Wooow, the artstyle for this is just stunning! Gameplay is solid too - appreciative that you restart pretty much immediately where you died.
love it! everything in this game is amazing except for the sprites.
Nice artstyle and a fun story. It's a little buggy in places but you could definitely polish it up after the jam!
Loved the artwork in everything about this game! The colors are so nice and gives a lot of pleasure to see. And the twist...! Your storytelling is great
Nice. Wanted to keep playing but got stuck after opening the door just past the father. Seemed like "past" was all that worked in the area, but put me in no man's land and then back at the checkpoint.
Enjoyed it though. Thanks for the game!
Cool idea and art style! Fun concept, but I unfortunately got stuck at the first laser part. Wasn't quite sure what to do. Nonetheless with some polish and revisions I'm sure it could be amazing. Good work!
Great game! The art style is neat and unique, also a great catchy title btw :D Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
This is incredible work for just week! I loved the art style a lot!!
The idea is great! The Artstyle is nice, as well as the mechanic. The dialogues are a bit too long in relation to how much you actually moved forward. Otherwise cool, keep it up!
Nice! I really like the theme and art style of this game!! Controls are a bit unatural to me. Keep it up!
I enjoyed playing this. The character art and dialogue was really good, and I loved the twist at the end. I felt like some of the puzzles might have bugged for me, because I skipped the laser sections just by randomly switching between age. Overall really great though!
great game! the gameplay is variant the platforming was challenging but you know its do able. the characters are very stylish and well made but their in game counter parts i think needs a bit more work! best of wishes
Clever game! If you're looking for some feedback, one thing I feel can be improved is the player's scope of knowledge. At times I found myself flickering between the 3 different spaces of time, and couldn't flip to a specific one due to that time being obstructed by some object or wall. If you can can include an indication that it's obstructed I'm sure that would help a lot. Awesome concept, fun game, and I especially loved the character art!
Wow! That one is great. I like the graphics and dialogs. Puzzles are simple yet interesting. Great job!
Very cool game. Really great mechanic for the theme and the art was amazing for the tone you set. Had a blast playing. Great work! :)
There are some really clever ideas, and I really liked the character portraits. I will say however, that the conversations became too tedious for me to read/wait through. Otherwise nice!
