In what way does your game fit the theme?
It uses machines which the player has to rewind in order to make them act. Additionally, there is a gun with a rope that the player has to also rewind.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. All the specific info in the credits of the game

Fun puzzles! I really appreciate the balance between figuring out the solution and executing it. Never got frustrated with either.
This game is so nice! I like the concept of rewinding a puppet, and I liked the unique shooting mechanism!!

It was hard to make the gun mechanic to properly work. Thank you!!!
What a cute game! I like that, when rewinding a puppet, you have the control of how far you want him to be. I really nice twist to the concept
Thank you, you know I loved yours too!
Lovely game. Last level was really hard, but manage to kill it and reach the princess. Congratulations!
thanks man!
Very lovely. Only real complaint I have is that the jump felt a bit... heavy?
Wow! Neat music, really gave me christmas vibes! Loved the cute elf sprite as well. The jump sound effect seems a tad off but overall a great game! Really enjoyed it!
Rewinding toys is an awesome idea! The platform controls felt good! Awesome job submitting a cool game to the jam, hope you had some good game dev practice! Please check out my game if you haven't :D
The game was a nice challenging level with the theme rewinding toys which was really cool. One thing that I do have to say is I was able to jump over the grim reaper and skip the gun. I didn't realize this until I watched your walk-through. Otherwise, a great game and idea!
I like the idea of being a puppet master xD It is a really nice usage of the theme :)
The game was pretty cool, the sound effects sounded cute! There are minor issues that didn't ruin the overall experience, one of them being that the music doesn't stop when going back to the menu.
Thank you! The effects are my vocals hahaha
This was actually SO much fun to play! A very clever approach to the rewind mechanic and the story line was really well thought out. I enjoyed the art and music so much as well.
Wow! Really appreciate that! We put a lot of effort on it but, as you know, there are always things we don't have time to finish properly :(
great sense of level design, awesome use of art and music and interesting call to adventure text.
I had lots of fun playing it!
That's great coming from you! Thanks XD
Good game overall, with a good level design that balances properly easy and difficult parts.
That's great to hear! I think I should have spent more time and effort including some other levels for the gunpuppet and to mix the use of the gun and the puppets...
The reset button in the menu is broken. It is a cool game. I see our interpretations of the theme are similar. :)
Thank you for the comment! You can use the R key to restart the level (and you can see how the puppets reappears which is cool!). Love your game too!!! The sound is great!
Nice game. I think I found a bug where if you let the rewind box get on your head you get stuck with it.
Ups! Totally! You know it is hard to make if everything in one week. Did you manage to finish it? I think the last level is a little hard...
Couldn't finish it
Just in case you want to see the overall picture
I really like the idea of having the different types of puppets do different things. I think my main critique would have to do with the puppet gun. If you miss a shot it doesn't feel that good because you have to wait for the thing to stop bouncing and reset itself.
I agree... I should have introduce another key to rewind when you wish. I will do it!
The level of the first screenshot is a little tricky but it can be overcome. Spoiler alert! I leave here the solution:

Nice graphics and music. I like the idea.. good job.
My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match ,thanks
Cool idea, but I couldn't get far. I try to wind one box up, but the box that is on the box gets wound fully and runs off. Idk.
I do not know the box you are saying and it is a pity you didn't get far. Please try again! I would love if you go till you get the gun!
