How does your game fit the theme?
A timer at the top of the screen (which can be customized to 4 difficulty options) will count down until it hits zero. When it hits zero, your character petrifies, leaving behind a stone statue which can be used to conquer various puzzles and booby traps.

Very creative! The puzzles are very well made too. Only improvements I can think of is making [J] instantly petrify you, and to have different sprites for permanent and temporary statues
The concept is cool, but it's a bit of a shame the level design doesn't make more use of it—especially since the clones you can drop make the levels much easier—though for a game made in four days, it's very good.
the mechanic is interesting, the game is fun, this is the first game with a settings menu and input remapping i've seen in the jam.
being able to speed up time is good and missing from a lot of the other puzzle games in this jam.
Great idea and execution with some clever level design :) Almost gave up on the second to last level but I eventually figured it out and I’m happy I did !
The level design here is impeccable! It was super fun to play, and everything used the main mechanic so well. Def one of the top games I've played this jam. One little detail I like is how the levels continue off of each other rather than get loaded separately. It really adds to the fast-paced feel. Also, the ability to change the difficulty is a great touch that I don't see much in jam games. This is great work!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the level transition. I wanted to try something new and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I appreciate you playing through and giving your thoughts!
This is my favorite game of the jam so far, the petrify mechanic is so cool and the narrative bits are really cute, good job!
Thank you so much! I tried to have fun with the narrative side, as most of my games don't usually have much of a story. I'm glad you liked it!
Very clever puzzles and great mechanic ! I liked how in later puzzles, movement accuracy comes in factor because some jumps are precise ! Liked it a lot !
Thanks for the feedback! I tried to make the platforming a bit precise, but I think I made it a bit too precise... well I'm glad you didn't have much trouble with it!
I'll be sure to play your game and drop a rating!
Great concept that lends to fun puzzles and good platforming challenges. One issue i had was that sometimes it seemed like the jump button didn't work, but outside the last level, it wasn't too much of a problem. Art is simple but pleasant looking, and the difficulty options were a nice addition that added a good challenge, is impressive each level felt like you still almost a second of leeway even in the hardest difficulty. Would love to see more one day, but right now, this feels like a full experience.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, a couple people had issues with the jumping... that's something I gotta work on I suppose. Other than that, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really cool and creative concept! I had fun playing it. Good job!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it. I'll make sure to give your game a rate as well.
Wow that was fun! finished in one go on the recommended difficulty. Deserves far more attention!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it on the recommended difficulty! I wasn't sure if it would be too hard or not.
fun game and a cool concept but I think the countdown detracted from the quality of the puzzles. I wish i was able to petrify myself whenever I wanted to instead of it happening every 5 seconds. also, the controls were a bit too loose for me. That being said I played through the whole thing and had a good time doing so. Nice work.
Thanks for the suggestion! If I were to make this game again, that's probably how I would make it. I think the idea of petrifying whenever you want could be a lot of fun. Appreciate the feedback! I'll be sure to rate your game shortly :D
This is a cool game, with some good music. It has a great concept, but I found a lot of the levels to be quite easy and not take full advantage of the pretty good petrification mechanic, which I think could allow for quite a bit more depth. For a jam though, this is a great entry, good work!
Thanks for playing! Something I wanted to add was a mechanic that allowed you to have multiple statues of yourself at a time for more complex puzzles, but I had to cut it for time. Maybe that could have helped with that.
Anyways, thanks for checking my game out! I'll be sure to check yours out and leave a rating too!
Fun platforming and slight puzzle-solving. Although some of the levels weren't designed that well in my opinion, I could just kind of run through and not think that much.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree the level design could definitely be better. I wanted to add more mechanics to make them more interesting, but as game jams go I just had to scrap it all lol. I'll try to put more time and focus into level design in the future!
I'll also make sure to play and rate your game later today!
I had a lot of fun playing through this one- actually playing through it twice. I got every achievement, and was just craving for more (Adding a 100% badge is a good detail). I would love to see more done with this concept!
First confirmed 100%-er?? Thanks for playing the game in its entirety, I really appreciate that. I'll be sure to play and rate your game later today.
i had a lot of fun with this one. the petrification mechanic made for some interesting puzzles
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzles! I'll play and rate your game as well later today.
