In what way does your game fit the theme?
This difficult racing game requires you to constantly rewind the wind-up key to your toy car that you can drive around a bedroom.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I made everything myself. The only thing I did not code was the original car controls and camera controls.

Cool Concept! Like how you used the theme and its fun/frustrating to try and get to the box with the crazy amount of drift hahah. The biggest thing I would say can be improved is the camera. I feel like the sensitivity is too high and the camera may be too close to the car. Great job!
thanks for the feedback !
Liked your take on the theme. A car is a bit hard to control, but you can get used to it
Thank you!
Nice concept of "rewinding". The timer also adds pressure to it what makes it a good challenge. The driving mechanics are a bit difficult to master. Maybe you should place a wet floor sign in the levels :D
Haha yeah. its icy. added more friction after submission
The idea is good, the game design is really cool. Being so tiny in a giant room is awesome but the car control is really hard, it often slides with anything. And the rewinding mechanic is not something very special, instead of holding a button to accelerate you just tap it and that tires you finger. After the jam work on a few updates and this game would be very fun to play, I would even play it again!
Nice work on the game, my friend, you did a good job!
Thank you! appreciate the feedback
Cute little racing game. Love the style and the different levels. The car is difficult to control even when it probably shouldn't be, like going up a ramp straight on. Also you can just touch the shoebox from the side and it still counts. Great game, well done!
Thanks!
I'm impressed by the quality of the assets. and the game was fun!
Also, i found a little bug when arriving at the shoebox at the very last second. it shows the "gameover" and "you win" screen at the same time.
thank you for the feedback! i will have to fix that issue
As the description says its difficult but its fun. <3
thank you for playing it. glad you had fun
You are welcome. :)
Nice idea and environment. I feel like with the current state of the game, it doesn't feel right constantly right clicking. It doesn't really add anything. If you were to only speed forward on the down of rewind, that may add the thing it's missing. Also, drifting is frustrating yet does add a bit of challenge. Otherwise, nice beginning of a game!
Thank you! i understand its hard. i added more friction to make it better to control after submission. appreciate the feedback
Enjoyable game. Felt like i was in Toy Story for a few minutes.
Only thing i was really struggling with were the camera controls. I would have liked to inverse them but it's more of a personal preference i think.
Good job ^^ Would have loved more parcours challenges :)
yeah the camera controls were changed after submission. thank you for the feedback. i like the parkour challenges too
The game was really cool and the use of rewind in the game was good. The only problem that i had was the camera movement was kinda too fast and the car was really hard to steer
yeah i agree. thanks for the feedback
I did the idea of playing w a wind up car in a kid's bedroom. My one recommendation is to add a sound que when the wind up meter is gone. Nice job! Keep it up!
That's a good idea. thanks!
Nice!
A really cool idea as a way to use the theme. I'd have liked it a little better if perhaps the winding actually just made you go forward by itself as an accelerator, as the way that it is just meant that I was just driving around while clicking repeatedly. I really liked the style and gameplay though, it was cool to slide it around!
I loved playing this game and I see soo much potential if you do some changes.

Really impressed with the game and the room looks amazing. Really reminded me of playing with toy cars as a kid. Check out my game too when you have a chance. I would love your feedback <3
Thanks for this awesome post! Thanks for the feedback! There is a restart feature in the pause menu. I should mention that in the description
Nice game and aesthetics. Controls feel a little slippery and I feel that clicking doesn't add much to the game. Maybe if the initial wind-up was all you got that and you'd have to stop at the right place could be better (although that wouldn't fit the theme).
i agree. the friction was changed after the submission process was over and its much better to control. The wind-up mechanic was kinda hard to choose what to do. i like the mechanic right now, but I think it needs some type of improvement
We loved the game! It's so much fun drive and drift around the room, the only thing that it's really anoying it's the camera control, because it's inverted controls to rotate it. Also we played your game listening to Inital D ost's after finishing all levels to have more fun xD!
haha that's awesome! thanks for the feedback
Really nice game. LOVED the room art great work!!
thank you
Good job I like the idea and its really fun to play but I think you could get more wind time as it just feels like I am just spamming the mouse all the time to keep going
definitely agree on that! thanks for the feedback
Thank you!
Music is interesting. I love drifting the car. I wish there was more time to explore the room. Nice job on the 3d enviornment!
yeah i should add a room with no timer for the player to explore
