Hmm, it kept crashing right after the Godot splash screen when I tried to move the mouse or click.

Very buggy and difficult to move. I liked the first "puzzle", though.

Little buggy, like the premise.

Couldn't run it on my Mac (osx 10.10.3 yosemite), crashed on opening.

Huh, strange. I tested it on OS X 10.10.3, and it works fine for me. If anyone else has problems with it, let me know.

Nice little game very buggy though

Runs fine for me on Linux.
Nice idea, but there were too many instant-death situations with no proper warning or chance to react to anything ... and they always sent me back to the start ...
I guess with a little more work this would be great :)

concept definitely has potential. With a little polish, the idea could really turn into something bigger. Good effort.

Ran good on linux. I liked the creepy atmosphere.

interesting concept. I was able to kill the big stick figure and the dinosaur, which felt a but cruel but they were also chasing me haha. I killed myself a lot by going backward and having rocks or tunnel spawn on me - maybe if you could see preview was back used to be as well? nice job!

The bad stickman got stuck into the cave entry where the water flows. I could not send him backward in time. Maybe I waited too long before trying to get rid of him ?
Also, I got a crash ...
... as for not using a beta release of an engine for an LD, seems I got luckier than you since I had no complaint about crashes so far haha

Wow, the loved the lighting, animations, and mood. This is very cool.
