i cant remember where i saw this mechanic before but it was an excellent choice to use it for this jam, your level design was very solid, teaching players your mechanics right up until the last level, where i successfully clipped though the small wall using the green moving platform (dont worry i beat it)! the only thing hurting you here is a lack of sound effects, even if reversing the music on the back loop was clever ;)

cool game! i like the artwork and the mushrooms are really cute! the mechanics are original and fun to play. nice work! if you want you can rate my game, i rated your's :)

A very clever idea, and the fact that you were able to code the rewinding system, along with doing everything else, for a game jam is truly impressive!!!

Also very cute art, the intro cutscene set the tone very well and was just a blast! :D

Submitted

I'm not usually into puzzle games but i was really having fun with this one trying to solving the puzzles and figuring out how much time i have to wait and act, and the artwork is adorable as well. great job!

Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in @ 1:06:42. The concept was very creative, I think you can create more interesting puzzles with this idea!!! 

Submitted

Creative concept and cool art style. Puzzles could be pretty challenging too!

Submitted

can't get it to run so I wont vote but cute lil mushroom dudes

Submitted

I didn't know what to do at first because there weren't many instructions but I got to know how the game worked. I really like puzzle games so I enjoyed playing this :)

uuhhh my brain hurts, but i got far, and i'm impressed by that bc I'm no good puzzler. Good introduction, good levels. The character to sprite in the level feels a little whimsical, and the mechanic itself isn't explained further. I think that would be needed to progress further in complex levels bc the easier ones are on vibes instead of strategy, and i think you could overcome that. Adorable art and the music is also fitting. The intro is appreciated, but a tired trope, I think if you want to develop further that think about the story first perspective than mechanic instead of mechanic perspective than story. Great job!

Submitted

Very interesting concept. My only complaint is that there aren't enough levels—I would've happily kept playing. 😄

Submitted

this is such an amazing concept and so amazingly executed!

Submitted

Nice game.  I really like the art.

Submitted

wow. this was a brain buster at first until I started to realize how the game worked. The truffles are super adorable and I loved their animations. With their feet they kinda look like teeth haha. This was a fun twist on the jam theme.

Submitted

Really, really creative game, feels very mature and a lot of thought has gone into it!

It does get a bit overwhelming when you have a lot of things to track but it is still manageable ;)

Great job, congratulations on your game!!

Submitted

This is actually so creative!! I had so much fun strategizing about what to do before I had to switch bodies and reverse time loll this was fun! I hope you make more levels!

Submitted

Super cool idea! Each of the puzzles were interesting and felt quite novel. When there were a lot of moving parts it could become quit eoverwhelming, but watching an attempt back once or twice usually led to a quick solve. The artwork is also really cute and the music reversing when you character plays back is a neat touch. Good job! Really liked this

Submitted

This game is great. I love the reverse of the player and the back and forth of knowing what to do to help your other self.

Submitted

Hey, thanks for checking out our game! I must say wow, I loved this idea for the jam! This definitely took some time to think through some of the puzzles, but that's probably just a me issue because I could not think backwards for some reason lol. Either way, I loved the narrative and artwork for your game, music was nice as well!

Submitted

pretty hard to get the hang of, but once you do its rlly fun!
