Hi, I am sorry that you could not find how to proceed @F. Helgesen and @SneepyPixels. I am aware of the lack of tutorial (or at least some starting indications). Actually I was in a rush for the submission and did not have time to do this.

But please go to the game page and go to the NOTES section, where I wrote this "A HELP panel needs to be incorporated in pause menu to help people who does not know what to do, such like this ....".

Unfortunately I also got stuck in the very beginning, unsure how to proceed. Good luck with the post-jam polish!

Thanks for the feedback. I've replied with a new POST because I believe you are not the only who does not know what to do.

Basically you need to explode the crates and rewind time to be able to jump on the next platform via the crates' pieces.

Hi, gave your game another try and I wanted to leave a some feedback if you were looking for it! :)
The large beginning area gave a great first impression of a large area to explore, but   I ended up a little lost and I wasn't sure what the objective was. Running and the camera work feels somewhat smooth, but aiming with the gun  out   is a little slow since you keyed it to the keyboard instead of the mouse while firing.  I couldn't figure out how to jump onto the platform from the box nor the cart , but the time reversal effect and gun laser were entertaining to use on the crate.

Keep up the good 3D artwork and best of luck to more future levels/puzzles :)

Thanks for the feedback. I was indeed looking for it :) :)

The slow down when aiming and firing was intended to have a better precision because I had the feeling that otherwise the mouse was moving too fast. But I can tune the speed (or even let the player adjust himself that).

Thank you for the encouragement. I will update the game as soon as the voting system will be finished.

Ahh the platforming went much smoother after knowing that! I think its because after the player  time-reverses to completion the crate doesn't react to the gun again so  without a game reset it wasn't obvious I could use the pieces as platforms.
