In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player has to make sure VHS tapes returned by the customer are properly rewound, among their other responsibilities as a VHS rental store clerk.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. I wrote the code (besides the actual engine), drew the textures, recorded the sound effects, and composed the music myself.

I loved the audio, and you did really great in the idea in general. I think I would suggest the tutorial more interactive if you would continue this project
I also went with the idea of a rental store. The theme is good and the gameplay is well done. Took a while for me to realize which tapes went were but in the end quite a fun game. I also like that customers looked different and their expression changed etc. Be sure to check my game.
Very addictive and well made. Fantastic job
Simple, but fun. I lost track of how long I was playing. I really enjoy simulation games like this, regardless of how simple the simulation is.
This game is super fun
this game is polished, i enjoyed is so much!
Really good UI and smooth gameplay. I however personally couldn't grasp the concept initially, maybe it will change with a few more playthroughs.
I liked this one. Simple, yet fun. I think someone mentioned the "papers please" kinda vibe which fits for this!
it's a really fun game, I love itπ
Really fun game! Love the Papers, Please vibe. I would add some ambient sounds to make the world feel a bit more alive. Easing into all of the different steps would help a lot too!
Really fun game! Ran into a bug where I dragged a VHS to the customer and it was just floating there and I couldn't move it. Besides that it was really fun, good job!
Thanks for the feedback! That's really strange, can't imagine what could've caused that bug. I'll have to look into it.
Took me a while to get used to the writing style haha :) Well executed game, loved the graphs to give you feedback straight away. Probably short tutorial would be handy to prevent constant loses at the beginning. Good job!
very cool game, it took me a bit to figure out but once i did it was pretty fun
I really like this kind of game! I think the text on the How to Play screen is hard to read though, you want to avoid putting text on a background of complementary color. Other than that, nice game!
What a nice experience!
First of all I like the concept of going back when VHS still were a thing and to make it so real, there are the awesome graphics as well as the sounds that bring you really back in time. Then the aspect to charge extra for forgetting to rewind fits the theme well.
And that makes it a great experience!
Hi there, that was a fun interpretation of the theme! The "rewind" back into the past where movie stores were a thing was nice; fun and interesting concept, music fits well with the artwork and the game :)
Haha! this was nice!
