In what way does your game fit the theme?
This game is about Rewind, who lives in the cassette. You need to dodge obstacles. But there are some of them, you can't dodge. To avoid them you need to rewind cassette (change direction of running).
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, indeed

The perfect rage game. I agree with the previous commenter that starting a bit slower would probably increase the fun, right now it's very unforgiving. Another option would be to have the rewind function always be available, but with a cool down, so it's a gamble to use it because maybe an unavoidable obstacle will come right after.
Would appreciate if you could have a look at my game also. It's only my second game ever, only started with gamedev earlier this year.
Very cute and nice game play. cool flappy bird kind of vibes with a nice twist with the rewind mechanic. One suggestion I could make would be to start a bit slower. It came in pretty hot from the get go and I struggled to get very far without having an opportunity to get used to the feel of the game first. Nice work though!
Thank you so much! Really means a lot to us
Not a problem. If you have a moment we'd love your ranking on our game. We only need x2 more to rank. Hope you have a good day :)
This is so cute... love the art! But the game play was too unforgiving. A background track would've been a very nice addition to set the atmosphere.
Thank you so much! Im so happy you liked the art!

A bit too difficult, but really gorgeous to look at. Nice job!
Thank you! Really appreciate it
Cute game - nice polish. Great work!
Thank you so much!!
Nice game is just a little difficult to react, I love the art.
Thank you!
It was a really fun and simple game. I loved the simplicity of the game and how it did more in less. If you added some background music, it would be way better and also the jump should be based on the time the button is pressed. This will make the game much more fun. But apart from these, pretty cool game.
Could you please rate my game too? It would mean a lot to me.
Loved how fun this was. A didn't work for me, but didn't take too much out of it. Visuals were appealing too.
Could you please play and rate my game too?

Thanks! We'll check out your entry.
Cool game.
There is a bug when you press "A" at the same time as the player collide an orange obstacle, the game rewind in loop ("Stuck on the rewind state").
I would be happy if we can control the jump strength to get more control and if the collider of the player was smaller (because sometimes I feel angry with it =D)
Anyway, the game is really enjoyable and it's really hard to get more than 20 points
Thank you!
I like games like this one, simple but very polished. I read that the "A" should be use for some obstacle, unfortunately I wasn't good enough to encounter them lol Overall a really nice entry, great job!
Thanks for playing! These kind of obstacles should appear when you get about 10 points.
Actually, 5 points.
A nice and stylish endless runner, with all the addictiveness of a game like flappy bird. Just needs some music!
Thank you! Yea, it would be nice to add music
i didn't understand what "a" is doing, but overall the game is cool
Thanks! Yea, the 'a' mechanic is not really obvious, it works only when you reach the red obstacle you cant jump over or crouch under it.
The graphics is great! It fits the gameplay well. The space of the game is a little small, so my reaction time is a little slowed, but I had fun regardless. It would be so cool if you add some funky tunes in the background. The SFX makes me smile. The one thing I found is that I can't change direction when I pressed "A". Other keys worked fine. Great job!
Thank you! I guess the 'a' mechanic is not really obvious, it works only when you reach the red obstacle you cant jump over or crouch under it. We should include this information into controlls description somewhere. Thanks for playing!
It's a nice and simple game, but it's a shame that the area where you play is so small compared to the rest of the screen, it makes it hard to focus. But it was fun anyway, good job !
Thanks for playing!
Pretty good, game ! I enjoyed the theme and the gameplay was well-made!
Thank you!
Loved the artstyle and progression of the game. Check out my game too and rate it if you like it.
Thank you! We'll definitely check out your project!
you're right when you say this game is hard, that's not a bad thing though as i really enjoyed it. agree with others that more time to prepare for the obstacle would be nice. i also kept found myself pressing 'D' to try and go forward again rather than 'A'. artwork is amazing!
Aww, thank you so much! Absolutely agree with you about obstacles, we need to change the mechanic. Thank you again!
The art was really good and was very pleasing to look at. I think there needed to be more time to prepare for the obstacles and I think it should start off slower and then get faster the longer you survive. The sound effects were good however I think the game needed some music. The game was fun to play despite its difficulty and it was a clever use of the theme.
I Hope you continue working on it!
Thank you! Really glad you liked the art! Yea, we definitely needed to adjust obstacles mechanic more accurately and add music. Thanks for playing!
I think it could be really cool the obstacles were synced with music so its sort of a pseud rhythm game.
I was thinking about this, but as I'm not a composer at all, it would take a long time to do this. I hope, I'll do this in the near future. Anyways, thanks for trying my game. I really apriciate it!
