About Super Mixtape
Super Mixtape is a retro physics based rhythm-puzzle-platformer where you guide cassette tape ‘Mix’ across a fully reversible 2D world of A-Sides and B-Sides, completing puzzles as you progress to find the perfect beat.
-“It throws everything you know about the standard platformer out of the window and creates its own rules.” – Otaku.
-“My favourite game of EGX 2015” – GameGazm.
“Throughout the design and construction of the game I have spent a lot of time thinking about the unique mechanics and elements of the game that create the overall experience.”
As you progress through the game, your aim as a player is to traverse ‘Mix’ across the musical landscape to collect keys and unlock doors, allowing you to progress through the beat.

Features
- World Flip – flip the world, like a cassette, playing forwards and backwards. The Flip Mechanic is the core mechanic of the game.
- Tumble – The tumble allows the player to correct themselves and rotate in the air. Challenging the rules of traditional 2D gameplay by allowing player rotation. The main character’s facial expression will change depending on his position.
- Jump and Physics – The jump in Super Mixtape is like no other jump and requires the player to jump from either the left or the right to gain height or distance based on the physics applied to the cassette. Supported by a considered and natural control scheme.
- Beat Switches – Being able to ‘switch the beat’ remixes the audio in the game and areas of the level will react to the change. The ‘beats’ are colour coordinated with supported differentiating patterns to assist players who suffer with colour-blindness or colour vision deficiencies.
- Puzzles – Navigate across puzzles in each level.
- Audio – The audio progresses with you as you progress through the levels.
- Zoom - Zoom out to see other parts of the puzzles.
Future
- Narrative (currently being developed)
- 5 feature rich levels across multiple acts (totalling ~15 playable levels)
- More Puzzles
- Ingame Interactive OST - Original Sound Track featuring 12 full length customisable tracks
- Localisation in multiple languages including Russian, German, Polish, Finnish
- Local Multiplayer - Fun game modes (Depending on testing)
- Modding Support (Depending on testing)
Basic Gameplay Rules
“Throughout the design and construction of the game I have spent a lot of time thinking about the unique mechanics and elements of the game that create the overall experience.”
As you progress through the game, your aim as a player is to traverse ‘Mix’ across the musical landscape to collect keys and unlock doors, allowing you to progress through the beat.
- You can only move when your magnetic strip is touching the ground.
- When you flip onto the B-Side, the amount of spooled tape is reversed and the cassette's stickers changes.
- You can jump from the left wheel (Left Trigger/Key) or the right wheel (Right Trigger/Key) allowing the cassette to jump and behave differently within the physics, giving you more distance or height.

This was kind of a fun and challanging game for me. I got it in a bundle so I didn't pay the full price of the game. My biggest issue looking at this game is asking $13.00 for an alpha state game that only has the tutorial (3 levels to try and get the hang of controlls) and arcade mode is too much money for the experience. Their arcade mode is making it though the level as far as you can using 1 life. That doesn't interest me but it may give more insight into further gameplay. The tips and hints throughout the gameplay aren't shown well. When I would jump over an area, I could miss the hint or information it completely. Now I will say the game appears to be consistant so after some trial and error what you don't pick up from the tips and hints you should be able to figure out on your own. I do like the music though and when you are able to switch to different colors the music gets a lot better from having different options. Right now I wouldn't even suggest paying $5.00 for it. There just isn't enough content to justify paying that much money yet. It's not even enough content to fully understand what the game will be like. Even though I had a little fun with Super Mixtape I'm goi…5 found this helpful

BRAVO! An indie game worthy of being bought – It’s refreshing to see a unique puzzle platformer built in this manner. The concept on spatial awareness is extremely clever and on top of that no bugs (which come standard in most day-to-day releases of indie games)! Simple enough not to warrant a tutorial but complex enough to create a challenge. Can’t wait to see more level design and features. More games like this PLZ!2 found this helpful
Super Mixtape has a unique take on the side scrolling platformer, with challenging controls and an upbeat rhythm. You traverse several levels, unlocking new beats and mastering the unique movement mechanics to reach your goal, which is of course, a boombox! There's nothing to dislike about this game, it's simple yet complex, great fun, and I can't wait to see what comes of it. It has potential to be a top indie title. Super Mixtape, more like Super Funtape!2 found this helpful
A quirky puzzle platformer with a ton of promise. I can't wait to play further than the tutorial levels and post an updated review1 found this helpful
