Very clever design and voice work, love the cinematic feel and I'm happy that the game has an ending. Highly rated! Great Job guys!

Very good, I liked the thematic of the game and your idea for the theme itself.

Please, play my game too!

Thank you so much!

This game is incredible, and definitely one of my favorites from this jam. The rewind mechanic is well-explained, and the puzzles here are really clever and rewarding. A version of this game with more levels could be sold for real money, and I'd be in line to buy it.

Developer

Wow! That's awesome praise! We are considering adding more levels, but would like to take a short break before we do.

Super polished game! I really loved it!

Developer

Thank you!

Very nice game! I love the idea, the graphics, everything is just fun, and the moment the messages are played back I created, I always get a little smile. Somehow I wasn't able to play all levels, because the game didn't let me, but this was the only problem.

Developer

Thanks for the review! All levels get locked when you complete 3 story levels, until you play the final level. Once you beat the game, the rest of the levels are unlocked and you are able to play any level in any order! Try playing them again in CAT MODE!

Super cool and unique! My only complaint is that sometimes one button press recorded 2 things at once.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The record button will record whatever you are hearing when you press it. It can also be held down to record multiple phrases. We could have made that clearer in the tutorial, but didn't have too much time for play-testing.

Really cool idea and very original. Recording the sentence you want is a little difficult, but the overall experience is great. It's amazing you were able to do all of this in such a short time.

Developer

Thank you! We definitely learned that we need to focus on controls a bit more.

Absolutely excellent entry.

Its hard to single out single words with the recording.  But, Other than that its great!

This game was really unique and I like the style very much. I kept thinking I had some good confessions going until I saw it was an incorrect answer and was disappointing ahaha. This game was amazing and you all did an amazing job! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the review! We tried limiting the amount of viable responses per level, but it turned out to be pretty tough! We'll have to improve on that process if we make more levels in the future!

Submitted(+1)

While the game itself isn't my cup of tea, this is awesome. I'm not used to playing this kind of games, so I can't say what needs polishing.

Developer

That makes sense. I'm glad you gave it a try either way!

Developer

Developer

Thank you so much :)

Wow that was really good. Tried the browser version and it didn't work at all. Glad I switched to Windows! Nicely polished. It felt a bit odd trying to time it and record the bits, but in the end, nice job!

Developer(+1)

The browser version is hit or miss, but I'm glad you switched to the windows version and go to experience the game! Thanks for checking it out!

This has to be one of the best games submitted to the jam! Everything was polished, the graphics were great, the music fit the game well, and the puzzles were fantastic. Really great job. 5 stars all around.
