The Game

Jeanie is caught in a loop, stuck in the same old routine day-in and -out. Help her break out of the daily grind in this narrative-based, sidewalk-shredding, music-pumping, momentum-based platformer.

By switching between her two cassette tapes, Jeanie activates a single-use ability, indicated by an icon in the upper corner. These two powers are a speed boost (great for getting up ramps and clearing large gaps) and an extra jump (great for clearing those pesky obstacles). 

Each cassette also determines which rails Jeanie can ride, but she can only ride the rail corresponding to the color of her current tape.

Quick reflexes are key: swap cassettes at the right moment to navigate each level, beat the clock, and finally escape the endless cycle of her daily grind.

Controls

• [A] and [D] to move. [Spacebar] to jump.
• [Left shift] or [Z] to change the music.
• Changing the music activates an ability that's either a speed boost or bonus jump.
• Rails can only be rode when you're listening to the correct color cassette.
• Make it to the finish line before the time runs out.
