Nice work, we aproached theme the same way. I like the art and arcade gameplay.

Looks nice I like what you did here, there was an issue with layers when I played that put some tapes behind the player squares but overall was a neat little game.

This is a simple addictive game. Good job!

Well, I got up to 41! This game is quite amusing. I think if you polish this up a bit and maybe expand on the idea by adding more content, this could work well as a mobile game since it has that "one button accessibility". Good game.

I like this game. The "tutorial" is weird, but besides that, it's cool. One of the few 3D games. I like the graphics too and the music is cool. If you end up continuing with development, a "Highscore" system would be dope.

The graphics are really nice! I think the rate of vhs tapes arriving could probably be increased, as I was able to rewind all of them by just using the left 2 rewinders (like someone else said, I couldn't get higher than 39). Also I accidentally dragged the tapes behind the rewinders which seemed to be a glitch. With some more gameplay mechanics like ways to increase the time or different tapes you have to put in different places, the game could be interesting! :)

Edit: oh also, some sound effects for putting tapes into rewinders and getting them out would be quite satisfying

Great artstyle!

The art assets look really cool and the way you made the VHS tapes float in the air is really impressive. Mechanics are also one of a kind. But what i really like the most is the art style and gameplay. Awesome work!

I dont really get the theme, all i know is VHS tapes are old.

Very nice. Good times of VHS.

Definitely a fun game you got here! I played a few times through and I was only able to get 39 as my highest score. Not sure if that is intended to be a maximum score or if I'm just bad but I feel like there should be a way to increase the amount of time you have left to keep the game going so people can get higher and higher scores. Enjoyed the game!

Really cool Idea, I would definitely play more if it had more content. I'm amazed, the way you need to be fast and get your clicks right. Please make a mobile version with more content after the jam, I would definitely download!

Pretty relaxing game with an interesting take on the theme and good 3D graphics

This game is pretty good! I can definitely see this being some sort of clicker like game. It's a fresh take on that idea, and added some more skill to it, and really makes sense thematically. I just wish there was more to it, like adding more rewinders, or making it harder to pull them out to really drive the theme home. One thing I think would help a lot is adding customers, and having to take the tapes from them. It would add a lot of personality to this game and help it to stand out more.
