Wow, i just can't stress enough how much I enjoyed this game! Let me start with what I found to be the most brilliant mechanic of this game: the time-travel, specifically how it's linked to the character's jumping abilities. I absolutely love how such a basic moveset is recontextualized by the rewind mechanic and how much depth it adds to the game. Suddenly, jumping is not only a means to move upwards but it's also a resource, the player has to be attentive and strategize where and when to jump in order to keep the airtime relatively low so the "time-bar" doesn't go all the way to the left. Suddenly, wall sliding is not only useful to slow-down your descent or to wall jump, but in this game it's also a way to stop the "jumping state" of the character and stop the rewinding of time. I also really like how the time mechanic can influence other moving obstacles, such as platforms of hazards. I might be biased because I really like challenging platformers with interesting mechanics (Celeste is one of my favorite games of all time), but I found the level design to be phenomenal, especially the more challenging levels towards the end of the game, complemented by the amazing music. I really like the rain effect and the way it's used as a visual indicator that time is moving forward/backwards, and I love how it gets faster as it approaches the end of the "time-bar" (timeline?), which yet again serves as a visual indicator but at the same time it makes the platforming in the later levels that much more intense. It feels great to see the rain get faster and faster, yet somehow still living afterwards and seeing the rain speed go back to normal. Other than a few minor bugs/issues, this is probably my favorite game I've played of this jam, I'd definitely like to play an even more polished, full version of this. Great job! 

Wow! Thanks for all the feedback and thoughtful review! We appreciate you taking the time to play our game! We are definitely considering continuing work on this game to make it a complete product and we will keep the itch page updated.
