fun just rewinding into the enemies. Bravo for such a unique concept and brilliant execution

Love the A E S T H E T I C.
Nice gameplay too, very fun to make a little tape nest and rewind when being swarmed. But is it just me or does the enemy bullets not collide with the player?
Some more feedback for hits would be nice for sure, and making the weapons feel more punchy would definitely be on my list of polish.
Good entry, definitely better than most.
Please give me a review as well if you would be so kind. Kind regards,

Ill-WindJust have a very good time playing your game ! The retro feeling (and the music) were amazing !
The only thing I can say for criticism is that I would make the (awesome) background music reverse when rewinding, such as setting the pitch to -1 for example, replacing the rewinding sound effect you've included, this would be perfect !

Infinite RewinderThanks for the comment! While rewinding the music would be awesome, I figured with how frequent the rewind is used, the same parts of the music would be played over and over again. This also creates problems because enemy spawning is based on the music loudness. So I instead made it the rewind sound to provide a brief relief from enemy spawning while adding audio feedback. Thanks for playing!
I had to wear neon shutter shades to play this game. past that it looks sounds and plays amazing, along with having an A+ aesthetic. you did an amazing job putting all this together. The only real critique I have is the levels in the beginning didn't feel like I was making any progression.

It's a wrap! (Jam version)Very cool and good looking game. Had a lot of fun playing it! the ability to rewind into the enemy adds some tactical depth to the combat.
P.S. Awesome music. Synthwave always strikes my heart - I see synthwave I slap 5 stars for 'Audio' :D

Unauthorised 401Superb game, this was awesome. on top of that I liked the last levels song a lot.

Time WitchVery well done. I love the retro aesthetics and UI. I really only found myself "enjoying" the last level. Though, I supposed it was meant to be as a progressive way. Great job!
Submitted
Forced Nostalgia (Short)Wow.. just wow. We only had 7 days and you managed to produce this. The art is perfect and fits the setting. Your ui animations are glorious, I really like the pause menu when the cassette pops up.
