In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game is a 90's Movie Rental Store simulator. You work in the returns section and it is very important to rewind the vhs tapes!
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I have done everything by myself, except the music but all clips are royalty-free (credits to Danya Vodovoz).

Really cool concept, and I like the Visual hint at Papers Please haha. I think it would be a bit more confusing in the beginning, but more intuitive as you play the game, if there were no buttons, and everything is managed without an UI. Awesome graphics, mechanic and sounds!
Thanks, It will be implemented in the next update among more stuff.
Dude the shadow of the waiters is really creepy. Check my game or they will come your house tonight.
Hey! It appears you, me and a lot of other people had the same idea!
I really liked how you implemented the partial rewind system and the clients queue. It's really fun! Good job!
Hi, i've played and rated your game. It's really good, especially the music and graphics. Well done made!
I really liked the graphics of the game. I was kind of confused at first at what I was supposed to be doing. The game was fun although the music was kind of annoying because it was short. (Also is it "human music" from Rick and Morty?).
I hope you continue developing your game.
Yeah, human music... There was only 1h hour left when I realised the main scene at the store needed some chill soft background music... Human music came to my mind... but I agree it becomes quite boring after a while.
Human music... I like it. Well, for a bit, I would've like the 'change music' button during the video rewinding section after awhile. Also there's no way to tell how much total money you have and you just have to wait around at the vendor even if you can't afford anything. But I like the art and concept here, a lot of people did VHS rewinding games it seems, including us, haha.
I really really love the graphics and overall retro feel of the game. Adding some special events would maybe add some variation to the gameplay, but even without them, the game is fun. Well done!
Thanks! I will update and add more mechanics and ideas that I had to exclude because of the limited time for developing.
I really loved the graphics and idea. I wish there wasn't a timer and it was more of a puzzle like papers please, but really nice idea and cool characters. Lots of potential!
Thanks! As I was developing for the Jam, I needed to simplify and exclude many ideas that needed much more time to implement. I know it has its flaws but at least I think there is some potential as you say. I will keep on working on it for sure!
For sure! I do love the concept and would love to see a fuller version! Good job!
Rated! Thanks for playing
Very creative spin on Papers Please! It was a bit confusing trying to figure out how to play properly, but the general humor and creativity was quite nice! The 90s atmosphere was also quite fun! Good job on this one!
Thanks! There are many flaws (and bugs) so I am working on it. A short tutorial is a good idea, also I would like not to use UI buttons so it will be more intuitive.
What a great game! Really well crafted visuals and great use of the theme, big fan of the outdoor break area and the "powerup dealer" super funny, well executed and a treat to play. Give ours a rating if you have the chance! Cheers <3 https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/721506
Nice game, simple yet addictive. The dialogue lines are great, music and art are cool!
Great job! loved the pixel art. Loved the humor and the back alley black market dude! lol
Please rate and play my game too: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/723414
Rated! Great job
The art is really well done with a lot of attention to detail. I love it! The use of music and song to create stressed and relaxed moments is really well done.
Rated and thank you!
I love the random dialogues from the different customers and how diverse they look, i dig the art style though and i love how everything is planned out in the store, the concept of this game was well interpreted for the theme and the way the customers at the back look at you while you're attending to the one at front is terrifying but i love it, I wish there was a skip button at the end of every shift when I can't afford to buy any upgrades, but overall really fun game to play!
Thanks! I'll work on a skip button, that's a great idea.
This was a nice simple game!
I also love the "Paper's Please" reference in the title.
Thanks for giving it a try ;)
Glad to see I'm not the only one that thought of running an old video rental store! I loved the whole style of the game (I couldn't help but think that you beat papers please that you were parodying in that respect), but as some of the other guys have said, it felt like I was just repeating the same thing over and over again
The sprites are very nice and the game is funny. But there is not much gameplay to do. I just do the same movements with the same 3 notes in the background.
Some comments were really funny, this game was great, it's simple but fun, nice entry!
If you have time check out our game!
Pretty good, game ! I enjoyed the theme and the gameplay was well-made!
P. S.: I would appreciate if you'd check out my game!
