Kudos for finishing your first game jam! I like the high skill ceiling. I do feel the platforming and the visual novel-esque elements could have gelled better, and the level design seemed pretty random. The mechanic of having some abilities cost time was an interesting idea. Good luck with the jam and any future game development endeavors!

The level feels random as it's a single level that has 3 endings based on the paths you take.
You can rush to the gate for zero regret ending.
Or go to the 1 of 2 NPCs closest to spawn to gain a regret and a buff that u want, options are more time or grapple costing less.
Or u can take one of 3 routes to complete the all regret ending where u need to gain regret from every npc and complete the run in time.
But i also know where your critisism is coming from.And we will learn from this and improve in future.
Thanks for your review.
