I can see where you were going with this. This is a good prototype that obviously will have to be worked on after the jam. Not unlike my own or others.
Good first entry!
Could you also play and rate my game too?

In what way does your game fit the theme?
you have a Time Leap Machine that rewinds time to a previous time.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and assets are mine except for the nixie tubes textures which were created by my sister

The concept of what you are trying to do is cool. i hope next time you could add a quest bar so that the player would know what he should do. and also you should add a screen edge that can stop the player from moving towards the black nothingness, and also i wish that you wont stop making games and just keep on doing what you love. i would love to play your future games

CLockWorkyea, adding a world border was something that I was thinking about, but there were other more important things that I wanted to do instead, then I just forgot about it lol. As for a quest bar, that kind of defeats the point of the game in that you have to figure out what you need to do on your own, though I guess the earlier event is a bit difficult to figure out. As for other games, I made a mod for minecraft about a year ago I think now, and I started work on a VR game just a few months ago. So i'm fairly new to game developing, but I have been coding as a hobby for a few years now.
Unfortunately, you are told nothing in the game. Just dropped in without an objective or direction to follow. You are given a clock that find by chance with controls you must figure out.
A few tips for future designs:
1. Always have a clear objective OR direction in some way, shape or form.
2. A tutorial for controls is always a good thing, even if it's just a screen with a description.
3. The environment should give you some clue as to what is going on in the game. It took me 10 minutes to figure out I could even get out of the house because doors could open/close and that there was even a front door.
Definitely a good first attempt and I hope you don't get discouraged by any negative feedback! Use that feedback to help design your next game and make it that much better! You'll soon learn for yourself what the game should and shouldn't have to properly engage the player.

Rick's Flixyea, I had a really hard time coming up with any semblance of a "story" which delayed things quite a bit. I did want to add dialogue, but I didn't really have time to figure out what the dialogue would be and then also to code it in. As for controls, I pretty much just forgot about that until it was too late, so I put then in the description. as for interactable objects, would it be a good idea to have a border around objects that can be interacted with if you are close enough? Also did you read the description on the actual game page and if so, do you have any suggestions to improve the description?
also thanks for the feed back, I really appreciate it.
The graphic itself is simple. The idea is cool, but it takes a long time to figure out what to do. A background music would be cool too and a player sprite too :)
Would be cool if you would also play my game^^

It looks interesting, but hard to figure out what to actually do.

Insert The CassetteInteresting idea. I like typing in the actual time for the time machine, I think its a cool touch. Feel free to rate my game as well :)
