The controls weren't exactly intuitive at first, and I didn't really see that there was a button to read more in the 'education' section .
However, when I finally understood the rules, I saw that the idea is quite interesting! I suppose your name, meaning "triangle", suggests that it'd be clever. Because a triangle is "sharp". I am deadass the unfunniest person on the internet.
The music and art are very nice, and the whole game's got a pleasant wintery vibe :) nice work
The game didn't really make the buttons clear, but otherwise this was a fun and challenging puzzle game! It'd be nice to be able to click on a paddle to select it as well :)

I originally wanted to turn on the paddle by clicking on the paddle itself, but since I'm an artist, I didn't really understand how to do it
Thanks for the feedback!
FreezingTime is a very visually appealing game with amazing music and sound effects. The controls are hard to get used to and I agree with what AIA said about having one button to stop time. But when you get the hang of the movement it's pretty fun! (You do have to pause a lot sometimes) You could add numbers to the paddles to make it easier to tell which one you are controlling but some things get lost in game jams. Great game!
Yes, I didn't think about the numbers above the paddles, thanks for the feedback!
The sounds and art are really nice in this game. This is a great reimagination of a classic game!
I'm glad you added the stoppage of time because... you're right, it's very difficult otherwise! lol
I found myself tapping spacebar to try and stop time. I think that might be more intuitive of a button and an easier target to hit than T & G.
You also might consider simplifying the stoppage of time by having a single button instead of two. If time is stopped and it's pressed then you resume time else you stop time.
Overall, great work for a short game jam :)
Thanks
Looks really nice, and music is good too, but there is no tutorial. i have no idea how to play so i cant really get anything out of the game when i just instantly die, also dont see much theme integration, but the overall vibe is very nice and christmasy
Please read the comments below, I explained how to play there, I also wrote about the topic, but I repeat SUSPENSION in my language is "Приостановка", and "Приостановка" is a stop of time or something
I posted a new version where I added:
1. Fixed the error with the second level.
2. Added the authors menu
Yeah now it's fixed, Good job!! :D
Well, it looks very nice, the music is super good, but I don't know how to play the game. :)
I pressed W and S but nothing was happening, I tried more things and I stayed for like 5 minutes or more to figure out what's wrong.
Maybe I just didn't understand how it was supposed to be played, I really don't know, please let me know if I did something wrong. Maybe try to make a tutorial or something.
One thing that it was kinda annoying is everytime when I pressed the Esc button it just closed my game.
That was really sad to see, I was really excited about the game from the looks and the music.
Look, you have to count the number of paddles, for example, there are 5 paddles on the first level, the leftmost paddle will be number 1, and the rightmost paddle on the first level will be number 5, and so its number is the number of boards on the level, if you just press the W and S keys, then nothing happens. It is necessary to clamp the Alpha keys (if you do not know the Alpha keys - these are the numbers in the top row). And counting from left to right, you determine the number of the paddle, hold down the alpha key with the same number, and press W and S. I hope I have explained it clearly.Thanks for the feedback!
🤔🤔 Well I going to test this.
Well I'm a dumbass. 😁😁
Now I see how it should be played.
Really cool idea, really hard. I will probably play around with this game for a bit. :D
Well, I still think you should make a tutorial, but this is fine.
I don't where the theme is 🤔, well that's probably because I'm dumb and I don't know what a suspension is. :D
Great job and keep up the good work!!
Suspension in my language is "Приостановка", and "Приостановка" is a stop of time, and therefore it is possible to stop time
Oh, ok then :D
Dumbuss is like Dambas, and Dambas is a city
Don't, you're not dumbass
Should I clean up Ecsape before the jam runs out?
I don't know, for me it's just muscle memory to press Esc for the pause menu. But you don't really need to.
But I have this bug, everytime I want to play the second level it shows me the Game Over menu. When I'm pressing Restart it just keeps showing. I tried to restart the game and it's the same.
I'll fix it now
Thanks
Good game👍
