My brain is fried. Brilliant idea! Having to go  all the way back along the exact same route you just walked– and you came up with this in 72 hours? That’s insane!

Fun little game and really interesting take on countdown!

Submitted

Very creative :)

Don't know if my brain is too fogged up but I got stuck somewhere.

Interesting mechanic nonetheless and the ticking is now stuck in my brain good game!

Submitted

This was amazingly done!

It was a little difficult to figure out how things worked to begin with, and I still don't fully understand certain aspects, but it was also cool how there was no 'tutorial' or direct teaching of the concepts, but the level design tried to teach them to you instead. 

Then the fact that you go back to certain areas shows how much thought was put into the design of this game

Cool challenge to think about. propperly added a puzzle into a platformer.

Really clever game! I loved the Metroid vibe and how nicely you tied the theme into the dual countdowns. Solving the puzzles felt super satisfying once everything clicked. My only real feedback would be that the rewind mechanic was a bit confusing at first, a softer introductory puzzle or subtle visual cues would make the onboarding much smoother. A simple map or environmental markers could also help with navigating the maze. Overall, a really solid jam entry, great job !

Wow, the presentation here is top-tier. Super polished jam game. Great job

Very clever mechanic and quite challenging! Well done! My brain was definitely not prepared for this hahaha

wow! such a simple and amazing idea for a platformer! god, why didn't i think of this? great game, i feel like coming up with working ideas for platformers is tough, but i really love yours, both the art and sounds are super pleasant without being overloaded, gonna take notes from you next time

After I got to the final door one second out-of-phase, I missed something important, and in my attempts to guess at a correct path, caught a very old torch which essentially reset the entire game. That hurts. I feel like I was probably meant to draw a map and keep notes of all the timings. Complicated and extremely creative game. Well done.

Really interesting mechanic and loved this take on the theme! I'm probably not smart enough to figure it out, because I got to a door with a 999 countdown and I can't go forward or backward. I would love to see more puzzles like this, though, it's very fun!

Submitted

Fascinating take on the theme, but damn did it make my brain feel smooth…

Really well executed in atmosphere and design, and the gameplay is very captivating. I think it is indeed a bit hard to get into, but that is part of the appeal after all!

Good job, this was a good challenge and submission!

Submitted
