Solid game, kinda like I Wanna Be The Guy meets Prince of Persia. there were some neat mechanics too. one tiny nitpick is occasional crashing but that's rectified by being able to select any level you want when pressing play at the menu screen so you don't really lose progress. Looking forward to more projects from you! Here's my (brief) playthrough if anyone wants to watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/QPaxZaAW7hU
If you want a challenge of your sanity and patience, give it a try
tis cute little game it is fun has smoll issues but it really enjoyable little game
I don't always have a lot of time to play but what little bit I have played has been enjoyable. The art and overall style for the game is very unique and makes it one of a kind. The story has a good plot and you know where you're supposed to go. I really enjoy the jump mechanics and being able to "rewind" on failed attempts. I look forward to being able to play this more when I am able.
Had a great time playing this game - super fun and addicting. Please do show some love to Yazan, the developer who worked really hard on it. Highly recommend 🩶
First I gonna say the concept from this game was pretty interesting. The idea for time reversing was actually smart, and played a key point into the story. Not only did that added into the story, but also the night/day in-between to avoid traps, monsters, and bosses really hit a cord with me. The controls are great, and overall it's a great game. Now for the issues I had was the unreadable text, and a couple of the bosses was really "easy". Another problem was that when engaging with the "block" level I was getting rather frustrated about. Took me at least several tries to finally pass the level. I'll say Yazan this was a great debut for you! I can't wait to see more please let me know when your next game is! Thank you for the fun experience!
this was a super fun game! very cute and kept me wanting to keep trying!
Fun platformer and adorable art!
I suck at platformers, but I genuinely had a great time moving throughout this cool world and figuring out all of the mechanics and how to really use them to make progress. I haven't finished it yet, but the levels are super fun and I intend on finishing them in the future!
Very fun! The gimmick of rewinding time to solve puzzles is clever, and using an x-ray filter to hide/reveal traps and enemies is very cool.
