Ranked from 30 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?
A few ways:

- There is a rewind time mechanic in the 3rd level
- The goal of each level is to rewind an audio cassette by clicking on pencils (ya know, how we used to do it "back in the day")
- The aesthetic of the game itself from graphic themes & music is a nostalgic rewind to the 80's

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote a bunch of the core game play bits such as:
- Game Manager which handles clickable object spawning, pooling, progress, states, etc (it quickly turned into a beast of a script)
- Menu button actions & scene transition logic/timing
- Tape Deck button actions and unlock logic

With the exception of the Rewind ability icon, all assets were gathered either from the Unity Asset store or free assets available online (such as the clickable object models)

Though they are royalty free, I want to give credit where credit is due:

I couldn't seem to get past the first level. After it said level complete, the 'Next Level' button wouldn't work. I like the graphics and audio a lot, but that is all i feel comfortable rating without more info.

You need to single click menu items.  Double clicking them will stack up next level async loads and mess things up.  Please give it another go if you have time.

I enjoyed playing your game. Some feedbacks:

  • It has some good VFX. Combined with the music, it definitely has some good retro feel
  • Gameplay feels similar to duck hunt mechanic, where you wait for something to appear on the screen & you use your reflexes to hit it. 
    •  In the 1st level, all the pencils fall directly from above, and i was too quick for me to aim at them. The 2nd & 3rd level was better, where the items are thrown from below.
    • I don't think that there is any mechanic that give you the urgency to hit them though, felt like I can just take my time.
  • Nice that several things in the game relate to the theme. 

Thank you for letting me play this game!

Do play & rate mine too if you can :)
