It took me a moment to understand the mechanics, but once I figured out how time hub and overworld worked, gameplay became really satisfying. unique concept, beautiful visuals, and great music create a really enjoyable experience. Great job!

How does your game fit the theme?
Slap in the middle is a clock counting down.

A little confusing to me, but cool concept! Audio was really really goood.
At the beggining I didn’t really understand what was going on, but one you realise how to play it, the games turns into a nice puzzle game about finding correlations between different stuff. This one was one of my favourites. Rated 5/5 in most categories. Incredible job for such a short period of time!
btw, this is where I managed to reach! image.png
Great humor, music, and feel to the game. It feels like I game I would really like, but I struggled with what I was doing and I couldn't get friends above 0!
Fun game but got a bit boring near the end. I started having nothing to do and just waiting for the countdown to go down. Still, really good game for a jam project, good job!
The countdown and music create a great sense of urgency, even though I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing. I just switched between the hub and the overworld, connecting whatever I could. I ended up activated 11 nodes by the end. Overall, it was a very enjoyable game. Good work!
took me a moment to figure out that you are supposed to switch between the time hub and the overworld, but then it clicked! After that, experimenting with the different connections and seeing the little bubble flow along the lines was very satisfying, especially once the whole screen started filling up with them :D
very impressiv and ambitious for a gamejam-game!
Really creative concept! The game feels great to play with decent polish! Great work!
I like the concept and the music is absolutely amazing! I think I got a little lost after connecting the first level of all five colors, and then a couple of second level items. I wasn't quite sure what to do after that point, and tried connecting various things but just couldn't quite figure it out. For example, what could I connect the foreign traders to? Or heck, even how to unlock the Fun bubble! I'm going to come back and poke it again when I have some more time, however, it seems to have a nice amount of things to do if I can just figure it out!
Oh definitely. I read somewhere that to make a good jam game you take your original scope, cut it in half, then cut it in half again and that's likely where you end up in the time you have XD It definitely felt that way. But that's what it's all about! Scope creep hits us all. Still, good to know I didn't actually miss anything, and looking forward to coming back if an update comes out!
Had a bit of trouble clicking/dragging nodes together; connecting Time Vortex to the timer and having everything speed up was a very fun way to lose my first run haha
Pretty cool theme it gives me the vibe of Fear and Hunger Termina. Controls and effects feels pretty fluid. I like feeling when playing the game. Good writing, fun loop and great use of music and sfx. Nice work!
really cool and unique game. It has great music and looks great with all those connections setup. Great job!
I love the music!!!! It really fits the theme.
It’s a shame the game doesn’t have a clearer objective. I have to admit that I mostly just connected the dots without really thinking too much about what I was doing
The music is very engaging ! I did not really understand if I was doing the right thing or not, but it feels like a really fun game !
