Very well done! I liked it a lot. It was a very interesting idea. And a nice story, too.
The collisions were a bit unforgiving. The puzzles were good, I loved them all. I found it weird that you would go back to puzzles with the mummy chasing you and you having to bring their bones to the past after introducing all the other mechanics. That puzzle came a bit out of nowhere. However, still a great game.
I loved the puzzle with the 3 items that you had to be careful not to leave together in certain combinations... but it had too much text! The two signs were basically equivalent. You could easily just keep the left one and the puzzle would be basically the same.
Overall it's a good game. Nice job!
And congratulations on your 20th rating!
thanks a lot for the review! You're right about the amount of text though. At first there werent that much signs, but my friends who tested out the puzzles for me were really needing some extra tips haha
Im playing your game next, thanks :D
I really enjoyed the puzzles, but it was a bit frustrating at times to press Q and SPACE
I'm writing my thoughts as I play.
Great game! The art was a little lacking since it looked like blurry pixel art, but it worked well enough. The game was really fun, too. Solid entry!
Thanks man, for playing my game and for the review. To pass the forest part, since you cant change the direction of the fire, you have to bring it to past, where the forest wasnt there yet and place it by the door, so when you go back to future, it will still be there and burn the bushes so you can pass.
In case you wanna give it another go, there's a walkthroug you can download in the game's page.
Thank you once again, I really struggle with UI on unity, so I do apreciate any tips I receive haha :D
The puzzles are actually pretty good - your game is among the few that uses the 'time rewind to past timelines' kind of game but I enjoy your rendition of this because for some of the puzzles you integrate the time element quite well! For example, when the plant was left with the water, when you return to present time - the small plant became an entire forest!
One of the most significant gripe I have the significantly detracts from my experience are the controls:
Q and Spacebar, do not always work 100% as intended. It can become a bit cumbersome when trying to pick up items but having to adjust the character ever so slightly, all the time just to pick up stuff.
This was a fun neat project and a very clever way of integrating time narratively into your puzzles. Very simple puzzle game - very nice!
Thank you man! I dont know why Q and Spacebar inputs are not working properly though. I took sometime to look at it, but just cant find what is causing it. Anyway, thanks for the review, you're awesome! :D
The puzzles in this game are so good! Reminded me a lot of Undertale for some reason. This game could've benefited from simple desert/temple music, and a cleaner UI. Some of the puzzles are really clever I think. Also you should've added an easter egg when someone types DIO instead of the correct name at the end. Some particles definitely would've added to the experience too, such as walking, falling sand, death and time travel particles. This game is pretty fun and has a lot of humor, but there are a lot of typos, but that's nitpicking.
Thanks man! Im really happy you played untill the end. I was going to create a different message for when somebody typed DIO but I completely forgot haha. Huge thanks bro
Fun game! I also found the death messages to be pretty funny.
thanks man, Apreciate it!
Cool game :)
Very interesting take on the theme, i like it!
Sometimes "Q" was getting laggy and buggy. Also simple sounds would have added a lot to the feeling. Keep doing good job!
Yeah, I was trying to fix that but I dont really know what is going on. Anyway, thanks for playing my game, Im heckiing out yours right now.
Fun game I love puzzle games and this put a cool twist on them
Thanks man, Im gonna check out yours too
I think I made infinite skeletons on the second level. Oops!
Thats the point haha
Very cool mechanic, loved the design of the enemy ,reminded me of the reddit icon xd
Haha my plan was to improve all the pixelarts but I ended up leaving everything as it was haha
Really creative mechanic!, having to switch between times but each with a certain risks! really cool :D
Thanks man, Apreciate it :D
