In what way does your game fit the theme?
You need to rewind tapes in this video store management game
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

We had the same idea, and even the same name.
Great implementation and awesome result! It took me a while to get the flow, but then it was super fun! Great work!
Great game! I jus wonder if it would end sometime or if it was infinite... Anyway, took me sometime to find out where to rewind movies, otherwise, everything is awesome :D
I really like the graphics and audio! I was kinda confused by the gameplay though. Sometimes they would find movies by themselves, other times I would throw movies at them and they pick up those. It didn't entirely make sense. It did feel good to have my rating go up though lol. Nice interpretation of the theme too!
Liked the gameplay, music and graphics. It's a fun game to spend a few minutes playing. Good job.
pretty fun little store simulation. graphics and sounds were nice. good job!
Really good! had a lot of fun playing it!
*maybe you would also like to try and rate my submission*
Cool game! It was a bunch of fun to play it! I liked the art style a lot!
Really liked this game. We also did a video store with the same idea but in 3D.
Yo’ Templar here,
Very fun game, the art and sfx fits it quite well. A few things to point out would be:
Thanks! I agree that there isn't really much of a feeling of accomplishment here. We'll think about more ways to communicate that in the future. Good input!
I didnt'really notice the 'rewind' situation. There was a rewind button, but does it rewind returned tapes? Or something else? For the rest. Nice graphics, funny tune, fun to see what tapes what customers are getting next :D
Thanks for the input! We tried to communicate the idea of rewinding tapes from the bin in a more natural way and it was mentioned at the start of the game, but maybe that needed some more explicit directions like the rest of the tutorial popups
Very fun! a different twist on the theme, really appreciated it!
only thing, sometimes the tapes don't go in the shelf and pass over it, expecially titanic ones for some reasons
Yeah throwing tapes disables the collider of the tape for a fraction of a second as a last second workaround lol. We anticipated people not being right against the shelves when throwing tapes.
Thanks for the input!
Nice game, I liked the graphics and the cover arts.
Thank you! A lot of love went into the art
great take on the theme, anazing art well done.
really unique , took me a minute to understand but I could see this being a full game :) good work
I liked this one! A little tricky to understand the rewind and sell interaction right at first, but once I got it the game flowed pretty well. Nice job!
Nice twist on the idea. I give 5 stars on "theme" for not choosing "time".
It was pretty fun! I kept getting a lot of action movies though, the shelf was always full, but every other shelf kept getting grabbed from haha
We had a similar issue in our game, those numbers are hard to balance on movie generation
--EDIT--
Forgot to mention, I didn't hear any audio. Don't know if that was by design or bug
Huh that's weird about the audio. Did you download it or play it in browser?
I played the web version on Chrome. I try not to download games from itch.
This game is SUPER impressive! The art covers clearly had a lot of care and the game play loop is really engaging. I could see this being an actual title for a micro game. My only criticism is it seems that rewinding tapes appears to be an inferior strategy compared to just grabbing more and more tapes from the bin until you get pre-wound tapes.
Thanks for the input! Yeah, we found that loophole and added the tapes dropping onto the floor to try and deter that strategy. Any ideas to balance that out are greatly appreciated!
If I had to think of something I would probably say the tapes on the floor should affect costumer reviews. Eg. a messy store will lead to unhappy customers.
Great job! You took a simple idea and made a very good game that was super fun.
Thank you!
I have a bit of soft spot for games like these so I really enjoyed this.
