Ranked from 24 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
There are two time dimensions. When you travel forward in one, the other one goes backwards. Time moves when you move left/right.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, but I used an existing recording of some rain + thunder though.

Would have been nice to know that pressing that pressing down changes direction :P

Other than that I really enjoyed the game, the rewind mechanic is very clever and you made some fun puzzles with it :)

Loved this game! A simple-to-understand mechanic that  can create lots of interesting puzzles. The art and sound was great too, simple and clean.  A fun, relaxing game overall.

Loved the puzzle aspect and the simplistic art / color palette. Good job!

Could you also play and rate my game?

it got quite hard later on, but over all a very smart puzzle game which got a lot use of a single mechanic!

Very creative take on the theme. It didn't take me long to understand the mechanics, and the confusion it creates is of the good kind. One thing though, I didn't really get why I couldn't jump on the white squares while I'm pushing them in the white time dimension. Is it intentional? I may have missed some details about the mechanic.

Overall this was one of the most relaxing and creative puzzle games I've played in this jam :)

I really liked the mechanic in this game! It definitely fits the theme, and the puzzles were really cool (up until that "really hard level" that I admittedly had to skip) This is also really well-made and pretty polished for only a week-long game jam. Awesome job!

Really nice and interesting game! Good and difficult puzzles with a cool rewind mechanic. The audio design was really good too! Good job.

Really great game. I like how you made the 3*c + Enter to skip the level. I also like the simple graphic and how well you included the theme into the game. I found one problem that was annoying, when the boxes were moving and a player was on top of them and the box started to move horizontally, the player wasn't moving with them, but it wasn't a big problem but more sort of something that you can thing of changing it. Over all, a really good game with really simple and enjoyable graphic.  

If you have some time then you can try and play my game :)

Great game. Had fun playing it. On first level i thought that i could not solve the puzzle because by the time i figured out controls door was long down, and i didn't get that could rewind it. Also there is no fullscreen in web version.

I liked it!

Really cool game! At first took me a while to understand how it worked, but once I did I enjoyed it a lot! Would appreciate if you checked out mine :)

Wow, this game is really cool. I liked how moving in one time dimension affects the other in reverse, as it leads to some really cleaver ways to beat levels. The only gripe I have with the game is that it feels a bit too quite. It would be nice if there was some more audio variety in the various levels. Other than that, great work!

Well done! Balancing challenge, innovation and fun and doing it right! Sometimes completing a level seemed more about luck than actually knowing what to do, but anyway, cool and simple game!

I think this was a great interpretation of the theme! This game was atmospheric with the black and white visuals and rain sounds that contributed to a solid game. The puzzles were well designed and weren't too challenging.

There were a couple times where I thought it was a bit awkward to have to walk in place to have time pass, so maybe having a separate button to pass time would be good. I also think this game suits itself perfectly for a tutorial in the first couple of levels on how it works.

A very fun puzzle game, thanks for sharing!

I think using more shades of grey instead of this pseudo monocrome would have made things clearer and would have looked better in the end. But other than that it is a nice small puzzle game.

Wow really simple but gameplay ! Fantastic job..
Really enjoyed playing ! Rating DONE !

This is a really interesting idea, and you could definitely create more puzzles with this mechanic. However, it is confusing to understand how everything works without reading the description of the game, and the last level was much harder than the other levels. Despite this, I still enjoyed playing through your game.
