Viewing post in Just finished my game, any thoughts?

I cannot tell if I have forgotten the rewind key or if its just not working for me, I stopped having memories created with no idea how to create more and reloading didn't give me the controls screen again.

I have no idea how to get past level 3 with the boxes on the left as you cant attack while in the air, if it uses the rewind mechanic then this is as far as I can go. I tried going back to see the controls but I'm guessing they only show once..

I also ran off the ledge at that same area and I'm stuck in an endless freefall so if the solution to level 3 was to go right instead then I didn't discover it. Which brings me to my biggest feedback in this jam so far, please add an esc menu for situations like this as you pretty much lose the player the moment they have to keep reloading just to play the game.

Music and assets fit together nicely, maybe add a sound effect to the coin collections though as its not very satisfying at the moment.

Heres mine if you find the time to play:

A pause menu would have been a good idea, I'll have to work on that next time I do a jam, thanks!

There is no key for rewinding, it's a sort of replacement for your health-system. You can actually jump right onto the boxes in level 3, and the infinite pit is a mistake I will fix shortly... :p

Added a coin sound effect too, hope it's alright!

I liked your game as well, the sound effects made it quite satisfying to play, although it was hard to know that I had to deliver the tapes to shelves that were not on the screen.

Did you play without sound? it has directional beeping attached to the arrows. Maybe I should make a 'compass' style indicator instead.

I do remember the audio, which is what made me head up the store in the first place, but regardless, it may be a good idea to implement multiple indicators as well!

Sorry that was a stupid question when you said the sound effects were satisfying haha, thanks for giving it a play, ill look into a directional indicator
