This is very well made! Really clever consept, puzzles were nicely balanced as well. It never got to a point where it felt frustrating to solve. Well done!
This is fantastic, only minor issue is the controls felt a bit finnicky and unintuitive. It was workable until the time pressure got added but I couldn't get to the end because of that.
This is such a cool concept overall! I love how you took the theme and ran with it. awesome job :D
Fantastic platformer with smart puzzles (the use of boxes and the thing with the switch on top is superb)! The beautifully melancholic music and the setting evokes Celeste and I love it. You've got something very good here devs, very well done.
Best game so far.
The puzzle mechanics are fantastic and the way you combine them was really fun.
I could see this being expanded with a lot more puzzles. Lot's of potential.
The little escape sequence at the end was nice too and gave me a little "oh that's so clever" moment when I fell from the cliff.
Overall amazing game.
This is so good, enjoyed it a lot! Coming in, I expected it to be a precision platformer, but turned out it's a puzzle platformer with a really well-thought mechanic and theme! I really love the ending. Noticed the skull in the beginning and I was like "why is that thing there?"
And when we reached the monster, I am like "oh is that past and future?" and I thought it was just going to be appearing there but then the ending hits me. Well done. Great foreshadowing, great storytelling, great puzzle. Love the arts.
