A really cool game and really well polished, well done!

Submitted

This is such a fun and polished game! I really liked the idea that you're aiming to be as slow as possible first so you can over take yourself. All the mechanics were easily communicated and the difficulty curve was well thought out! Great job, hope you're able to keep working on it after the jam :)

Very cool and clever concept. I like the tape, the rewind effect, and the fact that you have to think ahead and make sure to make yourself lose on the way back while still making it in time for the initial race. I get why not allow me to control the character other than jumping, otherwise I can cheat by standing still for the rewind part, but it can be really hard to guage when to stop and it feels like you only get one chance and that's it...it's restart if you miss it. Maybe work more than ony way to help you win the second time around so that I don't have to restart each time I missed the "slow down" power down etc. Overall, nicely executed!

Great game! I'd suggest making it a bit more fast-paced.

This is a great first submission. A cool interpretation of the theme and an interesting mechanic. I also like your art for the video tape guy.

I lack of control of the player felt a bit frustrating at times, as I would be waiting a long time for the guy to auto run himself to where he needed to be, might be worth experimenting with a more traditional platformer style control.

Nice work!

Really nice game!

I really like the music, all the neon colours and the VHS tape / retro theme :)

Would have been nice if I could choose to restart the whole race or just the rewind leg. Also, the jump felt a little floatier than I prefer, but I still had fun playing :)

This is an awesome take on the theme! Really lovin' the retro vibe too. The neon colors look great. :D

I was a bit confused with how to play at first, but I didn't read the description lol! The level design helped me learn the rules and mechanics though. Because the first ones are fairly short, I could easily just restart and apply what I learned. This is a really awesome approach! 

Great job overall. Congrats on your first game jam! :)

Interesting take on the theme. That art was cute and different.

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

Really nice game! I enjoyed the idea and the levels do a good job introducing it to the player. The audio also felt really nice, and the voice reminded me of smash bros. I really liked it, well done! 

Would appreciate if you could also rate my game :)
