Ranked from 28 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player has to find and disable a time machine to stop it from rewinding time every night and therefore escape from a time loop.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all the code and assets were made by me during the 7 days. The only exception is the "Minimal5x7"-Font by kheftel, available under CC0.

Nice adventure, I like the graphics and the user interface to interact with thinks.. I have still to finish it.. I already added on my collection.

Really cool! A really nice twist on the detective formula. The art looks amazing and the lights and visual effects look really nice. Good Job!

Love point and click adventure games, and this one is great in every aspect!!! It was kinda easy, but still super fun. Congrats!!! 

Submitted

What a fun game! The music created a really nice experience. Loved the ending. Like in other comments, needs just the adjustment in the item section.

Great, great job, friend!

Thank you! I'm already working on implementing this in the next version for after the rating period.

Submitted

Glad to hear! 

If you have time, check out our game too~~

Played your game in this video here at 01:46:40. Didn't get my audio settings quite right so my feedback is a bit, quiet, but hopefully it's still helpful feedback.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing my game in your video and for the feedback. I will definitely implement your idea that the player keeps walking while holding the mouse in the first update after the rating period is over.

A fun experience! Loved the ending, did something quite similar on the project I worked on :) And the moody music was a good fit.

For a UX improvement, maybe you could make it so that right-clicking would switch between the different available “states” - look/interact/pick up - because that’s something I was hoping for. It also took me a quick moment to realize that I have to click on the bottom-most icon to switch to “pick up”, was kind of expecting the “hand” to also pick up stuff.

I'm happy you enjoyed it. The idea of switching the mode with right-click is great and I'll add it in the next update! I'll think about merging the "Pickup" and "Interact" modes. It's probably more intuitive. Thank you very much for your very helpful feedback!

The pixel art graphics are very nice
Good Work!

Submitted

I love the graphics on your game, the pixel art is really neat and charming, the game play is simple as it is a point and click but the story is nice and fits the theme really well of course, i wish there was a more efficient way to go through the inventory tabs i guess i'm just lazy on my part on that but overall really nice game, GREAT JOB!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I have heard people say the same about switching the interaction mode, so I'll address it in the next update. I'm happy you like it.

Submitted

Nice Game, very good pixel art and owerall graphics. The game could maybe benefit with some music.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! It does have music though. Or do you mean a few more songs for variety?

Or was it too silent by default? The volume can be controlled on the top right.

Submitted

sorry my speakers was not on. My bad

Developer

No problem. I'm just happy it' wasn't a bug on my side ^^

Submitted

I genuinely loved everything about it, I am actually craving for the rest of the game now! Incredible job!

Submitted

Fun game. Loved the aesthetic! A good take on point and click adventure, and for a game jam the length was pretty good.

Submitted

This brings me back to the Lucas Arts adventure game days. Nice work on creating a nostalgic aesthetic.

Submitted

I enjoyed playing it! the art is great and so is the music. I did find the item system to be a bit clunky but maybe that was just me, anyway great game!

Developer

Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback.
Do you maybe have an Idea on how to make it feel more polished/less clunky?

Submitted

I think if you had it so you could just drag items from your inventory to objects it would be a lot more smooth.

Submitted

I really love this!!Great art, great music, fun gamplay

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate it!
