Nice game, I like the cassette tape idea a lot !

I like it. The game is fun and it has a clever approach to the theme.

Really enjoyed playing the game, the concept was super cool and art style/music fitted perfectly. There were a couple of bugs but they didn't ruin the experience. Great job!

love it. but was expecting actual audios for the tape. you can add music genre t it maybe rap, old skool vibes

Submitted

Great Experience from the start!. The art style is dope! Well made, good job :D

Really solid game, everything lines up together really well. I did have one glitch I think where I was able to rewind over a pit. but other than that no issues playing.

I liked this game because it combines music with the gameplay (especially when you use a tape and rewind it). Such a cool take on the theme and the name of the game fits like a glove. It's a shame that it has few levels but for a game jam is more than enough. 

Congrats on your game submission, it's awesome.

This game is really good! Its fun, challenging and fits the theme well. I had some issues with the tapes showing different instructions to what directions I actually went. Other than the slight bug this submission is amazing!

Great job, I love the pixel art. There seem to be a lot of cassette based submissions :)

This game concept is really great! I love how well it fits the theme. Perhaps at some point you could have actual audio tracks to go with each one that could play backwards as well. My only issue is that ti was a bit unclear that reversing lets you move over the hole in Stage 5. Great game otherwise!

Aw man, that was super cool! I really enjoy how you have tapes that control the movement. seems like when reversing, you dont fall down holes? Super cool. Great Job!
