Nice implementation. Option to use game controller would be nice to have for future !

Nice game!
Things I liked:
>Controls: I actually felt you did a really good job, especially with the limited time you had, getting controls that felt like i couldn't just hold forward the whole time.
>Graphics (how did you make the cars?): I quite liked the low poly aesthetic, took me back to Daytona Racing ;)
Things to improve:
>Audio: Some background music would have been great and some revving/tire-screech sounds would be nice too; I did love the starting beep sound effects though haha, they sounded a bit like mini farts haha I got a laugh out of them (even if that wasn't your intention, I think it was better having them than not).
>Theme: I thought 'rewinding through your career' was a bit of a cop-out, so I felt the game adherence to the theme was a bit weak; although I'm also glad that you didn't just add a rewind button to undo crashes, that would have made the game pretty bad in my opinion.
Overall quite an enjoyable and fun game!

Rewind BullethellThanks, appreciate the feedback!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkg7Ol2jEjs did this blender car tutorial a while back and used the same method.
Controls are a bit harsh and collisions need to be improved, but you made the game in one week, so that's understandable. maybe add controller support in the future, since it's better for racing games. The graphics look nice and the game is enjoyable. It lacks sound effects though, hope you'll update it after the jam. Also, the rewind of the career is an original idea. Good job

MoonlightI was always awful playing racing games because I hate to use breaks. This game is in a next level cause I had to hold back to break haha. I think it would be cool if you had had some music and a rewind mechanic to stop a collision.

Can Pirates Do That?Things I enjoyed, I think you had a really good racing feel! The actual drag of the car while turning was very heavy but that is the entire point of racing games, you have to balance speed with control and I honestly want to applaud you for not taking the easy way out with that. In addition I also want to say good job on not resorting to the "you can rewind time while racing gimmick". It technically would be the easiest one to do but it has been done obsessively in this jam (although I am not blaming anyone who does) as well as in forza.
Things I didn't like, despite the overall turning and momentum being pretty good the collisions in the game felt very wonky and one-sided. Any time you hit or get hit by another car you are thrown out of control while the other car just careens ahead. It should be a general rule of thumb to fall back on that whatever happens to "me" should have just as equally a chance to happen to "them", or at the very least appear equal. If your not going to do that (probably due to time constraints) then give the player a story to believe why it's one-sided, such as maybe the car they are entering with is the granddads old handmedown and its all they have and its very difficult to clash with as a result.
Overall though I think it's awesome you made a racing game! I hope you continue to make more and learn and build even better games in the future!

100 Year DungeonThis is a good game, but the cars turn a bit slowly and it should be a bit easier to turn, but the graphics were nice. Nice game!
Submitted
Backwards BattleGood job for making all this stuff from zero! I would have more fun with your game if the general pyhsics of the car were less stiff. I can't find the right word to describe the movement of the car, but it's very hard to control! There is no way to make well done curves. I loved the sfx of the traffic light :D!

Tape CollectorsCool game, i would recommend adding controller support though, racing games do play best on a controller

Drake Madduck Is Lost In TimeNice simplistic graphics, the countdown sound was good fun at first then got anoying.
Not a fan of the car handling.

Advance, Rewind, RepeatFun game! The cars turn too slowly. The game looks great.

The Rewind Factory (gamejam)Interesting idea to make progression from Champion to Rookie, although the game definitely needs some tweaking. I'm fine with having 90 degree turns, but the car should be able to turn much easier. The tracks do feel very long, I think they could use less laps. It's also very easy to drive over the walls and out of the track. I like the environments, they look really nice as well as the car models.

Hook HeistGame was nice, but probably could use some polish like particle effects and sound effects for when the cars are driving.
Submitted
Rewind RaceIt is a very interesting concept, but what needs work is the track. Too many 90 degree hairpin turns ruin the momentum of the cars.
Submitted
Shuriken showdownIts fun to play but steering angle was a little weird to get used to. And you can maybe make the ai cars turn a little more naturally. Also, the game looks great!

Glance of gloomy pastReally liked the option to look back, good idea to include it! The graphics work well together and it's fun to play :)

Venture To The BeginningThe audio is the best :D :D :D So funny.
The game looks great and works perfectly, but it's the common car race that you can find in every game. I think it's the intention, then, it's ok. It has a very great thinks, like when you see the racing circuit before run on it.
The collisions make the game slowly and no enjoyable. Also, I think that 5 laps is to much for test and rate the game.
Good job.

REWIND do it right
