The good stuff:
- Solid level design, maybe slightly too claustophobic imo
- Most of the sprites look great
- I had fun breaking the game (more on that later)

The stuff to improve:
- Every minotaur (?) can be cheesed (look at cheese spot 1-2 screenshots)
- The last boss can be cheesed with the checkpoint next to it refilling your HP and just pressing R whenever they hit you (look at final boss cheese screenshot)
- You can jump over most of the enemies to skip fighting them
- I still don't quite understand the main mechanics, they seem really inconsistent; Is there an invisible cooldown between uses?
- Final boss is a bit anti-climactic as it uses the same attack as the other enemy; and it's really to dodge as well (attack 3 times, jump, repeat)

Graphics:
- There are some pixel art inconsistencies, some sprites have anti-aliasing, some don't.
- The grass/ground tile has a lot of detail and brings unnecessary focus on them, while the minotaur has a lot less detail, when it's supposed to get all the attention when you fight them. The same could be applied to the background as well but it's not as bad there as it's just one color really.

Overall, I had fun with the game, definetly has a lot of room for improvement.

Cheese spot 1. (can't attack me while I can attack them)

Cheese spot 2. (breaks the AI)

Final boss cheese: (checkpoint refill exploit

Really great game! Well-made and beautiful art :)

Beautiful game - love the art. The music went well with the game too. I thought the frequency of checkpoints was perfect and it was well balanced - challenging enough. The additional mechanics were interesting and I enjoyed the variety of enemies abilities. My only other thought was about combat indicators but I see others have made this comment :). Overall, I really enjoyed this game and found myself playing for a while so well done!

An interesting blend of theme and mechanics! I enjoyed being able to reset time when I would get hit one too many times but I was never fast enough to use it when falling into a bottomless pit. Art and backgrounds was great, Good Work!

I really liked the time manipulation aspect, very cool, little confusing. The retro look and parallax were very well done! 

I found the game very enjoyable to play! The scales + hourgalss mechanics are a bit confusing at first, but quite easy to figure out. I didn't have any issues with controls and didn't get stuck anywhere.

It's a bit weird that some enemies get their state reset with hourglass but some don't (maybe I missed something). I think hourglass could shine if there were moving or disappearing platforms, but as of right now, it's just for saving some health or as an alternative to scales when they're not ready.

Maybe a healing ability could replace the hourglass, and if you're using healing too much, some enemies could steal some of your healing? Think of enemy scales but not for damage, but for healing. Just sharing some ideas that I had while playing...

Overall, I liked the game! Great job!
