In what way does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme in two ways: 1. We went with a retro GameBoy aesthetic to "rewind time." 2. Being a rhythm game, our core gameplay mechanic is to rewind through a track multiple times, allowing the player to try different instruments as the difficulty increases.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes 99% of the code was written by us during this jam. All art, music, and most sfx were also created by us during the jam from scratch.

Gnarly visuals and funky tunes! The game itself is quite compact but has a cozy feel that manages to capture that retro style. It would be neat if there were notes that needed to be held, and it was amusing that you could still earn points while the track was rewinding.
Thanks! lmao i totally forgot to turn off the buttons on the rewind. I guess if you were precise and fast enough you could get DOUBLE the points.
Love the art style and music. Just addictive but really hard right off the bat.
Also DEFGECD...
Glad that you enjoy the game!
Also ;)
I love the audio and graphics. It feels like a really funky game boy color game. I had to crank the funky setting to 11.
Thanks lol. Crank that funky to Omega Funk Town.
Love this game so much! The idea of rewinding music and playing different instrument is awesome! Love the graphic and the music!
Thanks! See yall in 170 ;)
Haha! Didn't notice you're from ucsc too. Awesome!
Really great graphics and fantastic mellow music. I had a great time playing this, if I had any suggestions it would be to use keyboard keys that are further apart. I found following the melody relatively easy, but when it came to the double notes, I kept instinctively pressing keys that were further apart like on the game.
Thanks! I agree with some of the notes being confusing. After a bit(just playing the game 100s of times to make sure it all works) of practice I was able to do it almost perfectly, however I constantly found it hard to press with index finger on one hand and middle finger on the other. Not sure why lol.
Man, this game gives me such a good vibe, especially the "You ROCK!" at the end in compressed format. Looks like a really good concept for a full release with different chiptunes.
Thanks haha. When Riko (the person who did all the audio) sent me that file I felt the same way.
So cute!
Thanks!
Its soooo funkyyy. I like it A LOT ^^
We appreciate it, thanks for playing!
good game and great idea well done.
thank you so much!
What can I say, it's a fun game even thought I'm terrible at it I couldn't stop playing.
And it goes without saying, amazing soundtrack and also presentation.
don't worry I'm terrible too, thanks for playing!
Great idea , nicely made. A small click sound or feedback in general for the different hits and misses would help adjust timing. Good song for the concept, it evolves nicely with each instrument.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely try to get that in.
Great rhythm game! The soundtrack is bloody amazing
Thanks! Glad to see you enjoy the soundtrack
I like the idea of rewinding the cassete tape! Also the audio is great! I'd like more feedback when you either hit or miss a note. Also the game seems to start off really hard, maybe ramp up difficulty over time instead. Great Game!
Noted, thanks for the feedback!
