Stopping the timer when the player is on the starting platform is a very good decision!
I couldn't beat the game, and I think it might randomize things so that you're guaranteed to die. That's not very good.

Actually the timer stops whenever you dont move. So you can think of a decision where to go. And you can steal time from objects / give them. It shouldnt randomize stuff. Or at least i didnt add that possibility. Thanks for trying the game out. It means a lot and your feedback is valuable. It was a rushed project!
