In what way does your game fit the theme?
A mysterious and mute protagonist journeys across different dimensions existing in past, present and future, observing the complexities of what once was. With the aid of peculiar time-reversing abilities, traverse three temporally-trapped zones while platforming through space and preventing time from collapsing on itself.
While jumping, time rewinds around you. Raindrops float upwards and moving platforms return to their start. Keep the timeline stable by ensuring time never moves too far forward or backwards.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. We built it off of Monogame, Visual Studio, and the Ogmo tile editor. All assets were made from scratch, including all art and music, with the exception of sound effects which were adapted from royalty-free sounds found on Zapsplat. FMOD and Monogame integration was based on https://github.com/Martenfur/ChaiFoxes.FMODAudio

This is awesome! The first couple of levels had a Celeste vibe, the music and the sprites were all great and dream-like. Amazing game overall, it deserves all of the praise that’s being given. Hope you end up developing it further after the review process is off. This could easily be a great hit
Thanks! Yea we definitely were inspired by Celeste. I'm glad you enjoyed it! We think we are going to continue developing it in the future for sure.
definitely one of the best, and probably my favorite so far. the time mechanic is cool and well implemented in the level design. the art is gorgeous, the best pixel art i've seen yet. and the music fit it so well. good job! it feel like a proper payed game.
I died one time and the game decide to freeze and i had to start from the start so maybe try to fix that.
so overall this game is fantastic!
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it! Where did you die? There is a known bug where the game is softlocked if you die at the final Cottonwood screen but you might have run into this bug elsewhere.
this game is amazing best game I’ve ever played on this website
Really cool game! It was fun!
Thanks! We are glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome game! Probably one of the most innovative games! And i loove multi purpose mechanics so putting rewinding on the jump was a great choise! I also love how the rain changes direction! Great job!
Thanks, we appreciate the feedback!
Genuinely really great game. Above everything I love the simplicity of the game design. It has infinite potential for depth yet can be understood in seconds
the game is very fun.
For some reason it's asking me to install .NET even after I install it so I can't play :(
That is on your end not ours. Make sure you are downloading the correct version of the .net framework.
Make sure you download ASP.NET Core Runtime 3.1.6. Here's the link https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/thank-you/runtime-aspnetcore-3.1.6-windows-hosting-bundle-installer
Great, it worked after downloading 3.1.6. I'm glad I gave it another shot. The game is super polished. The audio, graphics are top notch. The game play is interesting and engaging. I really like the twist when the time bar became much shorter limiting the amount of jumps allowed. Great work guys.
Wooooow, just woow
Yooo no way! I was watching your stream a couple days ago while you were working on your game! Your game is also pretty good, thanks for checking out ours!
Woooow the world its to small

Hey everyone thanks for testing and playing our game. For the second and third area we wanted to include them to do justice to the artist and composer for our game, so they are not finished yet. If you are rating, please try to rate the game based on the first area, Limbo, for gameplay.
Y'all can check out the soundtrack too on Soundcloud and Bandcamp- links are on the game page here.
Absolutely incredible. The art is gorgeous. The music is top notch. The gameplay is super tight. 10/10
