How does your game represent "Slick"?
Slick can mean slippery/smooth so interpreted this into my game as the character slips through time. And in the story the reason he tries to go back in time is to change the meaning of the word "slick"

This reminded me a lot of some of the levels from Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star. The concept here is AWESOME, the tile textures changing in real time is flawless, and it begins the way any good time travel story does; a reckless and irresponsible abuse of power by a teenage protagonist. I would love to see what this could become with a little more time.

nice work! really cool mechanic that i'd love to see in a fully fleshed out game with a story arc and stuff


good stuff! 

please check out Slick-Start if you have the time!

Cool idea, really enjoyed the ways you explored the mechanic :) I did end up getting stuck in some walls oops, so a reset button could have been nice. Well done on this submission! Very unique and interesting (reminded me of a part of Outer Wilds I can’t spoil :p)

I like the concept of the map changing for different time periods, would be cool to see what that plays like once its more fleshed out. Is the game meant to be mute? Some music and sound effects would add a lot even if they are just from a library. Cool game!

Cool use of the different paths opening in different time periods.

oh wow, very ambitious for a jam. from the looks of it youve had much more in mind, right?

The time/map changing is pretty slick. I just wish it was a tad bit longer!

I really liked the concept of going to different areas (or rather different times) and how the appearance changes everytime

Some ways are blocked off during certain times, which I think is a pretty slick addition

Cool idea, I wonder if giving the player some indication of when the time swap will happen could help. I was a bit confused to start when the scene kept changing, I almost thought I was encountering a bug.

I like the concept of it! I tried to stand on one of the bridges when the time swapped and I was expecting something to break so I'm impressed it didn't!

A little bit of audio would've gone a long way I think but other than that I enjoyed it :D
