I enjoyed the rewind ability; it has a lot of potential but unfortunately the levels felt way too expansive and broad for the player's small size and slow speed. If you make the levels smaller and polish the movement and art then you'll have a very fun puzzle platformer.
Good job and best of luck!
Interesting game. The levels were challenging, yet not annoying. It was fun to play. But the art could've been made a bit more interesting. The movement speed is slow. I had to hold down shift the whole time I played. Other than that this is a neat project and has a lot of potential once its polished well.
Great Job!
wow cool palette
Art was simple, but ok for a Jam. The rewind mechanic was spot on. Good job.
Could you please play and rate my game as well?

Interesting concep, nice graphics and funny characters.
A couple of issues that made my gamplay not as enjoyable:
The collission for your rewinded character could be a bit bigger since I found myself falling off my past self several times eventough I solved the puzzle correctly. The movement speed felt very slow and I constantly kept shift.
Othyer than that is a neat project. Congrats

Hi, thanks for your comments. The movement speed I realise is too slow, - in the future I will try and make the levels more spread out and the general player movement faster, and you're right about the collider I see now, - certainly on the head of the third player, - it is not wide enough. Sorry for that and thanks for playing!
Time is relative as Einstein said? You created a game which is matching the theme! It was really satisfying to reverse the time. You really got that good working. But I would have wished more of those reverse time puzzles then the jump and run action. The concept has good potential and I wish you a lot of luck creating more time rewinding puzzles!
Thanks for playing! I will be adding more of the rewind puzzles in the future.. am trying to think how to make single puzzles with more than two characters.. so that they syncing becomes more complex. Thanks for your feedback!
Interesting concept! Really fun game...had me pulling my hair out for not getting the timing right on numerous occasions haha
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool concept! I had to read the comments to get past the first part, though. :D
Yeah understand, realise now I made the tutorial too hard.. will change it in the future. Thanks for playing!
Minimalist art, i liked the rewind mechanic, the way you force the player to think what they have to do before rewind was well thought, in general it's a fun game, a nice concept with a cool looking art style.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey dutchlish! Interesting game (mechanics, theme and feel!) :) I found the main character cute but maybe I have morning brain I had a hard time figuring that first part out lol :) Once I got that though, the rest of the mechanics and how things were going to work became a bit more clear :)
Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
Fun experience. Game looks visually nice. But the movement speed is way too slow.
Thanks for your feedback and thanks for playing!
Really nice concept! I struggled a bit with the tutorial, but overall fun game, I enjoyed it! Rating done ;)
Thanks for playing! A few have struggled with the tutorial, - I've redesigned it slightly and will add this after the jam. Thanks for your feedback!
There is potential in the game concept, really fun. I need a lot of time to figured out the tutorial level. It was fun to play. The restart system was good especially when hit spike but not the "R" button. I accidently press R and restart from the beginning. Overall this game was good, I liked the sound effect when grab the bomb :D
Thanks for your feedback and thanks for playing! I'm looking at making the tutorial more straightforward after the jam. Cheers
That was a fun game, I like the inclusion of different characters and the use of the time rewind mechanic. The art-style is very minimalist and unique which just added to the overall game.
Thanks for playing and your feedback! I'll check out your game later today. Cheers!
It was difficult to figured out I could bring that block back to gather a bomb that first I thought that was a BG sprite haha. But in general, good idea on the multiple characters.
Mine is a puzzle game too, and you also have bombs. (Yeah, I know, after a week seeing bombs maybe we are a little sick of it, but if you have some time to play it, I would appreciate a review)
Thanks for your feedback! In a future version I might do something different with the first block, - maybe leaving it behind the player at the beginning, thanks for playing! Will check out your game later on today. Cheers!
Neat! Quite difficult but it was a fun challenge :)
Thanks! It is a bit tough I agree, as and when I go back to development later I'd like to make the world longer with a far more gradual difficulty curve. Thanks for playing!
Nice game, nice minimalist art style, the rolling clock was very difficult and too time consuming though.
Thanks. I agree the rolling clock can get a bit time consuming.. - I was planning to change that bit somehow, maybe with more clocks over gaps jumping from clock to clock, and that if you roll left on the clock time goes backwards, and right forwards, with another new character involved... but didn't have time to flesh out this mechanic so gets a little dull.. will think about it for future development. Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
Love the color palette used. The mechanics are really interesting and definitely not trivial. Love to "cool" sound too haha. Good job!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
Checked out and rated your game too.. good work!
Hehe thanks and thanks for playing!
Love it! Want more levels! Awesome work! Love the clock ball part too, even it's not the main mechanic, was really fun.
Thanks loads for playing! Glad you like the game :) Cheers!
