Ranked from 17 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
We have interpreted "Rewind" as something going backwards like how air is sucked inwards when vacuuming. So in this game you rewind using you vacuum cleaner to suck up all the trash laying around. Furthermore, by sucking up all the trash, the room rewinds back to its original clean state.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We have written all the code in the game and 3D modelled the player character ourself. the remaining assets like 3D models and sounds were found.

interesting take on the theme. not sure if it really fits, but the game is a lot of fun, so I can let that slide! Good job!

Heck man, y'all need more ratings.  This is honestly one of the most fun games I've played in the jam.  Typically when I see the rope wrapping around things in other games it's just a gimmick, but here it's a very, VERY fun and interesting puzzle mechanic that is easy and quick to understand without explanation.  Very solid execution.  Well done, sirs.

Wow thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :D

Really nice idea, I liked it! You can actually keep playing and get all stars once the timer has run out, so that's something to fix. But overall good game, keep it up!

Would appreciate if you could also check out my game and leave a rating :)

I like the effort on this one. I did have problems plugging in, but it was probably me.

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

The power cord is a clever mechanic and it's implemented well.
This game reminds me of Good Job!. Both games involve working / doing chores. Same goes for a game like Job Simulator. The difference with those game and this game, is that those games derive their fun from the player being able to mess around. I think that, for me, that's what's missing from this game. The player can't make any mistakes or wreak havoc. Maybe the player could vacuum up a carpet, or the clothes of an employee, leaving them in their underwear. Maybe they can suck up someone's lunch, laptop, documents, wig, etc. Maybe you could make people trip over the power cord, or knock over tables and chairs. That's where a lot of fun could come from. However, that would probably be a lot of work as well, and would be out of scope for a jam.

I think you have a great mechanic here which could become part of a great game!

I'd really appreciate it if you would have a look at my game as well, and be sure to download the smaller version :D

The idea of being connected by a cable that can be pulled by the enviroment is very interesting has potential for interesting puzzles. I liked playing the game, good job!

A really cool game with a great idea for a puzzle mechanic.

very cool take on the theme. i like the cable physics and how i had to untangle myself to unplug it. i was able to keep playing after the level timer ran out so i kinda cheated a little to get 100% on all levels :P

Great interpretation of the theme. I like the 2,5d kinda look and it's a funny idea to make a game about a guy with a vacuum :D

I'd love to have an option to sprint in the game though, add a way to speed through the game if you're skilled enough. Maybe you could even yank the plug out of the wall if you sprint away from it to improve your time.

True a sprint option might have been nice to have. We thought about being able to run out of range and yank the plug out, but we decided against it as it would create an unwated strategy and perhaps cause unwanted frustration when done unintentionally.

i like the how you used the theme, and the cable physics was really cool.
