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)

The idea is really good. The controls felt a little weird, but maybe it's just me.
Nice idea and Nice concept.
Good game.
Well, that's technically rewinding, isn't it? 🤣
I think too that having limited lives is a con. But good work with the game!
Thank you for your feedback, I’m going to play and rate your game within the day! :)
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, I will take all feedback into consideration for updated builds!! Going to test out your game and rate back today!
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!!)
really good game! great idea!
I don't know if this only happens to me but the game won't restart the level on the right camera when the player died. Otherwise pretty cool idea of making cassetes as bridges!
Each "level" is 7 parts, when you die (when you lose all lives) you go from the beginning as it is designed now so it's not actually a bug if that is what you are mentioning. Thanks for the feedback :)
Super cool use of the theme! Feels kinda like I Wanna Be the Guy
Thank you very much, I was always into the difficult ones :)
Really interesting idea! congratulations! the jump is a bit difficult, not going to lie
Thanks a lot and congrats on your game. I got lots of stuff I'm currently working on that didn't make the Jam deadline but a bit of tuning on the Jump is one of those! Feedback greatly appreciated :)
I like how you interpret the theme. Also, "rope" physics for tape bridges looks really nice!
A very creative take on theme. Fun and challenging!
Pretty fun!
I love the graphics and sounds! :D
Thanks a lot, downloading your game and rating as soon as I get some time to play. :)
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!
Thanks a lot for your comment, those are all things I will definitely improve upon after the Jam! Thanks for spending time in my game! :)
I liked how the tape rewind cool game
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.
Thanks man, I appreciate it a lot since it was all made from the ground up. Your game was awesome! Love the SilentHill vibe!
cool title screen.
Thanks man, took a good chunk of my Game Jam time :)
Kewl! Make it easier lol
Thanks :) I like'em difficult, super meat boy style haha :P
Very nice game ZaoMao! Took me a while to understand the game, but eventually got it! :)
Haha fun concept
