I liked the use of gravity, but i missed some kind of undo functionality. The concept works pretty well but i would like to see some limitation on turn length. Of course you have stuff like turrets but i could plot my whole path around the level in one turn.
Ok, I am terrible at puzzle games, but this game was definitely still enjoyable. A lot of my turns I screwed up and their wasn't a way to restart them without dying, but that's not the end of the world.
This is probably the best mashup of something that's normally fast-paced with turn-based I've played so far. Its really interesting to slow down a platformer to the point where you can think about each move you make, and it makes for a really enjoyable game!
Hi there. Congratulations on submitting. So this is sorta like Braid but in reverse - haha - the idea is really clever but the issue is that you have absolutely no idea what the timing on your enemies is, there isn't any sort of hint or ghost of their projectiles so it's basically guess work. I think if you spent more time on this though it could turn into something special.
I love the mechanic of pausing between jumps and falls! SFXs are pretty cool too, really enjoyable! The only downside is death, maybe adding some kind of a health system (for example if you get hit, you go back to the last pause-place tree times, then it's dead) would be better, but it's cool aswell like this!
If I'm being honest, I felt like the addition of turrets just added a bit of randomness and it felt like there was nothing I could do (maybe I missed something). As for it being turn based, I don't really see where the turn part of it comes into play. It's more like phases.
That being said, I think the graphics looked great, and the game play was very smooth. I had a blast just navigating my way around your levels.
My only major complaint is that I wish the position would restart from your last "live" position, rather than at the beginning of the level. Interesting concept, works quite well in practice.
A really good concept ! However, it felt a bit unfair as there was no real way to deal with the turret. A way to preview the path of the bullet would be a great addition and would emphasize the "turn-based" side of the game !
Well well, isn't this a gem. I'd love to see this expanded on! I didn't understand at first that I was planning a route for my body to follow, but when I did I discovered a very satisfying little puzzle platformer! Similar to Braid and PB Winterbottom in theme, but innovative movement to say the least. Great job!
I don't think that turn based part makes this game better. Basically, after platforming section you flip the coin to see if turrets will kill your character or not. Gravity switching and platforming feels good.
Fells very VVVVVV inspired. Good platformer/puzzle game. It felt more or less guessing if you would be able to pass the turrets. It would be great if you also saw their path as well, but that maybe would make it to easy.
I like this! The turrets massively increased the difficulty, but some extra polish like hinting at their timings would help that. The flipping upside-down aspect evoked some VVVVVV vibes for sure, but this has a feel of its own!
Nice idea! When I first read 'turn based platformer' I was expecting something different. This feels more like a puzzle game with platforming, and I like it! What I disliked the most though was the fact that I couldn't foresee the bullets of those pink cannons, but... I think I understand why you made it this way.

Solid iteration on the theme that could be built out into a good game!

The gameplay is very interesting, congratulations!
