It was a little short but this can make a good narrative driven game

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I acknowledge the point about the game being short.
Unfortunately, time constraints limited the amount of content I could add.
I appreciate your understanding and hope you still found the current version enjoyable.

Really short, but it's a neat concept! I enjoyed it! I feel like there is a lot of potential for puzzles with this mechanic. Nice work, keep it up!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm planning more content, exploring puzzles with these mechanics in future releases.

Game looks so cool. It is very fun to play. You might want to add some more content.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'll be adding the missed content in future builds :)

Concept is pretty great and I like the idea but the game itself is too short so you don't really get to play around with the timescale tool that much.

Movement is a bit weird, Getting near objects would start turning you; and the character would start drifting towards one side.

Still worth a try!

I'm glad you liked the concept! I totally get your point about the game being too short; unfortunately, I had to make some compromises due to time constraints.

As for the wonky movement near objects, it seems there's an issue with the camera as it gets too close to colliders. My bad for not catching that during playtesting. 

Rest assured, I'll be refining the overall movement for a smoother experience in the next release.

Thanks a bunch for giving it a try!

Great concept, a tool use puzzler with some time reversal mechanics. The game is super pretty and I really enjoyed the sound effects. The time reversal stuff definitely has potential, and the stuff that is there is really nice.

Developer

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! :D
I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the game and concept,
and found the time reversal mechanics intriguing

Nice short experience. I enjoyed the interaction with objects and elements in the scenario. The UI is clear and easy to use.

I just wish it wasn't so short hehe. Congratulations.

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback!
I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the interaction with the objects and found the UI clear and user-friendly. 

I'm currently working on expanding and enhancing these basics to offer a more immersive and engaging experience.
If you have any specific suggestions or features you'd like to see in the expanded version, feel free to share them. Your input is valuable as I continue to develop and improve.

Thanks again for your encouraging words!

A bit short but the conecpt is really interesting. I enjoyed gameplay and the Audio was well implemented.

Tho the movement is kinda janky (when running against walls you somehow turn withem and sometimes the camera clips trough the walls) and i managed to softlock myself in the crafting station by pressing escape in there.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! I'm glad you found the concept interesting and enjoyed the gameplay and audio.

Regarding the movement, unfortunately, due to time constraints, I wasn't able to polish many small details as much as I would have liked. As for the crafting station, I believe the issue may be related to the pause menu mouse lock. I will definitely look into that.

Thanks again for playing and providing such constructive feedback!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for bringing attention to the softlock issue.
I have applied the necessary fix and pushed Hotfix 1 for the resolution.

Damn it's too short, I liked the idea! Definitely my type of game

Developer

I'm glad you liked the idea!
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I had to trim down a lot of content.
Thank you so much for playing and appreciating the concept!
