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 characters 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.

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 cassettes 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.
