I didn't realize for a couple minutes that he says what he wants out loud, so I'd just been hanging out in the pockets trying things and wondering why it wasn't working. The controls feel fiddly but I like the overall concept! For me personally, games with time limits like these stress me out so bad but I know a lot of people love them!
Cool game, paralax effect on the background would have done crazy work, game is easy to play once you adapt to it i like it.
Having to search through cassettes for a walkman is great use of the theme. All the various sound tracks are also well made. Though the most optimal strat is to immediately pull out the cassette after inserting it, so you get the reward and can leave the player open for next cassette.
It's a simple game, I got lucky in that like for 4 in a row, he just wanted rock, lol. Sounds good and plays good, well done! I'm still not sure which pockets he had that could fit that many cassettes though, lol. JNCOs? Those were around for CDs though I think?
Seconding kristinamay about not noticing the callouts at first! It would be nice if there was a sound effect nudging the player to check the walking screen so you know that a new theme has been called out. The walkman is a great choice for a piece of old tech and the scrambling for cassettes is definitely a relatable experience. Well done!
