Very interesting. I'd like to see more.

I went through the whole thing. Had a lot of trouble on level 4 or something where you have to land a box on another box and then gently push the whole thing. Took me like 20 attempts to do that. Afterwards, the difficulty dropped quite a bit. A very good entry, I enjoyed it.

This was actually pretty fun to play. I loved the art style and the puzzles were well thought out. Also I was amused at how the mixtape has fire on it :p

Well, that was fun. Definitely left me wanting more.

Definitely a novel take on the theme, and I feel like it worked pretty well as a game.

One minor issue I had was that jumping and moving sideways so you hit a platform shortens the jump, which makes for mild awkwardness in the controls. But in general it felt really smooth.

Oh yeah. And the added music for the "Bass Blast" were decidedly "trebly" ;)

Was quite some fun to play, somehow reminded me a bit of Trine. You nicely used the theme and created something interesting out of it. One the negative side the character physic wasn't smooth, sometime got stuck while jumping...

Cool art style, but even cooler music, a bit more polish in the protagonist art style and i'd have loved she :D.

Cool puzzle, probably with some more time and dedication you guyz and girlz could come up with some very interesting level.

I hope that the ability to fly over explosive barrel is intentional XD.

The game crashed after entering one of the stage, i didn't checked what http://abload.de/img/clipboard025out9.png [this didn't influenced my vote]

Loved the art and music on this one, very distinctive and a neat take on the Saints Row dubstep gun :P I got stuck on a level where you had to move some exploding barrels. I couldn't get them to effect the trap door no matter what I did. Still, it's a nice entry this. :)

All right we did this! Was a really cool concept, music got a little repetitive, but it's forgivable cause it was fun.

This game is a lot better than it first appears! Good job! As already mentioned by Liam, one of the levels is ridiculously difficult compared to the others (the one with two boxes on the ground, and one other box upstairs which you need to land on the large one) but apart from that the level design is challenging without being too hard and introduces the game mechanics in an intuitive way. Oh and I love the retro music! I had cassettes when I was a kid!

Very cool game! I like the mechanic and the various "tapes" you can get as weapons. There are some great puzzles in there as well. The music was awesome and I loved the switching of the music when using different tapes. I also enjoyed the art. It was giving me a slight Jet Set Radio vibe. Very nice work!

I really wished the meistro theme music was closer to the main beat like the other tapes. Audio was great in general though. The puzzles were a bit finicky.

Nice concept. The controls seemed a bit glitchy for me though. Music and game puzzle/mechanics were cool.

I liked the buildup of knowledge that you arm the player with even if it's a bit on the slow side. Great art and sound design with the tapes. The theme is really well integrated. The physics and stacking boxes is sometimes tedious.

Great animation, love that smile! Kind of reminds me of Geist by Nintendo...
