A downloadable game for Windows

By: therealarman

Run It Back is a music themed puzzle game where you use cassette tapes to guide your character to victory! Play cassette tapes forward or reversed to move your character in different patterns in order to reach the goal.

This game is a submission for the Brackeys Game Jam 2020 #2 created in 6 days. The theme was "Reverse".

Controls & How To Play:

This game is meant to be played with a Mouse & Keyboard

  • Drag and drop a Cassette Tape into the boombox to load it.
  • Once it is loaded in, hit to play the tape forward.
  • After a disk has been played forwards, it must be reversed using E which will move the character in the opposite pattern shown on the tape.
  • Move your character to collect the music note on each level and win!
  • Hit M to mute the music.

This was really well done, and the levels felt pretty fun to puzzle through!   The gimmick of using cassettes was well executed and I liked the work that went into the audio cues like the warble on the music when running it back.

As a bit of polish I'd personally like to see, I think it would be nice if it was noticeable at a glance when cassettes are wound forward or back, though there's never enough cassettes at a time where it feels overwhelming to just keep track of them mentally.
