Nice racing game with clear mechanics. However I do agree with thirosa72 with the reverse button idea, so when the car crashes there's an option to save the current run.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You need to 'Rewind' the car when the energy runs out in order to continue and get the best time
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code and have used assets I have purchased.

I really loved this entry, got stuck playing it for more time than i expected hehe! As a fan of racing games a think this ideia is really unique, it gives a very nice twist on the genre adding another completely different thing for the player to control and pay attention. I think that if you continue to work on this project (which i do hope you do), you should warn the direction in which to turn a little bit earlier, since a lot of the portals are right before some fast turning points and in the beginning it was a little bit difficult to make the turns. With more levels/modes and additional controls (like maybe going backwards or drifting, like other games) i would definitely buy and play it a lot!!
Very solid work and fun game, hope you keep it up!!

RobospierreI really loved the game! Your idea of make the player split the atention between the mouse to rewind the engine and keyboard to control the car to not crash (and prevening of the player driving too slow) into something was super cool! The music fits perfectly with the game, it's not tiring to hear during the game. The only thing that I would like is some sfx of the car (wheels and engine).

Tape CollectorsThis is such a cool idea! The driving physics felt great and making the jump was really satisfying :D Getting the mouse onto the right spot to wind was challenging sometimes but that was part of the fun for me

The Interference (DEMO)I love the rewinding mechanic here! The game looks and controls GREAT. I have to say, I wasn't expecting much from such a simple concept, but you really blew me away!

Rewind BoxSuperman 64.....but 1000x better, lol.
Interesting game concept, I like the constant management of winding up the car and driving. If the energy depletes faster and there is a need to wind up at the same time, it could be a very fun and challenging experience.
