This is such a clever idea! It really broke my brain though. I couldn't get very far, but I think that is more of the fact that this kind of thing (keeping track of so many things) is just in general not one of my strengths. But I think its does a great job at being the kind of game that it is, and its really well polished to boot!

I loved this one, the constant rush to change numbers was really fun and enjoyable, keep it up

Insane concept in the best way! I liked the "slow march" (of time) in the background– wasn't too distracting from gameplay (even if my head was spinning). I have a weird thing with reading numbers, so this wasn't for me, but I think it's such an interesting game mechanic!!

Spent my first go through dumbly clicking the numbers waiting for that to do something, but then I read the controls in the description and immediately realised just how cool of a concept this was - very well done, best of luck in the jam!

Nice artwork, good graphic design :)

Very cool and clever idea, but it gets tough quickly (especially with those modifiers that speed up time). It's very hard to figure out what should I switch with what, when everything is incredibly fast, maybe going backwards and I have 2 spaces that would hurt me :D

Don't get me wrong, I see that was the goal, to make it frantic and fast-paced. Maybe I'm just really bad at it :D

This one had me (C)LOCKED IN. After a while, when it all starts to get faster, it gets sooo intense. Great work

Unique and creative central mechanic, never played anything like it before! Quite difficult, but I had fun. Died almost instantly in my first round, but after a few rounds I  started to get the hang of it. Really nice visuals and sound design.

Got up to 264 secs before my brain exploded, very fun!

Really fun game and concept! It was too stressful for me when there were more things lol. Really fun though, I played it for a while. Well done!

Very interesting and innovative. Though most of the time I was just randomly swapping numbers on the clock without understanding how the mechanics work. The hook is quite strong and keeps making me coming back to try for more.

This was a top notch entry, I'm so made I'd not thought of combining the two different input methods. 

That said, I did run into a bug on Floor 4 where after running the box into a laser I couldn't grab it any more.

This game is so difficult, I think I'm addicted to it. The style and UI is very post-modern and cute!!! Would recommend!!
BTW I BET YOU CAN'T BEAT MY HS CUZ IM THE GOAAAAAT

This game was quite difficult to get the hang of but it's super fun and actually addicting once I got it down. I love the stylized UI and the soundtrack, this game is very unique!

This is the farthest I've gotten so far

Wow this game broke my brain haha it took me a while to understand and to properly be able to play it. I really like the polish on the game though. It came together super well and is really creative. Nice job!
