Use of the limitation
As a speed/puzzle platformer the player has a limited amount of time to get through each level. The player can spend level time to affect the level. Disabling spikes, increasing the timer on a death zone, etc.

Cookies eaten
This time I actually ate some. I made a small batch of chocolate chip cookies day 1 and have eaten maybe 4 total.

This was a pretty cool idea, but I had a hard time understanding why I was clicking the -1 button to increase the timer. Also, the last level that loaded told me I won before I even played it.

I didn't win.

Incredible! Super fun game! UI was a little weird at first, I was confused on how to play and died a couple of times in a row - but I LOVE the mechanics. Great job.

Superb use of the limitation. Actual resource management. Very clean graphics, too. Loved it.

I don’t know how to get past level one.

I was hoping things would be somewhat intuitive, even with just trial and error. But there being 2 types of timers and a negative button being on top of the tan colored timer adding time to it. That surely is a confusing UI setup. If you left-click the button, I have circled in green, once or twice. You then should have enough time to get to the flag before the "death zone" activates.

Perfect play on theme, a little soundtrack and it would be a perfect game. Feels like a complete game I could find on any platform. Impressive work.

Really cool concept. I barely made it in time. Check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

I appreciate the kind words. I checked out your live review. It seems you were playing Bubbly Tim's Time Bubble Trouble. Afterwards, you accidentally rated my game instead. Looked like a little confusion with the tabs you had opened as you were moving towards ending stream. Thought I should inform you, so we can get Bubbly Tim the rating he deserves. And I would enjoy seeing you play and review my game.

My bad. I hopefully rectified things on today's stream https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission. You know what tho, my rating stands.

Simple but excellent gameplay. Movement feels super good, game looks nice, and the feeling of ending a level with less that a second left is exciting.

Excellent game! One of the top in this jam for sure. Very clever concept. Took me quite a while until I beat that last level. Really enjoyed the gameplay. Well done =D

Very interesting time mechanic! Took me some time to understand how exactly it (and the first obstacle) worked but once I figured it out there where no problems. I feel like I had to come up with many solutions by just try and error tho but that might just be me

This is the perfect game for this jam, you use the limitation flawlessly, the game is beautiful, and I really enjoyed the mechanics. 100% rating from me. Excellent work!

This is a really great concept and fairly well executed! I found the timer split-up to be confusing, and even though I got through many levels I still didn't fully get it, as a result I generally just tried to split the time about equally and hoped for the best. Other than that it's a cool mechanic that you plan how long you need for each segment ahead of time! Definitely a great use of the limitation!
