Overall You had a decent theme. The little cassette is cute and the rolls of tape are a nice touch.
Fun and Innovation: It was a platformer but I would have liked an unique element.
Theme: This barely hits the mark for rewind in the sense that rewinding is the same as replaying. Its a story element rewind and not really a game mechanic rewind. I would have like to see some innovation regarding the theme.
Graphics: Overall pretty cute cassette and I liked the millennials touch. I'm not sure if there was a reason for the different head wear though as they all seemed the same functionally. I thought maybe the spiky heads couldn't be stepped on? Also not sure why the ladders are the same as the background or why the platforms appear as they do. Since you are looking for a cassette player maybe the platformer could have been in a junk yard or an antiques shop?
Audio: From what I can tell it seemed like original content and i liked the sound effects but I would have like some more audio cues to signal game state changes to the player. Such as a damage noise. Also once I clipped on a millennial and was immediately drained of health and then didn't even respawn. Try adding an invulnerability moment like they do in Mario games so I don't instantly die.
Again, a pretty good attempt, I look forward to seeing more!

Thanks for playing
In regards to the theme, I wasn't sure if what I was making was right, and I was going to change it, but I was running out of time, so I had to stick with what I had. In future, I will definitely integrate the theme into the game, rather than just the story :)
The issue with collision and the millennials, I encountered the same bug a couple of times in playtesting, but I couldn't figure out what was causing it, so I added the "Restart Game" button. If you could let me know where it happened, that would be great. Usually when in collision with the millennials, you can only take damage once, so I don't understand how it happens.
