Wow! This is super cool. My personal rating is it's close to impeccable. Super nice.

Do you use any kind of programming patterns to do the replays? I've always wanted to make a game like this but stopped myself because I was afraid of making some code spaghetti that doesn't work.

if you'd like I'm happy to share the source code with you. the way I do it is a bit scuffed and it's ultimately very buggy, but it works. I just had to make sure that when the replay fails, it fails in a safe way.

That would be cool and very much appreciated.

Snippets of the section with the replays is perfectly fine too if sharing the source code is too troublesome. Having a general idea of how it’s implemented is enough for me.

TL:DR is that every action the player takes (i.e. every time the player hits "confirm"), data about that action is packed into a tuple and added to a list. 

During "playback mode", whenever the player is lacking commands, they check the next item in the pastActions list and perform that.

That should've worked, and it did 90% of the time, but it ended up desyncing a lot so i then slapped on a ton of bandaid fixes LOL

Nice. Thank you for the link and the tldr. I especially like how simple the playback solution seems to be, at least in writing. I’ll probably need to practice them outside of game jams though haha.
