Such a cute game! It really reminds me of a game I used to play on Game Boy Color.

How does your game fit the theme?
Every screen gives you a limited number of actions — each move, push, or shot counts down that budget. Once you're out, you're stuck until you undo or reset. The core loop is built entirely around managing that countdown: plan your moves, spend them wisely, and rewind time when a plan doesn't pan out.
(Optional) What would you like to be called if GMTK features your game?

There are some neat mechanics here! Unfortunately I didn’t get to see much of the time mechanic, since I couldn’t figure out the “Ashes and Regrets” room for the life of me (I’m wondering if there’s just some means of interaction I’m missing, but E doesn’t appear to do anything in that room…). I enjoyed what I played up to that point, though. There were some minor graphical glitches, but otherwise everything seemed to be working fine. Nice work :)

Throwdown at 3:00Sadly I ran into some bugs too but besides that it's one of the coolest games I've played! Looks and feels very polished and it's a super cool concept and I really like the multiple routes aspect of it.

Step FactorySprite work and sound design are great! Loved the little rewind effect, congrats on completing the game jam!

FlickerfallI found the consequences room, and I don't think I am able to get out. The art and animations are great, though!

Get My Good SideQuite good ideas here. I did find it a bit confusing what I could and couldn't interact with, but that is easily solved in the future! Well made!

Greedy GooseI didnt really understand the one with the furnace and the fire.
Very cool art style tho.

Glungus Clicker: Final BattleOh I loved this. First of all the main character design is so good. The puzzles are clever. I'd love to see more

Button Royale 99Interesting idea but I think it was a bit to buggy for me to fully enjoy it. Also some more explanation about the mechanics would be nice

Thelonious' ClimbReally good! A bit buggy at times (I managed to get infinite actions by undoing my permanent action interact) and I had to restart a bit to get it, but very good overall. I specially like the artwork and the puzzle design. I think with some more development this mechanic could be a real gem.

Sharpshooter SaloonGreat game! Godlike artstyle and satisfying gameplay, would definitely see this as a standalone Steam release one day :)
