The famous movie reference mentioned in the comments... Is it Emperor's new groove? Kronk and Yzma pull the lever gag? xD
The narrative part: absolutely hilarious. I LOVE intros in gamejam games. And the moles' designs had me laughing.
The clock mechanic and time reversing and fowarding was so interesting too. Even thought I struggled a bit with the first level with spikes, the levels are more than doable in 85 seconds and well balanced.
Don't know if it was intentional but, in the last puzzle, the box is just half visible with the sandclock indicator.
Surely 5 of 5 stars in every category. Really had a good time.
