pleasant sound, liked it! but difficult to understand the logic of how to choose the correct order of layers

This is genuinely one of the most creative entries i've played in the jam so far. the artwork goes soooo hard and the ui sfx and music are all tactile and perfectly fitting. I would've liked a bit more hints initially about what every button actually does, and it took me like 4 levels until i figured out what the icons all actually mean. Awesome work to the team and great job!

Such a well-thought-out game! I only skipped last three levels (because I was thinking about ~~losing~~ spending my time). I loved how there is a natural hinting mechanism: when you play a level for some time, you can start to calculate how many segments are missing and where which gives you a natural hint for your actions.
Also thanks for the artworks, breeze of fresh air in AI slop era.
Really fun game, its one of the games I spent the most time on.

A fun puzzle game with a nice variety of manipulation mechanics.
The difficulty curve also feels fairly well-done, which isn't easy within the scope of a jam. Nice job~
~~now to see if I can clear the last few stages...~~

I think this game has a lot of quality, I really like the graphics! L appreciates the fact that you can undo a move and you’re not necessarily starting over in the game! The music is nice and I like that there are some things said between each puzzle!

Very happy you enjoyed. We put everything we had into it (everything but sleep, nobody slept) and it's so gratifying when someone gets the full effect. :D

This is the best use of theme I've seen yet. An absolutely fantastic puzzle game. No notes.

Fun idea, but I surely don't have enough working braincells at this hour to go blow 20th minute :v

Happy to find a game with similar idea.
Nice adio and visuals.

Puzzles were a bit too challenging for me. And not knowing how many levels are left and the being so many of makes the experience stressful.

Interesting puzzle well executed!

really dig the changing art and how the clock puzzles work. it's a bit of a bummer you can't just save your progress because it takes a while to beat, still a really well made creative puzzle game though, good stuff!

Submitted

Garrett_jDeveloper51 days ago

thanks so much for checking it out! Yeah, we wanted to include saving or a level select, but ran out of time. If you feel like picking up where you left off later you can press “end” on your keyboard to skip puzzles and find your way back to your most recent level.

FranckRJSubmitted51 days ago(+1)

I only went to 35:53 (I have a lot of games to rate on my backlog, and time's running up :(), and sadly as there is no save I have to restart from the beginning if I want to finish it. But I liked every levels that I did, it fits the theme perfectly and all the ambiance is really cool. Good job!

ElricDeveloper51 days ago(+1)

Yeah, It's unfortunate we had no time to implement a proper save function (just game jam things). However, if you press "end" on your keyboard you can skip through the puzzles to get back to your previous spot. Give that a shot if you feel moved to finish the last few at some point.

Great to hear that you enjoyed the puzzles you played though. :D

IngurSubmitted52 days ago(+1)

Wow, this game is so much fun, I love the difficulty, and I love how the artstyle changes depending on the time. I also figured out this game is perfectly playable on my phone! I'm definitely playing more of this on my next long commute, amazing!

ElricDeveloper51 days ago(+1)

Playable on mobile, you say--we might have to lean into this for a full release. :O

So happy to hear you enjoyed!

Really cool interpretation of the team and solid game! Congratulations :)

TIN-slayerSubmitted52 days ago

Loved the game! Very cool interpretation of the theme: art changing in the background and puzzle times always going down are such good ideas.

Btw how to solve 43:17, I spent so much time and this is the best I could get:

Submitted

Garrett_jDeveloper52 days ago

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it.

You're so close! Seeing as you've only got a lock left, perhaps there's a way you could use that to cause a 1 to be displayed on the 3rd digit after all of your other actions have been used.

SwitchDeveloper52 days ago

Experiment using lock, especially in combination with the other effects.
If you get frustrated, feel free to use end to skip it.

An excellent game, definitely one of my favorites from this jam. Congratulations on the amazing job!

Rollback: A spaceship battle game

TripTurnerSubmitted52 days ago(+1)

I am blown away with the quality of this game. I can't even put into words how much I enjoyed playing this! I completely lost track of time while playing!

This is such a creative idea, both in the context of the theme and just in general! I've never seen a game focused on manipulating an analog clock using the indivdual display segments, and it's executed so incredibly well! There were multiple ways to increase and decrease the amount of lighted segments and multiple ways to move them around, both within the individual number and between numbers. It was also the perfect amount of challenge; I never felt too lost on a puzzle, but I definitely had to work towards the solutions. When I finally figured out a puzzle, it felt amazing!

The atmosphere is also incredible! The art is really well made and complements the vibe perfectly. The music also really adds to the experience and narrative. This might be the best game I've played for this jam yet!
