Wow, this game is so cool! Instantly understood how to rewind before even using the mechanic. Movement, for the most part, was really tight, only wall-jumping seemed a little off to me. I threw me a little that the character could wall-jump from the ground, and then I had to hold towards the wall when jumping off it. Once I’d gotten used to it, it was fine however. The art is fantastic, and the audio is lovely and really fitting. The puzzle progression felt good, and I liked how you turned the bar at the top into a time attack/management puzzle, although originally I was getting killed by it and didn’t know it existed, I don’t know if there is a way to make it more obvious (honestly it doesn’t matter). Excellent project, thoroughly enjoyed it!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
A mysterious and mute protagonist journeys across different dimensions existing in past, present and future, observing the complexities of what once was. With the aid of peculiar time-reversing abilities, traverse three temporally-trapped zones while platforming through space and preventing time from collapsing on itself.
While jumping, time rewinds around you. Raindrops float upwards and moving platforms return to their start. Keep the timeline stable by ensuring time never moves too far forward or backwards.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. We built it off of Monogame, Visual Studio, and the Ogmo tile editor. All assets were made from scratch, including all art and music, with the exception of sound effects which were adapted from royalty-free sounds found on Zapsplat. FMOD and Monogame integration was based on https://github.com/Martenfur/ChaiFoxes.FMODAudio
