Cool game! 594.16 seconds on my first run. The mechanics were interesting but I'm still not sure I fully understand them. The whole time travel thing was really cool and well done. bit it did get a bit repetitive after a while. Good use of the theme!
The mechanic in this game is very enjoyable. And music fits perfectly.
I would change the lever activation with a key rather than depending on the character's movement. The game is already hard enough and failing because you move a little to close to a lever is frustrating.
Also, a retry button would be great, since the music pushes you to play fast, it's breaking the pace when you have to wait because you know you can't win.
Last thing, I couldn't make it to the end because the game was becoming very laggy (I confess I had to try many times the level with 2 levers and 3 platforms). Maybe some resources could be released between levels?
Hope you continue to improve this game, it got a lot of potential!
interesting game, though you might want to put a seizure warning for the time reverse thing. the game actually gave me a headache after playing this for a long period.
Clever interpretation of the theme! I have to admit I didn't get very far, but I had the feeling if my brain worked better I would've really enjoyed it. I didn't quite get what was happening with the periodic "watch out for the time!" automatic reversals... it might have been easier to understand if you'd introduced the mechanic more gradually. Still, though, great work.
@syrapt0r Thank you! Yeah, those lags were painful to watch, and I have no idea why it's lagging :/ On my pretty bad computer it works. Still, I appreciate the feedback!
Very cool game, the only thing I would change is the interaction with the levers as it was kind of buggy and activate multiple times instanteneosly. Besides that very cool level designs with nice mechanics. But, is a soul a life? Have plants souls?
Really cool game! The mechanic is complex and allows to iterate on the game design. The level are fun and progressive and this allows you to understand principles of mechanic in a logical way. Very clever game! Great job
This game throws my memory back to the good old game boy days when I used to play with some addicting yet frustrating platform game spending several whole afternoons just to make my 10-pixel character jump on an higher platform and being killed a second after by some noisy odd.
Level restart SFX is perfect and i find also the physics better than many platform games you can play online/download from app stores. I didn't feel the need for a more complicated artwork, and that means the gameplay is absorbing me 100%...
Hey! I really enjoyed playing this one! The time travel is quite interesting and fits the story perfectly. I have just one complaint. The horizontal movement is a bit unresponsive. But aside from that the game mechanics work perfectly. Good one! :smiley: :v:
I may have to come back to this to see if I can figure it out more. I didn't quite understand what was going on but the mechanics look fun. Nice effects and sound.
Really nice game for a jam, it's pretty ingenious :D Loved the reverse effect, which give some insanity to the mood of the game. The little intro is funny too, even if you play square, i like to have some humor, to feel the developper spirit ^^ The gameplay is really efficient too and can lead to a full game, with more levels, so maybe go further in post-jam : D
The black square mechanic is also well done, and you did a wonderfull level design around it !

Really nice concept, I managed to make quite some progress but I also had the lagging problem. Very good game though!
As Syrapt0r, on my computer it starts to lag very badly on the third level... I wonder why that is...
Great job
