- This game is incredibly charming and has impressive ambience. The stopwatch mechanic is a good usage of the theme, as well as the old-time vibe in general. Many puzzles made total sense and still felt unique, and I especially enjoyed trying to launch myself with the spinners.
- This actually had a lot of unique ideas. Pleasantly suprised with each level giving less room to use the time and how you integrated that into the puzzels themself. Very creative!!! Nice little art story and theme going there. The sound effects and the music did a really good job of mesh together.

Incredibly charming game and great usage of its mechanics. I enjoy that I had to really take in what got affected by the timer and what didn't. You guys did a wonderful job!
This was super fun! The art and sound were incredibly enjoyable, and the time rewind mechanic was a smart puzzle mechanic added to the platformer. I had a good time discovering that the events, such as the player pushing a block, also get rewound.
Good Game, some of these puzzles get really tricky but I enjoy the rewind mechanic.
It's so beautiful.
Really loved the artstyle, the mechanics. I lost track of time even though I was stuck on one puzzle for a while. 10/10!!!
wow!
The incorporation of time reversal in a clocktower-based platformer is brilliantly executed.
Using the stopwatch as an informal way of monitoring the passing and direction of time while the surrounding phenomena can be reversed at the player's will adds a layer of puzzle-solving for each level with rotating platforms and button keys that unlock entry to the next stage when pressed by a weighted object.
The presentation in both the game and the Itch.io link fits the clocktower ambiance that ties into the jam's selected theme. The sound effects also provide feedback to the player jumping around moving parts of the clock tower. The vintage music is icing on the cake.
The platforming controls merely involve horizontal movement and jumping while time can be reversed with left shift. The player can also reset the level with the R button in response to an irreversible problem.
