If you think, that rewinding, pushing forward and action button are insufficent for having fun, try this. Also, I love "Places only we know".
Это чудесная, теплая и ностальгическая история без слов, оставляющая ощущение светлой грусти. Аж олдскулы свело. Оригинальная концепция, интересная механика, загадки нетривиальны, визуальный стиль и музыкальное оформление очень приятные. Медитативный геймплей. Чем-то отдалённо напоминает Monument Island. Получил удовольствие.
Very cool little short game. got all of those indie vibes with intersting mechiancs and all achieved with just 3 buttons, left, right and space. I recommend to check out.

解谜难度不高,时间回溯的机制只是基础,利用场景的机制才是这游戏的优秀设计。除了那个斧子初见没想到,其他都解出来了。画面和音乐都很小清新,结尾有点难受
Imaginative & fun with a charming story behind it. Very simple controls, with inventive mechanics. Thoroughly enjoyed playing through this & may replay it to find more of the Easter eggs. It's not a particularly long game, but equally it doesn't outstay its welcome or start to feel grindy or repetitive. Recommended!
Было пару раз, что я обращался к гуглу (момент с молниями). По части головоломок - уровень medium, зачастую даже немного ниже. Еще ни какая игра не переплюнула machinarium по уровню сложности) По самой игре - красивая графика и музыкальное сопровождение отличное.
美术很美,喜欢清新休闲的请入。缺点是流程太短了。
Interesting take on puzzles, but found movement/gameplay kinda annoying at times. A good step for the developers but I wouldn't play a longer version.
Me in the middle of the game: "There will be some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at the end that makes the onions cut". Game: "No no, it's just a puzzle game" Me at the end of the game: "Damn you, onion. Damn you, game."
