I saved the world! All the level are really well designed, I never felt I did the same thing twice. It was fun, good job!
Thank you for playing my game!
Some clever puzzles, and messing with time manipulation in a gamejam isn’t easy (i know, i tried 😅)
Well done
Very creative puzzle game! I was a bit confused at the start because Norbit's offscreen but pressing random buttons(though maybe I should learn from the president) dealt with that. Really charming characters and overall feel, and I love how you can get crushed between the clock hands. The start also looked a bit familiar...
cool concept
why are we naked?
We are wearing clothes.... They just happen to be the same colour as our fur.
oh ok should have knowen
Pretty cool concept for the game. I would just suggest changing the stop time button because it's hard to press space and move at the same time. Also the box is pretty hard to move, I almost got stuck in level 3 because the box was stuck against the wall
Thank you for the feedback!
oh man, your game has so much charm to it!! i really appreciate the talking sounds and the silly art. you also made good use of the game's mechanics with the puzzles. and i very much enjoyed the monsters vs. aliens reference. really good work!!!
wow! nice work on this! the time manipulation and clock hand mechanics are super clever, total braid vibes. the intro was hilariously silly (omg that monsters vs aliens reference), and finding out you recorded the flute sound effects yourself is just awesome! really cool physics puzzles and super charming atmosphere. loved it!
Thank you!
Very cool puzzle game. One feedback I want to give is time stopping mechanic should be press to to stop/unstop time instead of hold to stop time cuz I have a problem with moving with wasd while also need to hold spacebar to stop clock hand from sweep me away. Other than that I really like it :D
The intro was extremely silly, which did not prepare me for a pretty solid puzzle game!
It might be helpful to explain some of the mechanics a bit more (e.g., secondary effects of reversing time).
this game was like if monsters fought alians
Someone finally got the Monsters vs Aliens reference!
Nice game! I really liked the puzzles, they make good use of the time mechanics.
Very creative idea! I really liked the puzzle design, I wish the game would've had some mouse controls for the stopping and rewinding time, so it would've been easier to navigate. Congrats on an amazing entry!
Also, feel free to check our game if you have some time, would love to get some feedback :D
A very unusual concept! Some of the puzzles were a bit too difficult for me!)) Nice work!
Cool concept and this reminds me of playing the game Braid. Happy I clear the game :D
I really enjoyed the game, and it was fun all throughout!
The only complaint I had was the sound when you died/failed.
Other than that, extremely fun and worth playing
The idea of being able to rewind time and stop time is really cool.
I really liked the puzzles and the way you play with physics.
I didn’t quite understand the hourglass in the top-left corner. I realised it was my power gauge, but I couldn’t figure out how to read it
That is my fault for explaining it poorly. The top half of the hour glass shows roughly how much time power you have left like a real hourglass. if all the sand falls to the bottom the glass will turn red which means that you can't use it while it recharges. Hopefully that helps!
Now that you mention it, I feel a bit silly. x)
It actually makes perfect sense I hadn't even noticed the sand was running out. I only really noticed the hourglass when you hid a crate behind it.
Cool mechanic. Nice use of clock hands.
Solid use of the theme and the time manipulation ability was really cool! I did find it a tad difficult and it was hard to understand what I was doing wrong and why everything sped up so much after pressing the button. But still good fun and you executed the time ability really well.
Really enjoyed this one! The clock mechanic is such a creative idea, and running around while manipulating time made for a really fun experience. The silly atmosphere and charm made it stand out, great job!
Cute and fun but boy did I not like pushing that block!
