Cute, easy to understand but difficult (for me, at least) to actually apply, my brain just did not want to think about current me and reverse me playing out in parallel. I think there's a lot of potential here!

Charming game! But while the concept seems fun, I was a bit confused on the enviroment, its game elements and about the rewind feature. Sometimes, I got through the "parts" by pure luck and just goofing around. But it's definitely a potential for something better! Good job!
This is a cool concept that had me curious right away, but it's difficult. At times I had a bit of a difficult time understanding what I was trying to do, making it quite trial and error. That meant lots of hopping back and forth, not fully grasping what I was doing wrong, because I wasn't totally positive on how to move forward. It felt like it required very precise timing. I think it's also just fairly difficult to think backwards for a longer period of time, but that could very well just be me. So it's an interesting mechanic for puzzles for sure, but it went a little hardcore on the difficulty too soon :) Imo it really is fine to just start with the most basic imaginable puzzles, simply to let the player get the hang of the mechanics.
Not super original but it has enough ideas of its own and it's well made.
Brain too small but good game ! The sound design could use a bit more work though :)
I really like the visual difference in gameplay between when you're going forward in time versus when your "past self" is in the level. The five second timer maybe felt a little too challenging/limiting when trying to do time-sensitive platforming. Otherwise, great atmosphere in this game!
I haven't finished the game yet, BUT THIS IS SO INTERESTING! I've never seen a game with this kind of time reversal puzzle mechanics, and it's so fun! Not to mention the stellar artwork and soothing music. The only minor critique I have is that it doesn't really feel like it's taking that idea of an emordnilap, since it's more about reversing time, so I feel like it would've been fine without that concept. It's just a very minor nitpick though, this game is awesome otherwise! :m
PEAK. Would pay money for this game. I can't believe that this masterpiece was made in the same 4 days i had. One of the best and most creative submissions and also games in general.
Heyheyyy, I played your game and managed to finish it in 5 minutes, here are some random thoughts:
- I like the reverse time mechanic, but at first based on the sound and visual I thought it was some enemy or something. Later I realized that it was me what I did before. But in a way it didnt really look like it was reversing because it was moving my steps but facing where it was moving you know
- I'm not very good at puzzles so it took a while to figure out how to progress sometimes
- The menu could use some sounds
- The visual style of the game is awesome but it seems a bit inconsistend where the character and interactables are quite polished but everything else feels from different world.
Interesting game!
Beautiful game, super atmospheric! I might be too bad a puzzle, but I could not figure out how to get past the third puzzle after a good 5 to 10 mins trying.
The graphics and atmosphere are wonderful! It was a bit challenging for me, but I kept figuring things out little by little and pushing further. Really fun :)
Surprisingly very pleasant input, which is rarely seen in platformers!
