In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game is about the Universe going into Chaos as the timeline starts splitting after every choice you mak.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code myself, and used some assets as reference but created my own versions of them.

Cool idea! the tutorial is painfully slow since you have to listen to the text every time.
That was a nice puzzle! Really game design here was great stuff, the idea to move between timelines at first looked cheap with those holes and bit boring but with that snap of story, and people interacting with each other it was very pleasant thing, sadly very short one but still nice.
I always like a good puzzle game! I'm getting strong Loki vibes from this :). The concept here is really neat, and you designed some interesting levels to show it off. I like that you didn't just stick to something basic like button pressing, and instead added little stories, it's a great little touch.
Additional feedback on codes and some sound effects would help the game-feel a bit but I get that time constraints make this stuff hard to prioritise. Also it's possible to collect multiple of the same code, so perhaps consider adding something that prevents you filling the screen with identical codes. Listing the codes on screen is a nice touch though, you could maybe go even further and have the codes enter automatically which might help the ease of play a bit.
Overall this is a unique concept, and you executed on it well, producing a really fun little game. Great job!
I wanted to make the codes only retrievable once, but even displaying them was a last minute decision because I realized it was getting too hard to remember them. Thank you so much for the feedback!
Hi, Your game is really cool.
I'd love you to play and rate mine. Its unique platformer and top-down blending. This is my first jam BTW. Please check the gameplay, I bet you will love the challenge when you play by yourself.

Very well design puzzles, I enjoyed playing each level. Great animation and concept. Putting code on the screen is very thoughtful. Wish there were more feedbacks when the player submits the wrong code. Well done!
Thank you for the feedback. I implemented as much as I could in the short time, I would have definitely added better visual feedback if I had more time! I will keep it in mind if I ever decide to expand upon the game!
Awesome concept!
I really like the concept of the branching timelines and going back in time to solve a problem in the future, really unique. The animations looked cool, great job simplifying while maintaining the aesthetics working. I think I found a bug on the 0992 door because it wouldn't open for some reason.
Firstly, thank you for the compliments. Secondly, as the game is a puzzler the answer is not always the most obvious one, a specific code doesn't have to only open the door right next to it :)
Cool idea, I like the graphics of the characters and the splitting stories, well done!
Hey ! Did you wai the series LOKI ?
Cause this reminded me a lot of that :)
Rated
I did, that is where I got my inspiration!
The audio and visuals are great, the concept of the timeline is also very cool (reminds me of LOKI), It would have been better if the game gave a hint for what to do next when the player is stuck.
Please check out my game too :D
Good and innovative concept! I really like it!
Nice job! Immediately thought of Loki lol
Nice game, quite enjoyable
Such a great concept, I felt there was alot of slowness to it, which added to it's tone. great stuff, tell me what you think of my entry.
Liked the concept and art.
I played your game it was fun and overall I liked the concept and I gave it 5 stars :p
Pls rate back :D
Chaos of destruction
Nice concept, could definitely see some awesome potential in this game! great work
Cool concept! reminded me of the show Loki!
That is where I got my inspiration!
The concept is very cool and creative. It's a great puzzle game with amazing assets.
