Ranked from 86 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?
Our game fits the theme in two ways: 1. We went with a retro GameBoy aesthetic to "rewind time." 2. Being a rhythm game, our core gameplay mechanic is to rewind through a track multiple times, allowing the player to try different instruments as the difficulty increases.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes 99% of the code was written by us during this jam. All art, music, and most sfx were also created by us during the jam from scratch.

I cannot commend you all for how amazing this is. This is a next level submission. you've already got all the feed back from any complaints I would  have, I would love to see this continued and expanded upon.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! We are definitely planning on continuing development, so keep an eye out for that!

I LOVE the voice of your game at the start menu! It gives me nostalgic feelings :D

OldSchool guitar hero vibes! I like it.

Maybe easing in the player with levels will help, as My fingers did not want to work together, So instead of having 4 keys, only go with two. Also when in the game there is now way to get back to menu.

Good music choices though! The Art as well!

Amazing Job with completing the Game JAM! 

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and the feedback! We'll be continuing production after this game jam for sure.

The colors, visuals and interface in general just look awesome!
I love the take on the theme as well, and the music had me bopping ! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Very cool game! I would just have a more clear response when the player hit the key, but I think this is very good and cool transitions!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Alot of people have had the same thoughts, we will definitely add that after the rating period.

I can see myself playing this all day!

glad you liked it!

The game looks amazing, plays amazing and sounds amazing, but I fail to see an active implementation of the jam's theme, which is a big pity. I feel like the notes going backwards is just not enough, you can't interact with it, it just is there. Nevertheless, every other single aspect of the game is outstanding, and I say it as a veteran rhythm player. Good job!

If you could give my entry a try and a rating, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate you playing! I'll check your game out

Cool rhythm game!  i love it :D

Developer

Really cool game! Reeeeeeally funky!

Developer

thanks! We tried to achieve maximum funkiness

Submitted(+1)

That one was so much fun to play! The music was really good and the soundeffects were giving a nice immersion. It would have helped if there were different colors (or green values) for the 4 notes. Depending on which instrument you play, a graphic would have been nice. Also highlighting the pressed keys would be a cool feature for the future as well. That's a really really good entry! And now I'll go back and hittin the notes

Developer

I think having the graphic for each instrument is a good idea, lets the player know that they're in a new section. Thanks for the feedback!

This is one of the most polished games I've played so far. With a few more songs, it could totally pass for a full game. No one would suspect it was made from scratch in just a week! I hit 40115 on my first try thanks to how lenient the game is on the timing.  Great game!

By the way.. the "funkiness" option in the settings.. does it do anything?

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! And no the funkiness does absolutely nothing, because the game is already set to max funkiness. It's just a joke we threw in for fun

Really good game idea and graphics style! Good job!

It´s probably a bad score but it´s extremly funny! I want to play all day now, amazing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It takes a few tries to get used to it, best score I've seen though is about 170k!

Definitely the best game in this jam. Super fun, addicting, amazing work. I hope you will continue to develop this game and add more songs, co-op, multiplayer and many more features. My high score is 141420.

P.S. I found a glitch in the game that allows missing notes but still counting them in my streak.

P.S .S My record is 175040. Is this the highest you have seen?

Developer(+1)

thank you so much! And yes we're planning on adding a ton to it. Also thanks for letting us know about that bug, we'll look into it

Submitted(+1)

The bug occurs only in the rewind  phase when the tape is rewinding. If you press K while it happens it counts as good hit.

I LOVE THE AESTHETICS ON THIS GAME, the graphics are cool and the game play is really fun, the concept for the theme is well interpreted and makes for an interesting rhythm game, the color palette used is also pretty funky and pleasing to look at, definitely one that i'll keep playing again and again

Developer

Thanks for playing! We're gonna keep working on it after the jam too so keep an eye out for updates!

Great game!! Love the art and great music!! Enjoyed it alot!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

That was a lot of fun! I really love the funkiness and great job on the music! Only criticism is that I don't know what the option for funkiness does. 

Best score was 138,685 points with 4 misses and 10 bads, 14 goods and 438 perfects. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing! Glad to see you enjoyed the music. The funkiness option was honestly meant as a joke, it doesn't really do anything besides scroll through a couple strings lol.

Submitted(+1)

Really love the retro theme and the implementation of the rewind system well done! :)

Developer

glad you enjoyed it :)
