In what way does your game fit the theme?
You play as a cassette tape and you leave a tape trail as you move. You can rewind the tape which moves you back to where you were previously, while destroying enemies in your path. Plus the graphics and sound effects help rewind you back to the 80's.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and made most assets from scratch. I did not make the music, fonts or most of the sound effects, but they are all licensed for commercial use. All the attributions are on the game's page. Every other asset was made by me.

I loved the retro graphics and the overall art style and design for the enemies. They were really simple but fit in really well with the neon vhs aesthetic of the 80's. I do think that maybe the difficulty curve, with the yellow cubes is a bit rough as they move really slowly so its hard to get them to line up. Other than that, it's a great game.

EmberJust played your game and... wow. The take on rewinding, and using it as a combat mechanic is super interesting! Although I know you didn't make the music by your answer to Q2, the choice of music is still stellar, and each track fits in perfectly with the pace of the mode. Overall, a super fun game!

Infinite ChancesNice graphics, the visuals are incredible! The game is very simple but is super fun! The easy mode is kind of "bleh" but when you start the last level, then the game really starts! It is super fun!!! Please make a mobile port to this, with challenges, different skins, a lot of levels... Work on this idea for a month and there you go, you will have a success game on play store! Great work my friend!
Try my game too! Leave it a rating if you can!

LAILAReally liked the game, I've seen one other game so far that uses the rewind to kill enemies mechanic but you are the first person I've seen use the finite tape length as part of the game.
I wish I could offer more feedback but I think you've executed this idea well and I really can't think of anything, good job!

Lackluster Video StoreWow! I loved your game, so far the best I've played. The retro style is impressive along with the music.
The level design is good and I liked that the life bar was hidden if the player passed by.
Excellent game, congratulations.
Please rate mine

Cassette DanceThe game feel great !! Had so much fun playing it ! Loved the soundtracks and the artstyle. This is a very well made game for a game jam I must say. It was somehow very satisfying. Killing the enemy while rewinding was fun and had some strategic possibilities.
TBH for me, the more difficult the level the easier it was to score points because of the fire rate..
But a great game nonetheless. Awesome job !!! Definitely giving a good rating ✌

Wind ItI liked the rewind mechanic and the limited amount of tape you can use. It added a challenge. Enjoyed the neon art them as well. Fun game

Rewind Inc.Oh that's a clever implementation of rewind mechanic, the games looks so cool too.
I would just suggest adding some sort of penalty to rewinding because as it is, it's harder to die than to stay alive :D

The DreamwalkerIt would be neat if there were a little more visual/audio feedback from killing enemies

Don't Nod In The MirrorHey thanks for playing, and I appreciate the feedback! I tried to add as much as possible without it being too distracting with the large number of enemies. First you have the enemy flashing, then a sound effect. If you kill one there is a particle explosion. Any more and I think it could be too much when trying to kill several enemies at once.
Awesome visuals and music! Great game.
If you have the time please rate my game: https://adro05.itch.io/bodyguard-rewinder-800x

Bodyguard: Rewinder 800xI love this theme! Really liked the visuals of your game.
I was a bit unsure about the UI in the beggining, but right away the games demonstrates excellence in this point. It was one of my favorites of this jam. Great job!
