When I first started this, I wanted to create some kind of world builder where you only get one tile every 10 seconds. I realised about 7 hours into creation that what I had created wasn't much fun. So, rather than throw in the towel, I realised an old game I had always wanted to remake was calling out to me, and it just so happened to be have a clock based level.

So, my thought was to have a platform game with blocks that are only active, or inactive once every ten seconds, and I realised it didn't always have to be the same second. So I could create some fairly unique challenges based on that.

Overall though, I think it often just creates unnecessary waiting. If I was going to turn this into a full game, I'd probably either have a way to speed up the clock or just not depend on it so much.

Nice! Cool idea having the platforms connected to 1 specific second!

I love the level design here! It was a ton of fun climbing the tower- there are some really tricky sections in there, especially when getting used to how the wall-jumping works, but I appreciated the challenge and clever use of the timer tiles. The art is also pretty charming along with the character's voice. Really well done!

Fun little game, took me a little time to get used to the jump/double jump/ hover but in the end solid game with good platforming. I would have liked a little more attention to the sound design, some of the sounds were a little annoying to listen to a lot. Otherwise well done!

Funny characters! The collision boxes were a little unforgiving at some points but kept me playing (:

Great idea, it's really fun. Would welcome more polish, but that ofcourse can come later.
