I loved that mechanic! That is one of my favorites from the jam so far, I hope you keep developing it! I only think the rocket level was a bit too long for the first time introducing it, but the rest of the levels have a really solid design.

Thank you! I hope we'll be able to polish this game up more and fix some of the designs for further games we'll make. We had a lot of fun designing and thinking about the game for this jam.

This was super super solid! I loved the mechanic and how it was introduced, and all the subtle details like the dynamic music, and all of the squishy animations! Really great work! The puzzles were fun and I killed the final boss with a rocket barrage of 4 missiles I sent to the present all at the same time. I think one thing that could have helped is maybe having a few different tiles, maybe to subtlety indicate where the holes in the past and present are. That way you don't accidently keep falling in them when switching.

Glad you enjoyed it! Great suggestion, if we had more time to work on the game I would go back and add some sort of indicator to show different tiles between timelines.

Dope game, enjoyed the music and how it switches between timelines. Pretty cool.

Really original game mechanic! I also really enjoyed the music changing between past/future. A couple levels were pretty hard and a bit frustrating, but other than that great game!

The game feels pretty good most of the time. That is unless you fall of the edge after completing the level.

I really like the art, it feels pretty polished for the small amount of time. The music when you're switching between the past and present is really cool too. This is one of the more enjoyable puzzle games I've played in this game jam! I think you could make some neat level designs if you wanted to develop this game more.

Interesting design and feels very polished! The art and level design work together very nicely to create a unique experience, and it reminds me a lot of cool time mechanics from other games

Thank you! We definitely had inspiration from some amazing FPS games from the past.
