This games mechanics are very unique and very fun! I'm not the best with platformers and definitely struggled a lot but had fun nonetheless and had some very funny fail moments. If you like games like Celeste, make sure to check this one out!
Alright, so I played this game last night. It was short, sweet, felt fast-paced without being a race, and was overall enjoyable as a cutesy little game. The rewinding time aspect of it was so expertly done (even if I didn't realize I could to it at first since I skipped over that tutorial) and the levels were unique without being overly complicated or ruining the pace of the story! There were only a few things I mentioned having issues with or actively had issues with on my stream [i](spoiler warning)[/i]: [list] [*]The text was a bit hard to read at times due to the font [*]Maybe making the tutorial buttons easier to see, since I completely missed the rewind tutorial due to not seeing it (I have bad eyes) [*]The bullet attacks were a bit easy to miss at first, which could be fixed if there was something to make the bullet stand out more (Maybe it's a me issue since I can't see red well) [*]The block level became repetitive since dying makes you restart the whole level, which a minor checkpoint (maybe by the character of that level) could really help alleviate
Its a fun little game reminds me of What lies in the multiverse a bit with the time rewinding, other then that fun puzzles and areas that can make a guy rage lol
this was a fun little game! if you like things like celeste or mario, this is definitely your kinda thing. it was a nice experience, with the only issue being slight rough translation. other than that little issue, i think its a labor of love and i enjoyed my time with the game
Fun game!! Awesome work!
The game explored some really interesting mechanics! Time reversal! Day-night reversal! Gravity reversal! All of this was super cool, and the visuals were really cute! The level design was also well thought out. Though, I did use wall-jumps more than I think was intended to. There were a few times where I felt a little lost about what to do, but after some trial and error, I was able to figure things out somewhat intuitively. Something to watch out for is that there is no option to save, so the game has to be finished in a single sitting. It would also be nice if there were some indication of how much further there is until the end. I'm really bad at platformers, but it was still really fun to play nonetheless! Great job, Yazan!
I enjoyed the unique time rewinding mechanic in the first part of the game; though when you can no longer rewind yourself it challenges spikes. I'm not great at platforming so I found some later levels to be difficult, especially with no checkpoints English isn't the creators first language so there's some spelling and grammar issues but I don't think it impacts the enjoyment of the game.
If you love platforms and time power, this is a game for you. I had fun, I did. But i found out this type of game wasn't for me as I'm not in these types of games. But besides that, give it a try yourself!
Truly did perfect my friend. This is a good game i reccomend, Even though I broke the game a few times, I loved every part. Even for someone like me who reversed time a lot, this is a fun game to relax even to, and I will be playing it more
This was extremely fun to play! It has such unique mechanics that I enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a little challenge. I do have a bit of suggestions however if its possible. If there's a way to be able to change things like graphics or volume in game that would be great! Also I loved the music in the game and was wondering if there was a way to make it loop as it stops after a bit until the next level or until you die. Lastly this one is very tiny but their are a bit of grammar and spelling mistakes but overall like I said earlier I would TOTALLY play this again.
