Pretty fun if not brutal time based platformer. I like the trial and error based loop that fits the game's world, causing the player to learn the best and most time efficient path to the end. It's extremely challenging which will differ player to player as one mistake will send you back. Getting stuck once will cause the player to fail which I believe should be a little more leniency. Nothing was more annoying than holding jump a little too short and getting stuck on a ledge. I also think you should the instructions somewhere for people unfamiliar with games, just on the itch io page is fine

I like the puzzle-platformer mechanic in which you have to get some places first to grow your time of action!! Found some jumps very tight so couldn’t end the game

Awesome timer based platformer with fantastic art/presentation!

Cool idea! Liked slowly getting further and figuring out how to extend the time.

The trial and error loop will tickle the speedrunner buttons in anyone haha! Super cool concept that has the chance to become addictive enough if you're persistent! 

Really cool take on the countdown theme! I liked how collecting the time threads kept the pressure on while rewarding exploration. It was challenging but satisfying, and the art looked great too. Nice work!

Really interesting concept, I like games that are built on trial and error!

Really fun, the rewind effect and gameplay loop is really good, I'm not sure if there are checkpoints or other levels later on , I think Minit would allow you to reset where you start from at certain places so I think some kind of checkpoint or just several shorter levels would make the backtracking nicer if the level is much longer than I saw, I think I got 3 of the time threads before I eventually gave up as I started getting worse (ceiling spikes)

The art and music were really good! Challenging platformer that was a lotta fun.

very nice twist on the Countdown-Theme! A bit like if MINIT was a platformer. Great job!
