Do planets rotate forwards or backwards on their own axes?

Most of them, as well as the moos, in the solar system spin the same way as Earth. Not all of them, though.

All the planets except for Venus rotate in a counterclockwise direction; ie., west to east. Both Venus and Uranus have a nearly 90 degree tilt while the other planets have roughly the same tilt 20-25 degrees.

The entire solar system orbits the sun in a counterclockwise direction.

all planets except for Mercury are tilted on there axis, and while all planets except for Venus and Uranus rotate in the same direction, it depends on a persons point of view as to whether or not they rotate forwards, backwards, or just in the opposite direction

I'm not quite sure exactly what you're asking.

All of the planets revolve counterclockwise, and most of them rotate counterclockwise as well (Venus and Uranus, I believe, rotate clockwise).

Now, when you refer to the planets "tip[ping] forward", *I* get the impression you're asking about something more like procession, rather than something as mundane as rotational direction. If that's the case, I'll have to reevaluate the question.

There's no such thing as forward or backward in space (as in the 3 dimensional space), they exist only in time. And time only moves forward.

what exactly does forward and backward mean in this context?

i think they can rotate in any direction and at any angle.

It all depends on your frame of reference. Upside down, look different compared to right side up.

It depends on which way you look at them and at what point in their orbit.
