A very polished entry, like other players mentioned. Combat/getting a match felt satisfying to pull off and kept me playing. Teaching the player how to play in the starting corridor was a genious idea, instead of having a wall of text or something.

This could easily have been a run of the mill "you encountered an enemy, match 3 to deal damage", but a lot more thought went into that. I liked the decision to keep combat in the level itself and that it wasn't a mini game. A carefully crafted experience and a worthy entry to the game jam! I can't think of a flaw to bring up, honestly. Sometimes it was a bit tedious chasing enemies around when I did not have access to the time freeze, but that was mostly my fault for not matching up quick enough to decrease the cooldown.

The juice in this entry is polished. Sound design, colours, and particle affects from the match effect *chefs kiss*. I wish I was better at the game, but I literally never play match 3 games and I'm just bad. It is really satisfying to kill those large cube enemies though and the matching to pick up an item in the item rooms is interesting.

really neat mechanic and love the whole vibe from the sound to the colours! I was expecting that not using all the timefreeze would mean that i keep the unused stuff to use again later but it didnt take away from it being fun to play
