Lovely. Lovely sound, I like the clock. The menu swaps are very slick. I seemed to be able to jump on the pits if holding spacebar? Neat bug/exploit. I enjoyed it, thank you for making it. Made me want to go back and play some old JRPGs. : ) Good times.

Nice platformer! I really like the clock-style menu.

Developer

thanks! I was unsure whether people would find the clock-style menu to be nice and easy to use

It was pretty fun! The movement felt a bit janky at first, but when the levels got harder, they were really precise, which was nice. Well done!

Submitted

For a platformer I feel it's a bit tricky for me since I'm always pressing space bar twice for a double jump lol, but overall the game looks good, the audio was incredible...keep going ! I'd love if you check out our game too

Developer

glad to know you enjoyed it! i will check out your game too

One small suggestion: the camera could be a little smoother.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we used the default gamemaker camera following player feature which is not the smoothest...

Great game, anyways!

Developer(+1)

thanks!

I played until the end, I like the movement. It might be sensitive and hard to control sometime but overall it's very responsive. But I think the issues lies with the hitbox, sometime I could just randomly sink into the floor(which make me unable to jump) or walk on air. This also apply to the box, sometime it just got stuck on nothing. I also noticed that you are unable to jump while standing on the object that triggered by the box. But It's nothing critical, since you doesn't require to do so, but I think it'd be good to point out.
And overall, I really like the clock hand mechanic, which is the main gameplay. It's really fun and unique.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, sorry about the hitbox issues, we wish we had more time to fix all of them :/

Glad you liked the game overall! (except for the bugs)

Submitted

Great job! The escape sequence was epic and the clock-hand mechanic was unique. The difficulty might be a tad high with the sensitive controls, but it made completion all the more satisfying.

Developer

Glad to know you enjoyed it!
I don't know how we didn't catch the sensitive controls, i think everyone has their own sweet spot and all of us devs' are just used to the high sensitivity. We'll keep that in mind if we make things like this again!

Fun game, interesting mechanics and cool interpretation of the theme! The artwork and level design reminds me of fire boy and water girl lol. Cool!

Developer

Thanks for the comments! I was slightly worried that our interpretation wouldn't be creative enough, but I guess it turned out alright in the end!

Submitted

Nice game, the art and gameplay reminded me of the original Prince of Persia game (1989)

Developer

Thanks for playing our game!

Submitted

Cool gimmick, sometimes the boxes kinda bugged out but it was a fun experience overall, also i loved the music!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I wish we had more time to iron out the bugs but it's fine, it is what it is lol

Submitted

Cool stuff, what  a  nice use of the clock :). Controls were solid. Pretty game and nice music choice.  Still playing, partially to hear the music but also because I suck and am into it enough to keep trying. Nice

Developer

Good to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing, we are in need of more votes lol

Submitted
Hey, thanks for checking out our game! I really liked yours, and excellent music selections! Definitely some difficult sections, but it wasn't impossible. Very satisfying ending 
Developer(+1)

Thank you for checking ours out! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Simple yet cool concept, but I softlock myself several times. Overall interesting setting.

Developer

Thanks for playing! 

We did include lots of softlocks to up the difficulty, hopefully it wasn't too much.
