Can't stop playing! Amazing game! Very retro. For a few minutes I forgot we're in 2020 and went back to 1988 (when i started to listen to music)
But not only the music is great. The gameplay is very addictive! And the mechanic about rewinding the cassette to destroy the enemies. Man, seriously. By far one of the best games I played in the Jam.
CONGRATULATIONS!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You play as a cassette tape and you leave a tape trail as you move. You can rewind the tape which moves you back to where you were previously, while destroying enemies in your path. Plus the graphics and sound effects help rewind you back to the 80's.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and made most assets from scratch. I did not make the music, fonts or most of the sound effects, but they are all licensed for commercial use. All the attributions are on the game's page. Every other asset was made by me.

The music is soooooo good. I liked how each level not only had its own bop, but its own shooting and enemy patterns. The gameplay is solid, and I'd play more if there was more. I do wish the difficulty scaled or was higher in general. I played for a good while, but never did I accidentally die.

DJ ShmupBest take on cassette tape and rewinding does damage mechanics in the jam so far! Also, love me some Home. Thanks for introducing me to EVA and Three Chain Links. Great work!

Mixtape matchOkay that was awesome aha
Graphics are so so good. And I mean, the concept is very good !!
I loved the rewinding music and the fact that you could kill ennemies by rewinding in them...
Maybe a bit too stiff on the controls ? But nonetheless, a great game !

Hacking System FL3R 2.4Loved this game and the take on the theme.
Only complaints that I'd have is that the lack of power up or similar mechanics makes the shooting a bit stale. Also the game could use a pause button on the keyboard, even more since clicking on the menu takes a bit of time to pause, since the songs seemed kinda long.
I also had a funny bug, that by spamming the rewind and the movement, you can move without using tape, and change the starting point of said tape. Was a bit weird but didn't change that much, just wanted to let you know.
Other than that, great job.

Mechanical WondersThank you for the feedback! I was thinking about adding powerups but with limited time I focused more on levels and enemies. I do agree there should be a pause button on the keyboard, I will add it to the post Jam to-do list. And spamming rewind, while maybe not a bug, should probably be removed, and I should be able to add a small cooldown to using it. Again thanks so much!
This is one of those relaxing games that should be on the mobile app store. :D I am impressed by the amount of polish.

Night of the Living TAPESI really like the style of the game. The graphics, music, and gameplay really work well together. The rewind mechanic was interesting to play with also. Although I will admit that I spent a good portion of the time trying to make interesting pictures with the tape.
