Retroactive

Retroactive was created for the Extra Credits Holiday 2018 Game Jam using Panda3D.

Announcements:

• On the 7th of February a bugfix version was made available. The update is so late because I needed to keep the game exactly the way it was made during the 3 days of the Jam.
• On the 14th of February  a special Valentines version was made available as a thank you to all the people who downloaded, played, shared, streamed, and featured on 'Games You Might Not Have Tried' ❤️

The theme was Preset - this game takes a twist on presenting things. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but when You experience that 'Oh, Wow, so THAT was IT!' moment you'll know that was it.

Also - there's a beachball in the game - if i have to explain you wouldn't understand.

As you can see from the screenshots it is strongly influenced by the '80 retro-futuristic style, Synthwave/Outrun and the old intro for Jonny Quest.

The game is short - but I can see myself turning it into something more. If You feel like playing the game more - please leave a comment, or a dollar,  that would get me motivated. If You don't like it - I'd also like to hear why, don't be a stranger, leave a comment!
