The great concept and execution makes for a pretty fun game overall! The only problem is if one simply bypasses some route or puzzle piece, then the game glitches out and the only way to play it is to reload the page, and do all the steps again. Other than that bug though, the game is great! Lots of fun.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
My main character, Gramps, has the ability to REWIND time and transform into a younger version of himself to traverse through tough obstacles.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, almost every asset from this game is original except the music, which i credited in the start screen.
Comments
The game overall is a good experience but like as those who previously commented there are points where I continue walking once I reach the end and the camera just drops and I get stuck.
The air ducts used by the player in baby form aren't exactly "catching" so to speak so around the 2nd stage I didn't exactly notice the air duct that was supposed to lead me downwards.
I enjoyed it overall though and the choice of music is nice gets me into the flow of playing through.
:D
I had a great experience with this game. It's fun, with great visuals and the music fits it perfectly. Until at one point I passed a door and got stuck, it didn't take me to the next room and the player got stuck.
But I really liked it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this game and reminded me of old games based off of shows (like Zack & Cody's Tipton Trouble). I am a bit confused as to whether I reached the end though, because I went through a door and noticed the camera shift down, but it didn't fade into another room or credits. I restarted the game and the same thing happened. Despite this, I think it was well made!
Came for the funny title
Stayed for the itneresting mechanics and different theme usage, 5/5
FANTASTIC! I loved everything about this game the super jamming music the beautiful pixel art the wonderful and hilarious animations, the game play mechanics, the use of the theme. You nailed everything. Solid 5s all around. I did run into a bug where one of the caretakers went to jump onto a ledge but got stuck on it and I couldn't proceed I tried like jumping into it as an adult and changing back to gramps mid air but I still got caught. Other than that one bug though it was a perfect entry
Nice job! I really like the game design and how you had to lure some of the people over in order to walk past them and jump to a higher ledge (hopefully that made sense). The graphics and audio were also really nice!
One problem though is that eventually I got stuck and the camera/scene didn't change.
Other than that, really great submission!
haha this is so funny! I love it i made me laugh out loud :P really love the theme so switch between ages and the effects of this. really nice! I could not resist so go back to the grownup for faster movement but making the game more challenging because of it. Great idea for game-play. But i was not a fan of the control's it was all the much together i would have gone for 2 handed play instead of try to put everything there for your left hand, since playing with wasd is the norm these days.
Like the art style and graphic! some people seem to pick pixel art just because they like it, but here it fits the game perfectly :) so good choice i would say!
One of the best games of the game jam I have played so far :) Simple and yet elegant game design. The only negative thing I can think of is the keybinding of x and z. I have a German layout and the y is next to x instead of the z. (I am used to it and it is not a big problem but maybe j and k would have been better)
I really like this game! Graphics and music are great, and the main idea is simple but good.
It is a bit funny that the caretakers see nothing problematic in a baby turning into an old man in front of their very eyes, but do find it weird to see a young person despite the many people probably visiting their grand parents (or maybe it is because of covid19 that made it so you can't visit your grandparents?).
I don't really have any suggestions, other than maybe working on that explanation system. I have multiple times accidentally pressed another button while in it and couldn't read it all. Maybe just make it so that it stops you but that you can still see it if you return to the same place again?
I also had a weird bug at the start, after the pit with the caretaker, I accidentally jumped over the pipe, assuming that you could continue ahead. I fell down and then nothing I did had any effect. I think you just forgot to put a wall in there but it might be more than that.
So yeah, great game! Really polished!
Great idea and good execution to boot. The little touches like the caretakers’ eyes turning red in rage at the sight of young gramps make it even better.
When I got to the end of the first stage with the pink caretakers, there wasn’t a transition, I just went offscreen. I tried reloading and playing through again, and it still happened. I’m not sure if that’s broken, or if it just ends like that.
Nice concept. And the art reminds me of old games, which is wonderful!
Oh man this was one a blast. The art was cute, the music was fun, and the design was so intuitive. Definitely one of my favorites.
This is a great game all-round, with nice graphics and a creative idea! I kept switching to the middle age to go as fast as possible and getting caught haha, really fun game :)
Nicely done! The concept has been used before though, still very well made! :)
