A fun zelda like game! pretty funny to use pencil to fight XD I think the only complain i have is sometimes i push two boxes as a time. not sure if it is intentional. Not bad!
thank you ✌️
Very fun game with story. I see someone speedrunning this and spamming rollbutton rapidly, reminds of zelda games a lot.
thank you bro
I really don't get the connection to the theme. It just plays like a normal zelda, which isn't bad. The Controls are horrible and all over the place. It is possible to play with them, but it's not fun. Really should make them changeable and make a more clear connection to the theme. Otherwise it's pretty solid and good.
thanks
The art looks great! You implemented interesting mechanics and made the rewinding part of gameplay and the story and I think thats great!
The music loop is a bit too short and gets repetitive fast but thats just a small point.
Great game overall!
thank you bro 👍👍👍

A really good game, one of the most fun entries I've played so far. Hopefully you continue to develop it after the jam ends.
Tres bien!
Wow! Love the top down approach and storytelling text system too! It's really quite polished! Loved the game!
Me encanta este juego, me reí un montón XD
Mucha gente ha tenido también la idea de rebobinar casettes, incluido nosotros, pero no vi ningún otro juego en el que los casettes son los enemigos. Es genial jaja y además me encanta lapicín. Y la mecánica de lanzarlo y teleportarte a donde está es muy guay.
Mi única pega es que la música ralla un poco :/
Fun game! Loved the story and how you did the story telling! Can't wait for the rest of the game
Really cool game. Good job!
thanks bro
Very nice story based game, although the cave collapsing sound exploded my headphones lol
i am so sorry XD. Hope you at least enjoyed the game
I liked so much the theme and the story! Put some story in the game tells so much about you and how do you view games. With more time I imagine that you could polish the visuals and the animation for the pencil.
Congratulations and how nice is putting the language option!
Check our game too, if possible~
It is a really nice game! I like the graphics a lot (were three sounds that I missed or are there no sounds?), and the idea of using the pencil in many different ways is really cool. I don't really have any suggestions, only thing is maybe adding some more feedback when you teleport to let the player know something happened. Anyways, make a post jam version please.
Love the pencil mechanic! I hope you continue this game :)
Nice concept and an overall fine game. I get that the music was a nod to the rewind theme, but it got annoying really fast, though I understand that music was not your main focus and you only had a week. Also found some spelling errors which is unfortunate in a story-based game.
Thanks for everything, the thing about the spelling errors is that I am a Spanish speaker and I use Google translate, sorry XD
Yeah I thought so. But just thought I’d mention it if you continued to work on it. Maybe find someone english speaking to spell check for you if you have trouble yourself :)
Good idea 👍👍👍
That's a great and original game, I love the story and how different mechanics are introduced one by one like a proper game (not like a rushed jam game :D)
It has so much potential, you should definitely polish it and expand it after the jam.
One problem I had was with rooms resetting every time I left them, also the pencil would sometimes get stuck after I pressed X to throw it.
maybe make a game with this premise thanks
Interesting idea! Making a story driven game is very hard under a time limit, and you did a good job of it. The pencil is a pretty smart idea, and I like the dialog. Rewinding isn't present in the mechanics, but it is in the story, and that makes it very unique in its implementation of the theme. Good job.
thank you ✌️✌️
Good job in trying to make a storydriven game! It needs some polish (those guys are still trapped after you reenter the room etc.)
thank you
I liked the story, the "combat" and the design. It's not diamond, of course but it's a pretty solid game. The mechanics with the pencil are really interesting(i played only until the teleportation part). Nice job on making the game, not gonna lie, I had a little tad of fun playing it!
Hey, try it out my game too!
Great game with good story!
