I really liked the aesthetic you created, and I think the mix the art style and setting work super well together. I particularly liked the character models. I think the game might be a bit difficult, as I couldn't make it past the first level, but that might just be because I suck

I can see you put a lot of effort into this game . love the intro and the overall look and feel of the game is well presented. the sound effects and music and well done. The only comment is the game is unforgiving but that might be just down to lack of practice ;-) Well done
Gotta say, that opening scene was well done. I did have problems with the first level, which is it didn't explain the fog below rises up and kills you. I was pretty confused to why I was dying and simply blamed the poor scorpion(_he didn't deserve the hate_). Also there's a bug where if you jump to the side of a block, your player sticks to it(I'm not sure if this is a feature, but the movement felt weird). Also, I have a problem that the enemies can kill you when the time stops. It was pretty annoying because sometimes when the there's only 3 blocks of space and the scorpion(maybe the hate is deserved) stands on the middle, you wont be able to pass through cause of how thicc that boii is.
Other than these reasons, I found the game to be very fun. The art work and the audio was really good.
A suggestion, just for the memes, I would sell a Sakura skin for 0 cause of how worthless she is.
The submission was very enjoyable, I had a bit difficult with the jumping time and seemed a bit unresponsive sometimes, but that could also be that I sucks in that type of genre.
I liked the initial kinematics and story that is not common in a game jam game, and you had done a lot of levels and buyable characters, so there is a great work behind.
Very good work!
Just from the character designs(Naruto and the Jerusalem Crusader), I really want to try this game. Hope you can release a mac build.
Try to play now, it's a MAC version.

Quite a challenging game, the jumping was so unforgiving :D I liked the whole look of the game and the music was picked perfectly. Great work!
It felt really cool stopping time, especially with the color change. The music had me nodding along and the visuals have a unique charm to them. I definitely fell a lot, so that's some challenging gameplay there haha. Good job!
I liked it! Nice visuals, great models, cool unlockables (I genuinely chuckled when I saw Naruto) and great choice in finding the right sounds and music. Finding what suits your project needs is not always a given when you scour on freesound.org. Kudos to the team
It was pretty cool, I like the music really much! You're really good!
I really enjoyed playing, even though I fell to my death more times than I counted. Animations and models look great. UI is clean, and music is very ambient, love it! I really enjoy the prospect of unlocking a new player model with in-game currency. Really nice touches.
