All I have to say is: "What the hell was that?" haha
I found this game to be crazy and fun. TimeSquirrel is hilarious.
Note: Maybe slowdown should be limited, otherwise we would use it all the time.

HAha, really fun! Is this based on Hammy from Over the Hedge?
Really like the idea. I think one could do really really cool things if one experimented more with this idea :D

Mac OS X, didn't run. (quit unexpectedly)

Trippy. I like it. Permanent space bar.

Aurel300 Yeah, I sent it to one of my friends and the same thing happened to him, I'm not sure how to fix it, sorry

Hahaha, this is awesome and funny (probably because of the title). The keys were "sticky" on my Mac, so it made the game this much more hardcore. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

That slowdown effect was crazy.

It's good the squirrel can slow down time, because it's running too damn fast :D

The game was nice, really good job. The time mechanics were great and the slowdown effect was amazing. The only thing I didn't like were the controls, way too tricky and the movements are way too fast. I could hardly stand on a single platform unless I was holding the spacebar throughout the whole game.
Playing this under Linux by the way, thanks for supporting the better OS ;)

My Virtual machine really didn't like it, but it was still fun!

Brilliant. Love the concept.

I liked it :D The game did have a lot of lag spikes on my pc, making it incredibly hard, so I was stuck on level 1. Good game nonetheless!

A funny concept and matches the theme well, pretty difficult to master!

Just awesome! (And worked great on my Mac)

Loved the concept, and had a lot of fun playing(although i couldn't beat level 1). I found that when you weren't holding space bar it was actually almost impossible to control, which i understand is what you were going with. I think speed when not hold space should be slowed down a bit for more control. I found that i would just hold spacebar down the entire time because of this. I would suggest making it only possible to hold space for a short duration, whilst you're in the air, making the slow down effect more of a power up, rather than a button the hold. I actualy ended up using a paperweight to hold down space, because my fingers were getting sore. But the main thing is i had fun in your game!

My that is only slippery and fast squirrel. Pretty hard to control, but he sure is timely! (but mostly dead)

That is fast indeed. 10 seconds for us is maybe hour for that squirrel :) I had a bit troubles with jumping thought..the squirrel sometimes was clattering the ground(as not recognized it for a moment) thous unable to jump for awhile.. but in the "space-feature" mode it was ok :)
Brejlounek9 Sep 2013, 16:59
Quite fun. I find using and not using space to be like two diferrent modes of playing, because there is no slowdown limit. Upside down tree in level 5 was a nice touch :D Audio is way too loud!

Time Squirrel just sound so funny to say...the jumping sometimes wouldn't work for me, but otherwise I liked the game.








Lovely idea! I like the insane speed the slowdown-effect :)
