Whew that was a tough one... couldn't make it through the first level. IT was kind of frustrating every time you died you had to wait through a loading screen and also switch from keyboard to mouse to restart the level... wouldn't be a big deal except dying was veryyyy frequent lol
I thought the artwork was really cool! Very unique style. And the audio was good, too. Nice work!
Thanks for playing. i have started working on the game. will be adding more difficulty levels and will be improving the gameplay.
The prologue at the start is really cool and has some very funny dialogue. I also like the unique art style. The colorful clock animation in particular is very cool. The controls also feel nice to handle, jumping and running feels really smooth.
Gameplay wise, it reminds me a little too much of those rage games like I Wanna Be The Guy. Near the edge of the level, there are platforms that I phase through that look exactly like solid platforms and I have no way of differentiating between the two. There was also that jumpscare monster that was REALLY loud, I would tone down the volume of that. Checkpoints would have really helped, it was getting repetitive restarting all the way at the beginning just because I fell through a fake platform or touched a crystal. I would also make the crystals one color that's very easy to see, like bright red, because it can be hard telling where they are at times.
Good job on the game overall. I couldn't beat it, but I enjoyed playing it regardless.
Wow thanks for the helpful feedback and for playing. I have started improving the game keeping all the feedback in mind. Also thanks for the tips. I wanted the game to be really hard but I'll add difficulty levels to let player understand the game.
game has been updated and have received bug fixes.
Funny narrative, love the crazy-time-nightmare colors in the background, and clocks animations. The control of the player is precise but I find the gameplay a little bit hard to my skills (died a ton of times hahaha). Really useful the quick travel between portals!!
thank you so much, im looking forward to add difficulty levels in full version.
I liked the look you were going for, with the bright outlines and all, I feel like you still needed a bit more time (pun intended) to polish it a bit, maybe decide better what gets an outline (it makes it difficult to distinguish background from interactible platforms for example). Other than that, congrats, it's pretty good.
thanks for the feed back, yes the outline was the last minute decision will work on it. Will improve the things you mentioned.
Hey, played your game on stream. Check out my thoughts here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1086568950?t=01h57m10s
thank you so much for playing the game on stream and Damn there are so many glitchs. Didn't had much time for polishing i am working on run animation glitch rn, will be working on looks and will add difficulty levels. Again thank you so much.

Very nice art work, music and sfx!
The clock animation is ****ing awesome!
The narrative caught me. I laughed so hard with the "-you speek japanese?" "-i used to watch anime". xDDD
The gameplay its nice, but i think the level design is too complex for me (or for the first level (idk if it was plan to be the first level)). Well, I really liked it, and i'll play and finish the game later!
Thanks for playing the game. Good to know you enjoyed the story. There are no levels in this game but i'm thinking of improving and expanding the map (will add more paths to complete the game). again Thanks it means a lot.

Pretty cool pixel art and the music fits pretty well.
The narrative is funny and helps setting the adventure's tone.
Good job!
Thank you soo much for the review !! :))
I did't know kano from mortal kombat watch anime haha, (the main player reminds me him a lot), love the graphs and aesthetics of the game, 5/5 visual
lol Theodore(the cyborg butler) does look like kano, i just realised😂. Thank you soo much for playing.
super cool! love the aesthetics you went with
thaank you!! :)
Nice work! Way to incorporate both storytelling and platforming gameplay!
thank you so much for playing the game :)
The visuals are very unique! I do wish it was a little easier or faster to restart a level.
PS: If I click through the initial dialogue very fast the game doesn't load
Thanks for giving the game a try. I also think the dialogue bug is bit serious I'll surely look into it.

Good to know, and congratulations!
Cool game. I liked the time looping mechanic and the art was amazing! Though maybe you should make the first area a little bit easier.
Thank you so much for playing the game. This is a demo so I'll be working on multiple difficulty levels.
