Love the rewind time mechanic! The aesthetics of the minimalistic artwork and the colors were chosen wisely. The music and the sound effects complement the visuals very well. All together, a well-made grid-based puzzler!!! :D

The text was hard to read sometimes, mainly because of the size. Also, the distortion filter and, in some parts, the bloom/glare were kind of distracting, but nothing game-breaking! :)

Congrats on the game! <3

Thank you for the kind words !

Agree with you on the feedbacks, there's so many small improvements we can make to make the game even more readable !

I absolutely love this game! I love puzzle games (I made one too), and this main mechanic is so wildly creative and fun to explore! Also, the visuals and audio are AWESOME, they create such an atmosphere. There's also a lot of fun little details, the character dialogue is nice and the game is overall really polished. Congratulations!

Developer

The game is incredibly stylish and atmospheric! The sounds in my headphones are a real treat! The puzzles are a bit challenging, but the style is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for your hard work and the atmosphere you created—it's fantastic!

Super awesome game! Really love the vibe of it. The visuals are great and the music is also really good and fits the vibe perfectly. The background is so cool looking, I really like it's style even if I don't know what is. And the environment visuals are really cool and unique too.  The puzzles were very smart and I honestly struggled a lot, I appreciate the skip level feature as I did have to use it 3-4 times lol, but tried to do as much as possible. The dialogue in the earlier levels was really funny and charming too! Very cool idea for the ending sequence too! This is just a really cool game, excellent work!

Thanks for the kind words !

The game definitely needs more on boarding and slower pace to better teach the different mechanics !

Amazing artstyle, music and gameplay. The countdown element is flawless and the puzzles are very tricky but satisfying to complete. The sprite speaking hints to you is a nice touch. Solid game!

Developer

Thank you !!!

I really like all the small details in this game, really shows all the work and polish that went into it. Nearly everything has an animation, and it makes the game world feel so alive! And the fact that the little dialogues that the Hour Guy has sometimes are actually teaching you the game mechanics is very cool

Developer

Thanks for the comment ! We put a lot of work in the visuals so we're glad it resonated with you !

The art-style reminds me of sandbox sims in a very nostalgic way. The clones made my head twist in a clever way! well done :)

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Absolutely stellar art and music ! This game is way too hard for my brain and yet everytime i understood a new mechanic it felt like a divine revelation. The work put in the UI and the animations has to be praised again. Insane work guys

The time travel part of this game was really fun to use! I couldn't imagine what the code for that looks like.

Developer(+1)

Let’s just say trying to figure out interactions between clones and undo-ing them past midnight was a challenge haha. Thanks for playing :)

Developer(+1)

the code still haunts me

Great game with great visuals, would love a tutorial option as well just to understand the objectives and the lore, but regardless amazing stuff for such a jam, also absolutely loved the art style

Developer

Awn thank you! We would have loved to give more love to the tutorials too XD Thank you for taking time to play our game!

Quite a standout entry! Really creative, great visuals and atmosphere. The puzzles were pretty tricky, and I definitely used that skip feature once or twice. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

The mechanic of rewind time is absolutely genious, I really love it !!! The puzzle are very good, I feel very smart lmao, congrats to everyone who worked on this !

I also worked on a game with limited actions to finish a level, and I really like the way you added a timetravel twist to that !!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to try out our game!

This was fantastic! I'm so impressed by the amount of content and how polished it is! Pretty much every time I was like, "What do I do now?" Some text would pop up over the characters head and it immediately put me on the right track. Amazing work!

Developer

Awn thank you, that's so nice 💓 we did put a lot of thought in the introduction of the mechanics as it's pretty tricky lol XD There's definitely still room for improvement, but it's a nice first version for sure!

love the concept! but the large room level is impossible

I know what to do, I just can't do it

Developer (1 edit)

It is possible, but we didn’t have time to tweak this level and it requires perfect execution.

Solution: Move to the orb in a straight line, go back and throw at the second last turn then turn away. When choosing to spawn the next clone choose to spawn on the turn you turn away. You can then grab the orb and leave just in time.

We also had to cut a bunch of levels that would have ramped the difficulty better so that’s our bad. After a weekend of timebending level design, we also had trouble judging difficulty anymore, Sorry! Btw, you can skip levels using F1/F2 if you want to see the others :)

Thanks a lot for playing!

it was super fun! I'll be sure to come back to it to play again!
