Really great game and very polished as well! The gameplay loop is very satisfying and the game is charming overall. Amazing job!

I had a bug where I couldn't interact with anything (objects didn't light up).

This was a joy to play! I did find myself accidentally reinserting tapes when I had already rewound them. Presentation was fantastic, and the gameplay loop was engaging. 

Well done to the team!

Amazing. Super simple concept and kind of addicting to play... My only gripe is picking up the VHS, it was a little finicky getting the right VHS, and sometimes they would be placed inside each other. But otherwise is was a solid little game.

I left the clients angry kkkkk. 

Good conception and jogability. 

Nice submission.

Really nice game, I like the idea and the visuals also feel really nice. The detail of the candy is great!

The game is kind of laggy which makes it less fun than what it could be, maybe a quality option for the player to choose would be nice. But apart from that, good entry, keep it up!

Would be awesome if you could check out my game too and leave a rating, thanks :)

Things I liked, honestly this whole game was a lot more fun than I expected it to be. I loved the fast pace management of all the tapes and I got to say after awhile I even found myself talking back to the customers as if they were actually there XD. The candies where also nicely done as they allow enough brevity for the player to hold out till they find a tape someone actually wants.  I can tell you also had a lot of fun with the naming conventions behind a lot of the movies, very nice touch!

Things I dislike, normally this list would be longer but you actually catch a lot of that in your disclaimer so well done on that XD. The only thing i'll say then is that I feel like your game would definitely benefit from some sort of career mode or story thing to help interest the player along. I was actually fairly motivated to see each next day, out of the simple challenge of having to manage extra genres, but having some sort of story or characters to follow along with would elevate this from simple game jam to full on GAME. (no jam included)

Overall this is probably the game iv most enjoyed playing in this jam so far! Hope you keep working on it so I can see what a full game version will look like!

First, A big THANK YOU to everyone that has played and rated our game, it really means a lot to us! For anyone coming in blind (or is frustrated with the game) here's what you should know:

- Between levels you may no longer be able to select anything. Just restart the game to fix this, your progress is saved

- The Downloaded game will not be less buggy, but it will run smoother than the Web version

- Camera Speed can be adjusted to your liking in the Settings Menu

- There is no tutorial, check the How to Play page and try your best on the first level

- If you drop a tape on the ground you won't be able to grab it

- Customers can (and often do) ask for movies that you don't have. You can mitigate this by giving them candy to calm them until you get the required movie, or you can just let them get angry and allow a different customer to fill their place

There are other bugs too, but these seem to be the most common. Hope this helps!

Great approach to the theme. I couldnt play that much cause my pc has low specs and was laggy.  Maybe a low-med-high quality setting.
