Love the story and gameplay was challenging and fun. That music though. That takes me back.

The Drunk Time Traveler's FiancéeThank you so much for the kind words! Quick question, were you able to make it to the end of the demo? I'm worried that people are just playing a little bit of the first level and then calling it quits because they aren't sure where to go. I included in-game clues to guide people towards the machine parts but I am not sure if they are obvious enough.
I have not passed it yet. I have gotten first the 3 parts, and assume the 4th is on the docks, but I got killed by second shark. I'd recommend adding some health pick ups, or make enemies occasionally drop health pick up. I gave up on trying to get that extra life too, I always die trying jump on the pearls to reach it. I will pass it though. Nice challenge.
Thank you for your response. Yeah it always takes me a while to get that extra life. The trick is to make your first bounce on the pearl as high as possible :) I think I will lower the extra life down a tile after the competition, though. Congrats on finding those first 3 parts and yes, you are right, the 4th part is past the docks (in the lab). That's a great suggestion about enemy health drops/pickups, I will definitely be adding those! Lastly, if you do get stuck when playing through again, check these maps out:

Nice use of the timeless theme. Fun character, story, and intro... and you have working animal platforms, nice.

Walter Nate Timeline AgentHey guys, if you are having trouble finding the Time Machine Parts in Level 1 and Level 2 (the only levels in the demo), consult these maps:

This was really entertaining. I am amazed you got things to work that I wasn't able to like the health and I love how you made the continue screen. good job!

Chaos Between Realms vr.0.0Thank you so much man! I was actually just getting on to comment on the last few demos I played and yours was of them as well (I'll leave my detailed comments on your submission page, but in short, it was freaking amazing).
Yeah I actually ended up using a sprite hud even though it might look like a tile hud. The labels are tiles but everything else is a sprite.
And unfortunately I had to change the continue screen right before I submitted the game so that it just reset the game regardless of your choice. It was supposed to send you back to the last checkpoint when you hop into the "yes" portal but I couldn't figure out a way to "untrigger" the screens that contained the time machine parts so I just changed both portals so they reset the game :( I plan on fixing that this week.
I love the music, reggae/dub with great bass and very unique. I also liked the visual style, I like games set around beaches and I like that you throw your hat as a weapon. Cool HUD also.
