The idea is really good. The controls felt a little weird, but maybe it's just me.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Oh no, our precious mixtape has been stolen by the evil "Earless" !!
To progress you have to rewind broken cassettes and use their tape as a bridge to travel to the next area. Accurate jumping skills recommended for maximum satisfaction!
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All assets and coding done by me from scratch (except two free "ding" audio effects)

Well, that's technically rewinding, isn't it? 🤣
I think too that having limited lives is a con. But good work with the game!
The gameplay is quite smooth I enjoyed it :) I think having limited lives for the entire game ruins a bit the game, would have prefered a reset for each part.
I'd appreciate if you play and rate our game too! :)

Thank you very much for the detailed review!! Actually I have added a comment below the game, it seems that when embedded, the game view in levels gets cut a bit on both sides. In full screen you see the game view as intended! I hadn’t noticed this earlier but I will fix this as soon as uploading new builds gets unlocked!! :)
(Also, followed you to be able to support in your future endeavors!!)
I like how you interpret the theme. Also, "rope" physics for tape bridges looks really nice!
I like the idea of forming a bridge with the tape. Hope to see more turns in the use of this mechanism
Liked the rewinding casettes idea. Just a few issues: the enemy sprites seem a bit blurry (not really an issue just a minor annoyance). At one point I came across what seemed like random spiked floating in the air. I think the jumping could do with a bit more work. Apart from that though it's a good game and has good level design, good job!
I love this game! The jumps are brutal, but the style of the graphics and sounds is top notch. The rewinding of cassette tapes is brilliant.
Very nice game ZaoMao! Took me a while to understand the game, but eventually got it! :)
