Very cool game. I dig the aesthetic, and I love puzzle games like these. Great job!

Nice use of the classic platformer wrap mechanic, I really like the little twist which consists in controlling the scrolling horizontally. The mood was also cool thanks to the music and old tape style.
Good job :)

Nice game. Everyone has already seen screen wrapping, but with moving camera it's actually much more interesting. And the effects pretty much compensate the simple graphics. Overall - very good job!

PoussCorp6 Oct 2020, 08:30

Awesome, i love it! But with a azerty keyboard, it's much harder to play :)

Ranjan6 Oct 2020, 08:32

Very fun! Being able to move the camera in the later levels made this really stand out.

super cool game! i love the cool mechanics, although i got a bit stuck on one of the puzzles

CookieNoir6 Oct 2020, 09:09

Cool game mechanics. Reminded VVVVVV at the beginning, but when it became possible to use Q and E, the game started to give sweet emotions to me. Though this mechanic is buggy. At the 4th leel I just flew away from the map. Defeat in this game is another art form. Hope you will make many more levels and publish your masterpiece :)

Wow this one is great.

The mechanic is classic, but incredibly well executed. The movable camera adds a lot to the game.
The art is great, the music fits perfectly, the sound design is on point.

The game also is great to speedrun. Here are my times!

Thanks for the game 💕

Super cool game, the art style and audio are just too good!

Zessirb6 Oct 2020, 09:47

@pousscorp Sorry about that, the irony is, we're french with mostly azerty keyboards too, so we switched to qwerty at the last time! We were hoping to use Unity new input system which is very convenient for keyboard layout changes, but it just didn't work in webgl builds

Sometimes the corners can be a bit buggy, going out of the screen unfortunately means you have to press R to restart the level. We spent quite a lot of time on debugging the borderless feature, but that bug remained

Thanks a lot for your comments!

To be honnest, I didn't expect much when I saw the screen wrapping. ^^' But once I got introduced to moving the camera, it completely blew my mind! Good job! :smile:

This was one of my favorites today. I love the way you implemented the rewind an fast forward, and how stepping on the spikes causes the tape to go back to the beginning (though the squeal was a bit loud). Even the music was very 80's synthwave and I liked it.

ClassyBoganStudios6 Oct 2020, 11:11

Oh I really loved this, that soundtrack is so beautiful! And the sound design in general, with the tape rewind glitch. Such a novel mechanic. Great work! [@hapticfabric for Classy Bogan Studios]

Le Slo6 Oct 2020, 13:14

Very nice! I love the sounds when pressing Q and E, and the general aesthetic when rewinding. The platforming moving was a bit floaty for me, but that didn't stop me to complete the game. Great work!

RizekCajk6 Oct 2020, 14:22

Incredible. I love the theme and music. Its fun and new take on screen wrapping.

mrosegreen6 Oct 2020, 15:15

Really enjoyed this game! Looks great, fun to play, clever take on the theme. If I had a suggestion, it would be to allow the player to remap the controls - sometimes I went to hit "E" on my QWERTY keyboard and ended up restarting the level. Other than that, terrific job!

mbrezu6 Oct 2020, 17:35

Lots of fun! Nicely done!

Wish there was more content, but I guess more levels would have meant less polish, and there is only so much time in a game jam :-)

Special congrats to the sound people!

Gogani7 Oct 2020, 15:28

Just, wow! I really liked the portal-esque teleportation mechanic! This game is really innovative, good job!
I just noticed that the controls weren't very snappy, and I god a little stuck on the level where we learned how to move the screen, but other than that, it was a 10/10 experience! Good job!

Caberu7 Oct 2020, 15:45

The most original game that I've played in this jam! The "death animation" is a bit long and the rewinding tape noise is a bit irritating so I would recomand you to add a Skip button to replay instantly. The art style is really beautiful and the music suite perfectly well the mood of the game. great work!

Erlioniel9 Oct 2020, 16:29

Wow this one is nailed theme so hard. And overall very well done, I was challenged by the last level, but figured out how to shortcut it. Love it!

Toulou10 Oct 2020, 10:11

Okay, the concept blew my mind. The "looping level" thing is nothing new, but the twist in your game is actually super clever, and you managed to make the most of it. The level design is awesome too, it maybe get a little too hard a little too fast for my liking, but this puzzle platformer deserve a full game! The presentation is great too, the effects are nicely done and serve well the theme. Overall, good job!

GOD COLO11 Oct 2020, 10:57

GREAT CONCEPT MAAAAAN!!! The effects were epic! And that rewind effect wooooooooooowww!!!! :fire: THE THEME WAS ON POINT! And the MUSIC!!!! :fire: GREATO JOBU!! :smile:
