Ranked from 91 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?
The player must collect all the screws, but if they accidentally collect a screw BEFORE collecting the key, the factory "rewinds" and the screw is no longer part of the score! The player must traverse through the factory so that the ball can learn... something

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all of the code was made from scratch and all assets used were given proper crediting and are original works.

Greeeat game, I loved it! One of the best platformers, is original, music is really good, graphics are fine and so much fun! Puzzles are simple and challenging, makes you wanna play even more. One of the only games I would finish again! Probably to get the true ending... You did a nice job on this game, music is not distracting, not annoying, the way it changes at the final level is really cool but the level could be harder u know?Maybe in the true ending it is. Anyway, nice job! I loved it.

Do you wanna try my game too?Leave it a rating as well!

Developer

Thanks so much! I wanted the final level to feel more like a "Finally, you made it. Now to learn the truth..." type of thing, but yeah it makes sense to make it a bit more interesting and challenging! Thanks for the feedback! I played your game and I enjoyed it!

Submitted

Really cool game! The mechanic is interesting and it keeps you thinking about what will change when you collect a key, but I think that it could be more used in a more "rewind" way, just to fin better the theme. That being said it was a nice game. Good job!

Submitted

I had fun with this. Could use some sfx though. Good job overall.

It took me over 20 lifes to complete, but I never got bored. You used the theme perfectly.

Submitted

It was fun to play overall, the music loop was a little hard on my ears, but other than that, well done!

Developer

Thanks for the review! Could I ask you what about the music was a bit hard to listen to?  It would be helpful for future soundtracks.

Submitted

The loop was too short, which made it too repetitive.

Developer(+1)

Yeah I agree with that. I wanted to make longer soundtracks, but I ended up having to write it all out on the last day. Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely try improving on the music.

I had fun playing the game and figuring the levels out. They are quite varied and I found them difficult but not too much.

I think the mechanic of screws resetting after picking up the key could be explained in the game, as I haven't noticed it until I read the description after beating the game already.

And it has the simple oversight that's in quite a lot of games, that you can move with A/D but not jump with W.  Probably due to using Axis "Horizontal" for movement (it has alternative buttons A/D) but jumping with just KeyCode.UpArrow :)

Developer

Yeah I agree that there should be an explanation for the screws. That'll probably be updated after the game jam. As for the jumping, I didn't find it necessary since the controls say to use the arrow keys, but I can see why it would be good to have W as a jump key since some people prefer WASD.

Thanks for playing and reviewing!

Submitted

Cool concept, like the idea of having to fail once or twice to find out how the level is supposed to work until you get to the point where you see it on the first try.

Puzzles are good and game is fun. The only problem that I found it was that sometimes the colliders were too bigs as the bumpers (The ball didn't touch them but jump anyway).

God job for the game which is really cool.

very nice game good art style and gameplay well done

Submitted

nice platformer with great graphics and atmoshpere. I'd suggest making visible and clear animation for conveyor belts, at first I didn't even realize that they existed, and then I couldn't distinct them from normal ground.

Developer

Yeah I realized the conveyor belts were too similar to the normal platforms. I was planning on changing them and showing the direction, but time didn't allow it :( 

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Very nice game!!! Love the puzzles. I always find very hard to make them entertaining. But you did a very good job!! Keep it up

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Loved playing. Guess I shouldn't have skimmed the cost of a death for the rewind feature.  Good job!

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

This game is really challenging. Love the death counting, it was a nice touch. My only recommendation is to polish the visuals. Sometimes I struggled to find the key in the screen. 

Great job, friend!

Submitted

The screw challenge was fun... although I'll get too frustrated if I go for no deaths too... One thing that kept messing me up was it wasn't immediately clear which floors were conveyor belts and which direction they were going. Lots of spiky deaths from that.

Developer

Yeah I was planning on making the conveyor belts more easy to see and balancing the difficulty, but sadly I ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback though!

Submitted

Cool little platformer with neat puzzles :D A change of pace with the games in this jam ;) Well done. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968

Good but basic platformer movement. A little bit short. Nice entry :)

Submitted

Great puzzle platformer, I like the idea and game play. Well Done!

Submitted

Nice puzzle platformer with great music and graphics. Nice job!

Great background art! Loved the music too! Really felt mysterious and almost dark! It was a bit challenging but i was probably just too bad! Really enjoyed it!
