Great take on the theme! It'd be awesome to see the visuals enhanced here in some way, and as others have called out, putting a spin on the reversed part of each level would really take this up a notch to be even more interesting. Thanks for making and sharing—I had fun playing my way through each level as it is!
Kind of fresh take on the reverse theme, and pretty good executed as well. Took me a bit to get hang of the jump mechanics, but I also suck at using WASD for movement. Good puzzle level progerssion as well. :)
Game is nice though I feel the reversal mechanic could be explored a bit more. like maybe certain platforms appear when you reverse or maybe there are blocks when touched that reduce or increase time. Also level 3 and 7 are impossible to get 3 stars in. I like the star mechanic as it kind of pushes you to try faster though i wish the game told me resetting the level with 'r' actually keeps the time.
Great job. This was a nice take on the theme I have fun trying to speed run my attempts. it was challenging but rewarding. Thanks for the fun game.
i like this a lot! best one yet personmcsomeone :) kiss kiss

so fire love this 5/5 was a little hard at points but i preserved and won
can be hard in some part but that’s okay. nice minimalistic game!
bugged level where you fall down, can't go up as it fails (probably thinks that because your below initial point you felt off)
Which level number?
I had ideas about the game like that, when i brainstormed what to do for that jam :)
Nice game
I have just one game-design issue with that idea. So, you can reach the goal, but just wait (lets say for a minute) before you touch it. So now you have a lot of time to reach the starting point. Not sure how to fix that right now, interesting design puzzle.
Thank you for playing! That design issue was intentional! I thought of it as you are intentionally budgeting more time to finish the level. To counter this, I added the stars system to encourage going fast and not just wasting 60+ seconds at the goal. Probably could be more graceful but thats future me's problem.
