I like this game. It's fun, has good graphics and good design overall.

Nice take on the theme. I liked the art very much, it's awesome. The camera movement isn't too smoth when you jump though. I think you could add some offset, so that the player could see what's below, for example.

Overall, good game and I had fun playing it, excellent job!

  • Graphics are really nice.
  • Audio is a little bit disturbing but ok.
  • I have finished the game and had fun playing it.
  • Mechanics are prety good i think.
  • I think the only problem is the camera. Sometimes I couldn't see the spikes, cassettes. You should probably change it. The camera can fallow the player I think.

Good job!

Great game! Platform feels great, using the best engine for 2d, great art and good sound design! A well polished game. The only thing I'd change would be to let the camera follow the player, since the way the camera works currently creates situations, where the player has to jump down places, hoping that there's a platform below him. The transitions of the camera feel great though.

Really juicy for a jam gam. Particles on jumping, dying animation, scaling. Nice juicy sounds, good job!

I wish the rewind mechanic was more used in the levels. It felt a bit like it was a platform game with a rewind mechanic added on top, more than a game about rewinding. But other than that it was great.

Also, as the levels got bigger, the punishment of dying felt a bit harsh.

I really love the games art, it has some sort of a nostalgic vibe to me.
I liked the rewind mechanic, but I didn't even end up using it, because it was completely optional. Some puzzle elements with it would have been awesome

Great artstyle, I also ran into the same spamming K bug and I started floating up gently lol

Other than that, lovely concept.

Pretty great game, the idea is too good, cool 8bit graphics :P

Submitted(+1)

I like the idea to place the time around and go back to the place.. only issue if you press K several times it fill of times around (it is a bug or should work like that?)

Good Job.

My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match ,thanks

Pretty good, especially liked the Celeste-style climb mechanic (which can be a little faster imo).

Minor problems/inconsistencies aside, it's a unique take on the "rewind time" mechanic and it would have been cool to see a little more use out of this, which i think could lead to quite interesting platforming sections.

  • cute 8bit style. I want a cassette boy of my own!
  • sounds are too high-pitched. Got annoying after a while
  • Nice climbing and jumping. Solid feel to the controls
  • Time mechanic wasn’t really rewinding. I couldn’t save myself from jumping off an edge cuz it just tries to pull me back instead of taking me around the top side.

Glad you liked it. The rewind mechanic definitely needs more work and the sounds were a last minute add.
