In what way does your game fit the theme?
You play as a cassette tape and you leave a tape trail as you move. You can rewind the tape which moves you back to where you were previously, while destroying enemies in your path. Plus the graphics and sound effects help rewind you back to the 80's.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and made most assets from scratch. I did not make the music, fonts or most of the sound effects, but they are all licensed for commercial use. All the attributions are on the game's page. Every other asset was made by me.

Really Nice Game I liked it but couldn't get my head around the rewind mechanic for the first few minutes but it was Fun experience overall. well Done!
Thanks for playing! I like to think it becomes clearer as people play the first level or so.
Good job on the game :D
Thanks : )
I loved the retro graphics and the overall art style and design for the enemies. They were really simple but fit in really well with the neon vhs aesthetic of the 80's. I do think that maybe the difficulty curve, with the yellow cubes is a bit rough as they move really slowly so its hard to get them to line up. Other than that, it's a great game.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! The difficulty is definitely something I will be working on post jam.
Just played your game and... wow. The take on rewinding, and using it as a combat mechanic is super interesting! Although I know you didn't make the music by your answer to Q2, the choice of music is still stellar, and each track fits in perfectly with the pace of the mode. Overall, a super fun game!
Thanks for the wonderful comment! I'm glad you had a fun experience with the game.
I really loved this game's music
Thanks for playing!
Nice graphics, the visuals are incredible! The game is very simple but is super fun! The easy mode is kind of "bleh" but when you start the last level, then the game really starts! It is super fun!!! Please make a mobile port to this, with challenges, different skins, a lot of levels... Work on this idea for a month and there you go, you will have a success game on play store! Great work my friend!
Try my game too! Leave it a rating if you can!
Thanks for the kind words and feedback! I agree the first levels need some fine tuning. For sure will be taking this game further after the jam.
Already played and rated your game, it is great!
Nice! I like the levels. I think health should go down a lot faster.
Thanks for the feedback! Since the levels are long I didn't want it to be too extreme, but the first few levels are a bit easy, and difficulty is on my list of changes for post jam.
I get beatsaber wibes from this I really like it!
While its not a direct inspiration, I can see how you might think so :) Thanks for commenting!
Great game! I really like the graphics and music for this. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!
Really liked the game, I've seen one other game so far that uses the rewind to kill enemies mechanic but you are the first person I've seen use the finite tape length as part of the game.
I wish I could offer more feedback but I think you've executed this idea well and I really can't think of anything, good job!
Hey thanks for the kind comment!
Wow! I loved your game, so far the best I've played. The retro style is impressive along with the music.
The level design is good and I liked that the life bar was hidden if the player passed by.
Excellent game, congratulations.
Please rate mine
Wow thanks so much! For sure I would love to check your game out in a little bit.
The game feel great !! Had so much fun playing it ! Loved the soundtracks and the artstyle. This is a very well made game for a game jam I must say. It was somehow very satisfying. Killing the enemy while rewinding was fun and had some strategic possibilities.
TBH for me, the more difficult the level the easier it was to score points because of the fire rate..
But a great game nonetheless. Awesome job !!! Definitely giving a good rating ✌
I greatly appreciate the comment! Glad to hear you had a fun time playing my game!
i like the rewind mechanic Good Job :D
Thank you!
I liked the rewind mechanic and the limited amount of tape you can use. It added a challenge. Enjoyed the neon art them as well. Fun game
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the game.
Hi, i've played and rated your game. It's really good and i love the design and the music. Well done.
Thanks for playing!
Oh that's a clever implementation of rewind mechanic, the games looks so cool too.
I would just suggest adding some sort of penalty to rewinding because as it is, it's harder to die than to stay alive :D
Thanks a bunch for the feedback! I agree, and a rewind limitation will be added soon after the jam ends.
Loved the aesthetic and the game itself was very addictive
Thanks for the kind comment!
It would be neat if there were a little more visual/audio feedback from killing enemies
Hey thanks for playing, and I appreciate the feedback! I tried to add as much as possible without it being too distracting with the large number of enemies. First you have the enemy flashing, then a sound effect. If you kill one there is a particle explosion. Any more and I think it could be too much when trying to kill several enemies at once.
Actually, your definitely right. That was kinda perfect

I love this theme! Really liked the visuals of your game.
I was a bit unsure about the UI in the beggining, but right away the games demonstrates excellence in this point. It was one of my favorites of this jam. Great job!
Thanks for the comment! So glad you consider this as one of your favorites!
