Interesting submission. I have seen a few of these kind of "blockbuster" takes on rewind. I liked the art and style. Good job!
Could you also play and rate my game?

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player has to "rewind" VHS games.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did everything by myself, yes.

Really nice game, super unique! I love the mini games in the tapes. I did have problems keeping track which ones of my tapes were rewinded already and also sometimes customers asked for tapes I simply didn't have in stock. Really nice though!

oh, messy lifeClever idea, it's a lot of fun! I love the contrast between the two consoles and the VHS ASMR is oddly satisfying.
Some things I took note:
- As some have mentioned, it would be useful to know which tapes you've rewound
- This may be intentional, but I felt the area was too cramped and later on it became nearly impossible to manage and pick up the tapes on the ground (although this may be avoidable if I didn't suck so much :()
- The gardening mini-game is one of my favorites, but imo the two harvesting tools are too similar to one another and hard to distinguish when in a rush (not a big problem though, as there's no real punishment for using the wrong one, so it's ok)
Overall this was such an original concept for a game and one of my favorite takes on the theme! Please keep this one up :D

Back To The BeginningI must say, this was one of the better games of this jam, it was simply just fun to play and not really complicated to get into, I just wish there was more of it, maybe more sound effects, more juice but overall it was an enjoyable game

The Wisemans clockWoow, amazing, that you managed to do all that in a week.
Musik and minigames are really good and I like the diner dash like concept, where you have to walk youself and where you can place the items anywhere you want.
I dont know if I was just to slow, but sometimes it seems like there are demands for games that you do not have in stock, is it supposed to be like that?

Please be kind - RewindI like the concept of the game, a really creative one!!!
Unfortunally for me, the minigames were waay to hard for my liking, and i wished i could interrupt the rewinding process to try different cartriges or serve some other clients!!! Some backgorund music would also be nice...
Also, for some reasons, if i go to the level selection, i can't select the level that i have already play it..

Spring Me UpYou actually can interrupt the games with V/U, but sadly I forgot to write that in the game. Agree for the music, unfortunately I didn't have much time left for it and I didn't want to rush it and ruin the experience. The bug with the level selection is totally new, I didn't know that it could happen. I'll look into it, thanks for the feedback!
Legit one of the best and most creative games I've played in this jam. I love all the different minigames you have to do to rewind each tape. My only complaint is that sometimes, a customer comes by to request a game that hasn't been dropped off yet so I can't do anything about it.

Prototype RThis game was super fun! The visuals and take on the theme were extremely thoughtout. I had a bit of trouble with some of the mini games mainly because if I screwed up I couldn't reset in the mini game, this usually happened in the square man one.
Sound effects were satisfying but I think this game could have absolutely benefited from some frantic music in the background.
Very well done!

PlaybackUnfortunately I forgot to write it in the game, but you could press V/U to eject the game, a feature that I added exactly for the complex cases that could arise from Squareman. Totally agree for the frantic music, sadly I run out of time to make/search something fitting. Thank you for your feedback!
This was a neat simulator, I like how time went by as you were in the minigame. The controls felt good, I feel like a lot of games like this make it difficult to pick up and drop items but this was smooth. This was a nice and relaxing play, I enjoyed it :)
Submitted
It's 5 O'Clock SomewhereDef a different take in rewinding the cassette. I like that I could pick stuff up with the keyboard. It's like a mini-game in a game. Nice job.
Submitted
What The HoleThat's quite a good idea, very original!
I can't think of much to add, just like someone already said, to differenciate between rewinded and not rewinded (rewound?) cassettes
You also basically made various mini games on top of it, nice!
Submitted
The Vibin' BotDang, this is another 5 star game for me. Hard to give constructive feedback because it was so great. Maybe differentiate between rewound and non-rewound tapes (though I like the added challenge of having to sort tapes for myself)? And a few times customers asked me for tapes that hadn't been delivered yet. Other than that nitpicking, it was really enjoyable in every aspect!
