As a fellow maker of a puzzle platformer, this was great! A very different take on the looping platformer. I particularly liked the idea of the red clock pickups taking your time. I think a reset button, to start over immediately, would have been nice, but that's pretty minor. Great game!
This game got a bit of rage out of me. The timer is pretty unforgiving. Make one mistake and you are dead. Controls are okay, but too "fast"to land accurately on the moving platforms, especially when you have to jump over the timer to not die instantly.
Still, when a game enrages me, it means it's good and I want to beat it. Nicely done! :D
This one for sure stands out due to how tight timed it is! The pre last level was the harest for me but good fun : )
i enjoyed playibg this onw and the time makes it streesing and makes it more fun
This one not only hit every mark across the board, it also had so much sauce and so much style, it felt really clean and polished and finished. Very strong entry
woah :o thanks a lot. didn't expect this love, i'm glade you liked the game, I really tried to make it feel a finished game, so I’m glad that came through. btw did u make it to the end?
Your game was one of the most well put together ones I've played this jam, and I just hit my 100th game rated, so I've seen a couple. I did not get all the way to the end, unfortunately! I was on a bit of a timetable since I was livestreaming when I checked your game out.
can i have the stream link
Of course, this should be a timestamped URL for the VOD, which shooould be around for about a week: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2534132543?t=0h16m56s
Exactly right amount of difficultly for me. I appreciated the narrative aspect at the beginning, it really adds to the game!
Thanks a lot! glad you enjoyed the vibe and the levels, but did you make it all the way to the end and escape the loop?
Well-executed platformer with stylish graphics and pleasant sound. A relaxing experience, I liked it. Had no trouble with the levels.
Thanks a lot! happy you liked the style and had a chill time with it.
Did you manage to reach the end and fully escape the loop?
I'm not sure about escaping the loop if it's an ending with a secret condition. I remember not getting any new levels and (maybe) a congratulations screen.
I like the game, I have used this art pack before and I really like the art style. I think the audio fits it. 6.5/10
only 6.5 ;( what did i mess please tell me so i can get better and improve myself
I kept clearing levels at the last second — super tense in the best way! The controls felt great, and the levels were really well designed with a solid learning curve for each new mechanic. Had a lot of fun!
Yo thank you so much! that last-second clutch feeling is exactly what I was going for glad u liked the controls and level design
BTw did you manage to escape the loop in the end?
Really strong Limbo-vibes to me! I really loved the narrative, and though it was too difficult for me to beat, I really enjoyed the levels I managed to play!!! I think the mechanics here are super clever, and I particularly love the time orbs. A small suggestion I have is adding some more coyote time, but that's a small nitpick. A very solid entry -- you should be proud (:!
Yo that means a lot, Limbo vibes is exactly what I was going for so I’m hyped you felt that!glad you enjoyed the time orbs and yeahhh coyote time could def use a lil boost I'll tweak that for sure, appreciate the feedback! thanks again for playing and leaving such a wholesome comment
Great visuals and sfx!
Level design is spot on) Wish for reset lvl button (on R mby?) but overall game is great)
thanks a lot, yeah i feel so bad for forgeting the restart button, i have no idea how did forget something important and ez to implement, but i hope u enjoyed it, btw did u beat the game?
Yeah but lvl with platform moving on top of screen (with red dot in middle) almost got me)
Yoooo really cool game! The art is amazing, and the sfx is clean. I do wish the game was a little more forgiving though haha, but I understand it's supposed to be challenging. Love the narrative though!
woah, thanks a lot. i'm glade u liked it. and yeah i went a little bit evil in some levels haha sorry. anyways thanks for the feedback hope u enjoyed it
Smooth and rather stable, straight forward obstacles and also great level design. Art is stunning.
thanks! i spent a lot of time refining the level flow, so it’s awesome to hear the design felt smooth and stable glad the art stood out too
But now the real question is… did you manage to escape the loop?
A simple and nice game! Amazing visuals! I love the aesthetics and concept of the game; the controls and movements are fast, but they still feel smooth. Great job!

Appreciate the kind words! i put a lot of love into the visuals and feel of the game , glad the fast movement still felt smooth to you!BTW, did you make it to the end… or are you still stuck in the loop?
The character feels so nice to control, cool concept!
Thanks a ton! i focused on making the movement feel smooth and satisfying, hope u enjoyed it, diid you manage to reach the end and escape the loop? 👀
Super fun and the visuals are really gripping!
thanks a lot, Penusbmic is the artist don't forget to check out his itch profile, btw did u reach the end?
The gameplay is very fun! I love the visual and audio effects!
Thanks a lot!! glad you enjoyed the gameplay and the effects i put a lot of love into those, appreciate you playing! btw did u reach the end?
Couldn't seem to pass the first level that has a red timer powerup that removes your time, couldn't figure out what opens the barrier to the next level
oh that level the switch was hidden so well that it becomes invisible sorry for that. hope u enjoyed it
Got to the end! Was really tough at parts, but overall great fun! The only thing I really wish was there was a reset button. Especially on the level that had the platform going across the top, I could tell when I had failed, but had to wait around 10 seconds to die. Really solid entry though, captivated me until the end
Damn, respect for making it to the end! Yeah you're totally right about the reset button i didn't add it in time but it's definitely something we're gonna patch in. glad it still kept you hooked till the end, appreciate you playing!
Ayy thanks a lot! Glad you vibed with the art thanks to the artist penusbmic
Some levels do be a bit evil ngl, hope you liked it
The artwork is very cool! Some levels are tough, but with some you can manage to beat it, great game!
