Very good job! I am not clever enough to be a time criminal in real life.
Very clever use of your past self in the puzzles! Really enjoyed this one
Nice take on a puzzle game. Seems inspired by Hotline Miami. GG!
Amazing idea and awesome creative Level Designs.
getting Damnn!!! harder and harder to escape
Great job fella!!
Amazing puzzle game! I like the idea of the time paradox (so far, I haven't seen any other team using the same theme).
Good job on your submission!
Great game, really cool concept, gameplay and artstyle. Wish it felt more in line with the theme but thats alright. My compliments to the chef.
I can’t anything that hasn’t already been said.
Awesome game overall.
Awesome level design!
interesting level design, really great work in 48h
I was able to simply walk through the wall without solving the puzzles.
You must have missed this on our game page :)
if you're one of the people affected by this I'd recommend doing the puzzles as below- it's not going to stop you from playing the game as i intended :)
The game is very fun and it is from a genre that I like; about solving puzzles and thinking. Good graphics and the sound doesn't bother, so good. Good job!
Great concept, I really enjoyed the level design of each puzzle
Hey thanks so much for taking the time and writing so much and such detailed feedback! This is exactly the kind of stuff we do these jams for. I'm the level designer + systems programmer for this.
I have played braid but I didn't get as far in it as the world you referenced - I'm going to have to pick it up again. I'm glad that you spotted our twist of resetting the entire level but staying in the present - it's not something I've seen before and I actually got the idea while watching Christopher Nolan's Tenet (an okay film with an interesting concept). We were very down to the wire here because we all had committments to get to 6 hours before the jam ended so we had to finish up early - I had so many more ideas I wanted to implement, as well as a few additional mechanics. Hopefully will get to an extended edition after the jam!
On the timer - it's a lazy way of ensuring the player doesn't just stand in a corner for ages and then solve puzzles solo, ensuring that the past-self is always a threat. But the more I play it, the more I realise that you can bake this into the designs of the puzzles to ensure this happens anyway. So yeah I think I'm with you on that, it belongs on the cutting room floor.
Thanks again for playing and leaving such great feedback, stay in touch!
Great Game, clever concept, killer delivery. A some puzzles bit too hard for my small brain. But really good, and I love a challenge.
