In what way does your game fit the theme?
(Download the standalone version for the full experience!)
The player uses the keyboard to play notes. When they miss one, they can rewind the song to play the missed note. Hit R (usually) to rewind up to 3 seconds of the song. Also, the fact that I focus on older songs is a sort of rewind of the music industry in a way ^.^
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code is my own.
The girl model on the main menu is from Mixamo. The music is obviously not mine. The main menu song is from Asset Store and the sounds are from FreeSound.org.

I like the twist on the theme!! Really cool mechanics, nice job :)
Cute game. Like the intro. Was a throwback to guitar hero. I think the girl was doing the chicken dance to heavy metal. lol.
It wasn't too hard. Liked the effort!
Could you please play and rate my game as well?

lots of fun! Really enjoyed it!
add my own song? that's what i'm talking about. good job!
Thank you!
i got 97 on Mettalica!!!!!!
Just by pressing every all keyboard letters at the same time but i dont use the rewind because you lose time by pressing the r; but nice game
Thank you!
please try my game
Really cool concept, I love rhythm games! Unfortunately it was a bit laggy which is something you really don't want in a rhythm game. The graphics were cool and I liked the little character!
Thank you!
Nice game! Loved the songs although more would have been great . Despite that had lot of fun playing it
Thank you!
Cute take on guitar hero. I love the pencil in the cassette rewind animation! :P
Thank you!
Got 93% on Metallica first try. More content (or at least full songs) would have been nice.
I know, these took a loooong time though. Maybe in the future! :)
I applaud you... I've been wanting to make a rhythm game for a while now. I've been a musician for twenty years and a programmer for 30, and I do not even want to begin to have to figure it out.
The game was very pretty, too, but my computer is made of dog crap, so the lag was rough.
Thank you so much!
Man, the browser version is pretty laggy.
But the standalone version wasn't for me! The timing was a bit off, but you already talked about that, so no need to go into it. Quite fun to play, definitely hit me with the nostalgia hammer c:
Thank you! I love old music so the nostalgia was strong with this one xD
this game was alot of fun to play. i didn't have a problem with lag but i can see how people might. and the music was a bit off sometimes but that was already mentioned so all in all good work. try my game out if you get a chance
Thank you! I surely will!

Cool way of adding the theme. Sometimes there is a bit of lag when hitting notes because of particles I guess. (pretty new laptop that I'm using) and while playing the queen song it felt weird that the notes didn't match the music at all times.
I had some issues with synchronizing the music to the movement. For some reason, it acts completely differently from one PC to another. It can be tweaked though :). Thank you for playing!
The game is pretty laggy. I think you should reduce amount of particles.
It wasn't laggy for me in the standalone version but apparently it's pretty laggy on most computers. It is the particles, yes. I will remove some of them in a future release
I love the feeling, with the character animation & music xD I really like how alive the game feels.
Not usually my type of game but it's a fun concept from time to time.
For the cons I see that it's lagging a lot on my pc which is supposed to handle correctly. It made the gameplay quite choppy which ruins the experience :/
Congratz for what you did :) Come look at my game if you'd like : https://hadilepanda.itch.io/corewind
Thank you! About the lag, are you talking about the browser version or the standalone? The browser lags a lot for me too but the standalone works properly on the PCs I've tried.
On PC with the standalone version, it might come from me because pressing windows makes the game unfreeze. Perhaps it has to do with the fullscreen mode?
It's because of the amount of particles. It worked pretty well during play testing. I will reduce the amount of particles in a future release
