Thank you! Honestly this is the best thing I could've heard from a review. I knew there were some design issues, but we weren't able to fix them in time. 

Otherwise, it sounds like you generally liked it outside of those issues, which is great to hear!

Thank you! Much appreciated! 😁

LIVE. DIE. REPAIR.

I was the Programmer and Level Designer on this project!!

Hope you all have as much fun as I did making it!

Let us know what you think!

This game has such a good atmosphere. From the music to the look and feel of the game. Everything makes it such a good game to just be in, let alone play.

It's a platformer at it's core, and the platforming challenges are...well...challenging! In a good way. You probably will die multiple times, but the game doesn't punish you for it.

For a game made as quickly as it was, this is a quite good game!

Yeah, apologies for that. I though I fixed it but I guess I uploaded the wrong one?

Anyway, you need to hit enter.

Hi there, first time jammer here too! I really liked this idea. The way you have to think waaaay ahead in order to do something is really interesting.

My only gripe is that the game feels a little tight. Like you move really quickly in these tight spaces. And that's normally fine, but sometimes it requires me to record again because the button is really close to the button.

Otherwise, I think you guys have a very interesting concept going here!

Hey everyone! Super excited to see what everyone creates! As the title says, this is my first game jam. I've made a couple games before this, but this is my first one made in such a short time.

The game is a platformer with a unique mechanic, the level functions as a VHS player. Fully equipped with a play, pause, rewind (of course), fast forward, etc.

This game is not easy, but you can get better at it the more you play.

Good luck to all! Make sure to rewind to the end!

Hi there! First Jammer here as well! I played a bit of this and it seems genuinely interesting. The idea that you have to heal your enemies, but they still try to hurt you is really unique!

My only issue is the tutorial. It's never clear what you're supposed to press in order to advance the dialog. I actually figured out the controls before I figured out how to advance the dialog. Also, the way the text wraps is kind of awkward and can be hard to read at a glance.

Otherwise, I think the concept is pulled off pretty well! The variety of enemies is nice, although once melee enemies come in it becomes a necessity to always run away. I think if you could slow them down and maybe vary their approach to you (say one is direct but another tries to flank you) that would be interesting.

Overall though, for it being your first completed game (and made in a week at that) I think you did very well!

I wish you the best! And if you want to check out my submission, here's the link!
