Miscellaneous
Whenever you complete an anti-level, try undoing to see how it looks going forwards.
This game is very confusing! It doesn't help that PICO-8 only has six buttons, so I had to give each button multiple functions. I spent a lot of time to make sure all of the animations looked good, which I think actually helps with understanding the game's logic. Despite the innate challenges with the premise of the game, I think I did a fairly good job of making it understandable. I think I might extend this later to add some more mechanics, especially those that reverse the flow of time partway through the level.
There is a slightly hidden level select. Press enter to access it from the PICO-8 pause menu.
