Great idea. I actually liked the game, simple but pretty good!

Submitted

Creative mechanic with the tape recorder winding! A bit too hard for me personally heh...

Submitted

Really cool idea. A bit hard for me personally, because the time to react is so extremely short even on the first few puzzles

Submitted

Fun mechanic, would’ve benefited from a tutorial. Great game and I love the artstyle.

Submitted

I really like the idea, I couldn't get it to work for me. :( I think I will try again when my brain isn't mush.

Fascinating puzzles; some of these rooms are really tricky, but the system feels very intuitive very quickly

Submitted

I think a tutorial would have helped with introducing the mechanic. It took me a bit to figure out how it worked. Really fun game though!

hmm a platform puzzle game and when u press e u time loop which is such a creative mechanic 

Submitted

Really interesting mechanic, took a bit of getting used to, but once I did had a lot of fun with it

Submitted

Really creative idea, and the puzzles were pretty good.  I was just a bit confused on how everything worked

Submitted

Interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to beat the first level that required the time rewinding.  And the previous levels don't even need it at all?  It's disabled in the first few, that really confused be, i thought it wasn't working

had me scratching my brain for quite a few puzzles, really enjoyed it.

Submitted

Interesting concept, found the execution to be very frustrating though. That loop gets old very quick. For a game about looping a tape it really deserves some higher quality music.

Rewinding a looping tape as a way to move yourself and objects aroud you is a fantastic idea. Great game!

Submitted

What a unique game! I loved the puzzles, had a lot of fun playing. Thank you!

Submitted

Took a while for me to understand, but really interesting and creative concept!

Submitted

Being able to control where you go back to in the tape is really interesting, never seen that done before. I did a similar idea with a ghost player that matches your previous run

Submitted

A great concept, took me a second to learn how the rewind worked, but a solid choice for the jam, good luck!

Submitted

Cool gameplay! Being able to rewind time is very interesting, but the mouse operation feels not very good. It will definitely be more fun if it can be improved!

Submitted

Really creative idea! Takes a bit to get used to, but once you get it there's a tone of cool stuff you can do with it :D
