It is a great puzzle game, neat and polished. The only thing, in my opinion, the use of the theme is weak. If you remove the soldiers but a robot the puzzling mechanic would be the same. I think rewind needs a bigger presence.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
In my game, you control wind-up soldiers who need to rewind in order to complete puzzles. If they aren't winded up enough, they will freeze in place and you will have to restart.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Absolutely.

I like this concept a lot actually and the iso perspective was a nice way to have me focus real hard on where to place the arrows at. Colors are nice and it brings a lot of old school vibes. Great work! Please check out our game if you can.

Winder WalkersGood game, the level design is great. never had a moment where i didn't know what i needed to do. puzzles are challenging but over the top and the graphics are simple yet vibrant.

Time To RewindI like it. It looks amazing, and the sound effects are great. the levels are difficult enought to keep me entertained and not make me quite the game because they're too hard. Well done!

Hero's CurseThis is a really big brain game, but my brain isn't that big, so I'll beat it later. Even if I used the guide for two levels, I still have my pride!
It's reaaaaally cool, I'm liking it a lot, and I swear those puzzles are a really cool challenge!
Also, this would be a really good mobile game

RewindRushSimply a great puzzle game, the dragging mechanic was a little tricky to get used to at first, my mouse couldn't always seem to pick up the pieces but overall it's very well done and sucks you in, can't stop playing it! I appreciate how candid you are about drifting away from the theme, and hey i mean the guy is a toy soldier with a little windy thing so it still fits ;)
This game made me think a lot! The puzzles did get increasingly difficult as new gimmicks are introduced as well as being tied with old ones. The graphics are crisp and simple and the sound didn't interrupt my focus at all. Although the music does loop, there seems to be a long pause in between. Although there isn't much rewind, I think the act of "rewinding" the stage and the turning motions of the soldiers lends itself to fit in enough. Definitely has the feel of a finished game, and I think other puzzle enthusiasts should give it a try!
