Oh, thanks for a comment about the window, saved me from confusion.
I didn't expect to see the games with reverse mechanics on this jam at all, what a surprise. This is so original and solid concept!
There are some suggestion I wish can be implemented in the future. For example, I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but it seems the reverse doesn't actually show the exact timing of the original path. It doesn't count the time where I'm standing, right? For making a strategy with this, I think you should make the reverse to be the exact copy of the original.
But apart from that, I liked the game, I think its potential in a puzzle genre can be really high. Keep up with it!
P.s. I also think you might consider changing the thumbnail. Let it show the actual gameplay rather than the pure text/name. It's important if you want more people to play the game :)

How does your game fit the theme?
When the player reaches the goal, they lose control of their character and their character follows the path they took through the level in reverse. (Meaning you have to dodge traps preemptively)

Thanks for the feedback! My issue with changing the thumbnail to a screenshot of the gameplay is that the game itself doesn't look great especially when it's static, so I thought simple text would attract more. But thanks for the feedback I'll definitely have an experiment with it. And about counting time when you're idle: You're right, it doesn't count time where you're stood still. That's completely my fault for not making it clear in the tutorial. Thanks for playing!
Ok, I get it, it’s okay though, the reverse thing is still cool
About the thumbnail: maybe it’s just my personal opinion, but the only text-based thumbs that I would click on are click baits (”no game,” etc.). I would rather see your actual game + the name rather than merely the name. But I guess it depends, maybe it’s the other way around for others
Hey there! I should've made it more clear, the path doesn't draw when you're standing still, that's my bad! However you had the right strategy, just throw a couple of static jumps or quick left and right movements when you want the character to wait!
So to clarify, the path is drawn whenever you A) jump or B) change directions
Thanks for playing and thank you so much for the feedback!
