Very creative idea, stealing time from one thing and giving it to something else to solve puzzles. My favorite puzzle was the one which said at top right: "You can't do it! I guess so....". I had to think hard to solve it. The later puzzles were way too simple imo. Love the Mind Over Magnet inspiration, love the art style as well. Great Job!

A very cute game! I liked the one puzzle the most where you had to manage resources and put more than 1 second into the door to run back and forward. I wish you honed in more on that mechanics, because 10 needs 10 seconds is a bit bland

The characters are cool, some sound effects perfect, but the game sound in itself feels really empty. 
I also don't get why time comes in a cardboard box. 

Quick change I would make is change the text in the intro tutorial from click right to HOLD. I was so confused, I almost quit this game. 

A creative idea, and it opens up a lot of interesting puzzle possibilities. The smooth movement, polished effects, and level design make the whole experience feel very refined. I’d love to see this concept expanded with even more complex time-based puzzles. Great job!

I think the game isn't really explained well in the tutorial and I had to go to the controls on the itch page to find out you had to hold left/right. I also only figured out how the time works with the countdown halfway into the demo, but that's probably a me problem as I don't play many puzzle games. About the puzzles, I think they were mostly just too simple, like you have to open this door to get more time and then open the door again to get back out and then do that twice and you can finish the level, so I never really stopped to take in the puzzle, it was basically always just obvious what to do (except one level where you needed to use the countdown, which I still didn't get at that point because it wasn't explained). The pixel art was pretty nice but I feel like it was just a copy of  an early version of mind over magnet (which I get was a joke, but still just boring).  But it's a pretty cool game!!

I really like the concept of using time as a resource which can be distributed amongst different objects! There was a lot of polish added to this game (particles, transitions, trailing line) and consideration on player movement being very smooth. I appreciate the level difficulty as this game paces the introduction of new mechanics well across each level.  I struggled a bit with overflowing time on objects reaching max capacity. Overall, good job!

not too difficult but was fun nonetheless hope you can check mine as well

Really nice game! I loved the art style, I was thinking it was very like Mind over Magnet, then I saw Mark name dropped in one of the level puzzle rooms and that just confirmed it even more! I really liked the mechanic of taking and giving time, I'd love to see this built upon post jam, could make for some very interesting puzzles if you're constantly moving around time between doors, machines, etc. Nice work!

Nice game! The character design felt inspired by Mind over Magnet. Here are some pieces of feedback: Maybe don't make the narrator so condescending. It feels kind of unnecessary and out of place from the rest of the game. Also, maybe make the R key restart, so I don't have to from using wasd + space to pressing escape, then grabbing my mouse to click the restart button. Finally a small thing is that in the first screenshot you call it a Metroidbrania. It is definitely not a Metroidbrania as you can't go back to previous rooms and there are no upgrades. Rather it is a puzzle platformer.

Also I found a bug with your buffer time implementation; if you press jump twice quickly, you can double jump.

Don't take all of this to mean I didn't like your game lol. I did really like it which is why I spent 15 minutes writing this comment!

Oh wow, this is actually great. You just commented my game, so i wanted to check out yours! This is really cool. Its hard but not unsolvable. Sooo much polish, great sound, great visuals, great concept! The idea is very unique as well. Not seen something like this in the game jam. Keep it up! :)

i like it! really creative and the robot is soo adorable! the idea is great though for using the countdown as a good to solve the problem, and i hope the guide part will be more clear for the limit of time anyway good job!

Feel free to test our game thk!

 Of course I'll play your game! I like these kinds of puzzles, although in the first race, which was only the fact that I managed to reach level 4 and I got stuck, I would like to immediately share my knowledge!

very cool drawing and idea of the game, thanks for the review under our game!

Great puzzle idea! Loved the idea of giving doors oil to power them for a certain amount of time, Great artwork too really brings it all together. My only gripe is quita small, the audio couldve been slightly more consistent, but everything else was Great!

Very good execution! I like the level design. A small piece of feedback is that it took me some levels to realize that the small screen following the robot was showing how many seconds I had. I would suggest to either make the text bigger, or move it to the UI. Anyway, congrats on a great entry!

As the rest of yout comments mentioned, I think the game is preety simple and nice (better for most of us). And also u have quite a note on stealing Mind over magnets assets(u have got nice eyes). The game is preety much polished and i liked how u are directly (trying) to have a conversation with mark (lol)

Yo this is sick! The Mind over Magnet influence is strong (in a good way). The polish is actually crazy. To me, it felt good to just move around, which is exactly what you need in a game of this genre. The puzzles were not too hard, but I honestly think that is good in a game jam, since people don't play each game for very long. The juice felt great and everything was pretty intuitive. 5 stars of enjoyment for sure.

Clearly you put a lot of effort into this. A lot of attention to detail, like with the screen that follows you, the particles, and the trail that comes out of it. A good amount of animations. Good title screen, very nice transitions, and a nice pixel font. And I like how the final door brings you to the title screen. It's impressive that you were able to mix it in with quite a few ideas like doors, buttons, levers, etc. And you had a bit of a narrative. I appreciate that those things can be very hard and take longer than expected, and it's very impressive to get all that done in a jam. You are very close to having a great game. I understand, of course, there is never enough time with a jam, but I think it would be worth focusing on having a consistent art style (for example, I felt some objects had different sizes of outlines) and perfecting the puzzle design. It's easy to get lost in the polish; I do it every jam, but you will find you can create more time if you focus on those first. 
You would be surprised how much of a difference those two things will make to the feel of the game. 
I hope I'm not being harsh; you got a lot done by yourself in a jam regardless.
Great work!

This is pretty good, the art is pretty good, audios are good, the idea is nice, Great job!! :)

Dude, we have the same central mechanic on our games :0 Its like a different perspective of the same thing. The level of polish on the art is incredible (despite being MoM style). The only thing to mention is that the puzzles with levers didn´t feel like puzzles, because it was "activate this" then "activate that" and yeah solved it.
Great work on the game!

I am not a fan of the fact you borrowed Mind Over Magnet's setting and look. The ideas behind the mechanics were strong but at no point did I feel challenge to solve a puzzle. Believe in yourself to make your own universe for your games to belong in! I played this on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/nebsterlive

Really cool little game! It could be surely expanded on!
