Jimmy C this year so flop bro, I've been watching bro for a long time :(

Had a fun time with this! The layout of the rooms was interesting and so were the mechanics. My only gripe is that I wish I could have explored the final mechanic further! Twisting the hourglass to change the sand level and change the layout was exciting, but just as it appeared the game ended. Eitherway, had a good time, nice work!

Submitted

Epic platformer with unique mechanics, especially when the music gets intense whenever you picked up the hourglass. Great work!

Submitted

I loved the mechanics, especially when you introduced reversing the hourglass, added a whole other level of depth and complexity to the types of puzzles you could make. And the puzzles themselves were a delight to play around in and figure out. The visuals are clean and the music gives it a really relaxing vibe even when you’re running for your life. The only issue is hitchy performance on web. The game itself runs fine but the camera jump a little bit and throws me off my trail. A sensitivity slider and pause menu would’ve been nice but hardly a problem for a jam game.

This was really fun, congrats on the submission!

Nice idea, beautiful art and clever level design!! Only wish the jump was more responsive.

Interesting game :) I am a fan of your youtube channel and your games. The art style and the music compliments the implementation of the theme well.

For me the biggest challenge of the game was high mouse sensitivity, it was hard to navigate the surroundings when one wrong move made the camera rotate 180 degrees unfortunately. 

The puzzle elements of the game are on par with the ones you made previously.

Good luck on the jam!

I would be happy if you check my submission out too :) I still didn't get that much feedback.

Huge fan. I played all your games and I found it interesting that you went with another 3d game instead of a puzzle platformer like in 2024. 

Some things I noticed: 

At least for me mouse sensitivity was a bit high, (it also was really high in my game even though in unity editor is wasn't so I think it might be a WebGL thing. 

The art and sounds definitely fit the game very well. 

I enjoyed the level design and how there were multiple ways to win. It really added to the temple enviornment feeling. 

A couple ideas to improve hectic feeling more when you get the sand is adding effects or a camera bob. 

Also, is it possible for you to rate my game and give me some feedback? Thanks!

Really great game and a very cool concept!

Love the hourglass flip mechanic. Excellent game, the kind I would expect from the dev of Little Slime Blows Up. I found a way to get through the final level with only one flip.

Submitted

good concept.

wow it seems like I’m a speed runner

Very cool concept for the countdown

Submitted

Nice game! I really enjoyed this smooth platforming. :D

Submitted

Made me feel like Indiana Jones. The use of the how hourglasses can be flipped was also very clever.

Submitted

Very good game!

Big fan! Really loved the mechanic with flipping the hourglass, I thought that made the last puzzle quite interesting, and the little trick where the drums kick in once you grab the hourglass was simple but effective.

Submitted

I thought it was cool to see both numbers on the hour glass at the beginning and then playing with the flip mechanic was super cool. I definitly wanted more levels because it was super enjoyable and felt like a good puzzle with good mechanics.

Submitted

Really creative concept, I struggled a bit due to lag, and the pc download turned out to be the web verision zipped, so i didn't get to play smoothly, but other than that it was really fun!

Whoops, my bad on the downloaded version! I'd meant to add a windows build but ran out of time to build and submit it, I was down to the wire fixing submission issues for the web one lol

Submitted

The puzzles are good, I really like the flip hourglass design. And I have noticed the details on the hourglass's art design, interesting. But as a 3D platformer, the jumping could feel better. That said, it’s still a very impressive game jam project. Well done.  And more puzzles! plz

Submitted

Good physics based 3D puzzle, why it is giving my vibes of prince of persia??
