Yo-yo Man

Submission for Brackeys Jam 2020.2 - Rewind.

The Game:

You control an up and coming Yo-yo prodigy, with a will for righteousness and a desire for strength you are going to take on the Yo-yo masters who rule the streets and business of Tokyoyo.

Using the yoyo tricks you have mastered, take on the grunts and various yo masters of the Tokyoyo Tyrants in order to become stronger and bring about justice in an industrially controlled Japan. 

As the top scoring in your class in fitness, harness your agility to leap incredible distances and jump between walls.

The Theme: Rewind

Yoyo Man's main theme is Rewind.

A central mechanic in the game is the yoyo's String - after a certain amount of attacks you need to rewind your string in order for the yoyo to work. The player can Rewind their string by pressing R. Upon Rewinding, time slows and the player must rapidly spin the yoyo, rewinding the string so that it may be used again.

(To wall jump, jump onto a wall, face the other direction and jump)
