Though the character controller is mercilessly sensitive, the concept is great. It's a shame the music doesn't loop; things got awfully quite after the third level. I nevertheless rather enjoyed this little puzzler, and would be interested in what sort of challenges could emerge from this simple mechanic.

Well done, and good luck! :D

Cool concept! The controls seemed a little sensitive, especially when it came to balancing on the skinny piece in the third (I think) level. But I loved the music, I’ve used Pico-8 Tunes myself a number of times!

I like the idea, it's a bit Braid like, lot of potential. Graphics are simple but that's great. Unfortunately, the "ice-like" controls are very frustrating.

That a super cool concept overall, I would like to see what kind of levels can emerge from that idea.

I like the concept, the graphisms are simple but efficient. I would like to play more levels :(

Thank you for playing! Turns out I had uploaded a bad build which starts at the last level. I fixed this so you can try 2 more levels if you want :)

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely went for the simplest graphics and didn't spend any time at all tuning the movement. 3h are very short!

The issue with "only one level" has been fixed now. I had uploaded a wrong build that started at the last level instead of the first :)

That's exactly what I imagine a right Trijam game to be: Original concept fulfilling the theme, simple graphics, fancy music etc. Having a second or third level would be nice, but I consider it optional and do not lower the rating because of it. 

I just had a problem trying to jump with up arrow key, maybe moving the time with Q/A or Shift/Ctrl or whatever and jumping with up arrow... maybe. But most people won't have a problem with that I think. 

Nice work with the planning and time management and everything.

Thank you :)

I just fixed the issue with the levels - I had uploaded a wrong build that started at the last one.

I also had the same problems as you while testing the game! I'm very used to jump with the "up" key so it took some adjustment. I think in a proper version of this game, there should be a longer tutorial section so that the player can get used to it.

Nice concept. Definitely worth expanding on after the jam as there is some real potential to this game.

I really like the idea !

A bit short may be, but  it works very well :)
