It is about having to rewind some VHS tapes in order to get them to play in a platform style

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made everything in this game from scratch!

This game was creative in its use of 2D platforming! We had the same title, and I'm really impressed that it's all made by you from scratch. Very cool.

Developer

Thanks!!

I'll start of with saying that this is a good game, and I can imagine that it would have been hard to make. However, I have some constructive feedback: 

1) While the game is in line with the theme, you should really incorporate rewinding somehow as a gameplay mechanic itself. This is not to "better align with the theme", as it is already aligned with the theme, but instead to make the game stand out from other games of the same genre. It's a fun game, but it's a generic one. 

2) Level design. While some levels being a bit tedious is completely fine, having the only unique thing from level to level be the increase in how tedious they are is extremely repetitive- the levels should make the player think. And I have a theory on why this happened: the level design itself isn't the problem, but the issue I mentioned above is. The only gameplay feature this game has (aside from reaching certain checkpoints to rewind), is blocks that flicker in and out of existence. 

However, it is a good game nevertheless! I had fun playing the game :)

Developer

Thanks for the constructive feedback and for trying my game!  I will have to keep it in mind.

Submitted

Good job!

Developer

thanks!

The flow of the game is great! The controls and the simplicity were in great combination for the player who just started.  With more time, I think you could polish a little bit the visuals. Great work, friend!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah I may go back afterwards and at least polish the jumping so you aren't sticking

Submitted

Glad to hear!

If you have time, check out our game too!

Have a nice day, friend!

Super fun game to play. The graphics are really funny for me and the game isn't to hard to finish it which in my opinion is really important. The controllers are smooth and enjoyable. 

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Nice game,and it's impressive that you did it all yourself!

Mine has a similar theme, if you want to check it out, it's also my first jam

Developer

Thanks! I just checked yours out as well!

Submitted

Cool game! I like the art style a lot! Had fun and enjoyed it!

Congrats on your first game jam experience. This is my second. Did the first one about a month ago. Good job for a first entry. Levels weren't too difficult and the visuals were good.

Please rate and play my game too: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/723414

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate you trying the game!

Submitted

We almost had the same name with our games apparently, ahahah. Despite being a very classical platformer and the fact that collisions were a bit weird sometimes, I really enjoyed the levels. They were challenging enough and the art and sound tied them together nicely. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, apparently a lot of us had the same idea for names lol.  I am glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks!

Submitted

Oh man, throwback to good ol' Blockbuster Video! Nice work on your first jam!

Developer

Yep, good ol' Blockbuster!  A lot of memories going there as a kid lol.  Thanks!

Submitted

nostalgia nostalgia nostalgia I lovvvvveee it

You earned a rating from me for sure❤❤👌😎

Developer

Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Loved the retro music and visuals! Really enjoyed your work! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I appreciate it!!

What the hell is a BBVideo lol. 3 mins, nice game, but there's the sticky wall thinkg that makes it a bit annoying. Good job here!

Developer(+1)

BBvideo is a nod to the old Blockbuster Video store lol.  I am glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for trying it!

Submitted

I will just look that up in Google, I guess hehe

Submitted

really fun game! There's a slight issue that you stick to the wall when jumping, it's kinda annoying but every thing else was great :) The graphics and the music was really cool! Great job on making the game!

Developer

Yeah, the wall sticking thing was definitely a little buggy lol.  I am glad you enjoyed it though, thanks!

Submitted

Took me around 3mins to beat. Once I learned you could jump again after touching even the bottom of a block. Had a nice megaman floating platform vibe.

Developer

Nice!  Yeah it is pretty much a speedrun game and that tactic definitely helps to finish faster!  Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

The game was pretty nice. I suck at game and I got 4 minutes something.

Developer

Thanks! The fastest time I have seen was 1:21, but my personal best is 1:28.  I am glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Awesome job, especially with this being your first jam! The disappearing platforms reminded me of classic Mega Man.

I noticed you stick to the walls. One hack I do in Unity is just sticking a second collider with no friction on the character. If it's shorter than the main collider, you keep the friction on your feet, but slide down walls.

Developer

Thanks!  I appreciate the feedback.  I will have to keep that trick in mind.  

Submitted

I liked the audio a lot. Great game for your first game jam.

Developer

Thanks! I had fun making the audio!

Submitted

Pretty good level desgin and the sound effects were very fitting :)

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate it!
