I like the idea with the clock, it feels very mystical. Well done :D

Submitted

 interesting art style

Cool game, had some fun with pain involved, wish there was more player feedback ^^

Fun platformer, I do like that only the hour hand has platform colliders, and the clock mechanic in general is cool

Submitted

The art and music are absolutely on point, though the gameplay is a bit confusing at times. The aesthetic is also great, with the entire level inside of a clock. Thanks for the game!

This is a great concept that's executed very well. I love it!

Developer

thanks so much for playing!

Great game. Awesome idea too. I would like an indicator (some kind of audio?) that i died (i did a lot lol) Nevertheless, i enjoyed it very much. awesome idea, and awesome execution!!!

Developer

I would've definitely added more if i had more time.. Still, thanks a lot for playing!

The idea to create huge clock and make level inside is super cool!

Developer

thank you for checking it out!

I would suggest some color for the character but very cool game, great job!

Developer

thank you!

I like your idea, though the character is small and blends with the background, hard for me to look at. But overall a good platformer with a unique take on the theme :D

Developer

thanks for playing it! :D

Really clever idea, I love the idea of the hands being both a hazard and a way to get through the level!

Unfortunately I found it a bit hard to know which platforms I could stand on at times, and managing to stay on the moving hands was a bit janky which made it hard to get through a level.

Loved the artwork though, and a really great concept!

Developer

That is something I didn't manage to fix in time T-T. Thanks a lot for playing!

I enjoyed the art and music from this game. It is a unique platformer for sure! One thing though, is a small in-game tutorial would have been nice, as I did not read the tutorial at first and struggled to open the door. 

Developer

If I had time I would definitely add it, but thanks a lot for playing regardless!

Wonderfully unique puzzle platformer, this has got to be one of my favourite unique mechanics out of all of the puzzle platformers I've played.

Visual style works very well together, puzzles are well thought out, it's a very functional game.

Physics feels a bit weird at times, especially in the clock hand?  But for the most part not a problem.

Developer

Thank you so much! The minute hand acts as a platform itself, I should've clarified that earlier :D

what a fun cute little game, kinda mesmerising seeing the clock rotate

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!

a very charming little platformer! i wish fullscreen was enabled though, i found myself really straining my eyes to get to see the player, and it made it difficult to fully complete as someone who has poor eyesight 😅 otherwise, i rather like it!

Developer(+1)

Hello, thanks a lot for checking out the game! There's a blue button in the corner of the game that lets you go fullscreen, but it's partially covered by the web display on itch.io T-T, but you can still click on it!

Submitted(+1)

ahhi see! also, id appreciate if you checked out my game when you have the time!

A really well made platformer. Great job on the physics and the movement, the collision is a bit buggy tho, and the sprite could be bigger, but this was well designed platformer overall

Developer

Hello! I do agree the collisions sometimes act up, but regardless, thanks for trying it out!
