I enjoyed playing the game, although it felt a bit on the short side. The art and music were quite nice. 

Only minor complaint I have is that the first spike level and the very last level drag on for quite a while because of the infrastructure you have to build and the time it takes for the player to fully rewind before you get in control again.
Or maybe I'm just bad at building...

Very well done, regardless!

The main game mechanic is very intuitive and lent itself to some very nice puzzles and challenges. I especially liked the falling spike blocks! Good job!

Building simulator) nice game, was fun to play. Should extend theme with more puzzles.

Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you had fun, and I will definitely try to add more levels at some point :D

Fun game, completed all of the levels. It will be cool if you add a checkpoint zone. The player will rewind to the latest checkpoint it pasted through.

This was a fun game and I was hoping somebody would do something like this! The music was calming. I really liked the areas where you couldn't rewind time, I think that was a neat mechanic. I found it hard to be able to judge how high the box can jump for when to rewind, so it took me several attempts to do some levels. Overall, I had a lot of fun playing and the rewind mechanic was well done :)

Great game , You can have fun playing but consider adding some few more things like removing only one block(so you don't need to restart all over again) or making your power to rewind limited, this adds difficult and depth. But nice job, I played only 4 levels but I liked it!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game! I agree with your feedback and I'm  thinking about continuing development of the game. If I do, the first thing I will add is the undo last box button, as I agree it is really annoying if you have to restart an entire level :)

The idea is very cool, it is well applied too, I just felt a little out of control when jumping, but overall, it was a great project!

Really like the music, reminds me to PolyBridge theme, And very original game.

Super cool idea for a game! I really liked the rewind mechanic how you basically make platforms for yourself. It was really cool.

One complaint I have is that it is REALLY easy to soft-lock your game and have to reset. I'm glad the reset function is in quick reach though and the levels are small enough that it is not very annoying to deal with.

Overall it's a fun and relaxing platformer game with a surprising amount of depth despite its simple mechanics!

Thank you for your feedback! I agree that it is too easy to soft lock, I wanted to fix that by adding the possibility to remove your last placed box but sadly I ran out of time. I'm glad you enjoyed the game though!
