Worked great, I enjoyed navigating the mess of characters that end up spawning after a number of rewinds. Not being able to move backwards was a bit challenging but just made it more fun as I then had to move around my failed lives. The art looked very on theme too and the characters were quite endearing.
We're really happy you enjoyed playing our game. Thank you!
Really cool concept and well executed - though like others have said it would be nice to be able to move backwards, and also would be cool if the projections stayed in place after their time runs out rather than disappearing to prevent you having to just sit there for a few seconds each button press.
Yeah I was trying to be clever with the whole 'future' thing, and thinking in abstract terms as if moving right is moving into the future kind of thing.
It didn't work out particularly well, but it was an experiment!
Also, for a more full-fledged version of this we were thinking of pressing down to freeze a character in place, so that character would stay there forever. Would save hanging around, and create interesting problems to solve.
Haha understandable I get it from the artsy perspective - great stuff
it was very annoying that you cant walk backwards. especially in the button level. my dudes kept pushing me off the button ...
the game idea is very interessting and the assets look very good
I was trying to be clever with the whole 'future' thing but I don't think it worked out-.- You can rewind time with LB which helps
