- The shader effects really help the pixel art come to life here, and I love the details in the backgrounds and environment. Controls were simple and fluid and I sadly I always felt like when I died, it was entirely my fault! Thank you for the checkpoints, I think I would have given up without them. I got a good way into the level and liked how it progressively got more complex - that sequence where you drop down a long way and have to toggle the spikes on and off quickly was pretty evil! A nice concept, on theme and polished. Well done!

Really cohesive game that provides a good level of challenge (especially for me who isn’t great at puzzle platformers haha). Was fireworks my destiny? I thought that was the end but then there wasn’t really a “Game Finished” or anything and I couldn’t pass the lake at the top. Still, excellent entry, nice work!
Excellent platformer that is 90's hard, but let's you respawn at the right moments. Superb graphics, especially the lens effect, I cant get over it. The mirror universe is a nice touch, but I struggle to tie it to the power theme other than that it is a kind of super power.
Incredible game! Nicely done on every aspects! I think you did a fantastic job with the difficulty levels! Very intuitive and with a progressive challenge that ramps up smoothly.
The neon aestheics are super cool and something I haven't seen before. The switching mechanic kept me interested to play through the whole game :) I liked how the respawns would always be very nearby where I died and very fast, so it didn't feel too punishing for making mistakes. The overall ambience was chill but the confetti at the summit scared me :( hahaha
Nice platformer with that time-switch-twist :)
Cool graphics and music too
Nice game! I love the art style, it's simple but looks great. The ability that changes the environment is clever and well done.
good game
screen stays black at the beginning for me :(
I think that is because I enforced the game during development to render using WEBGL only when I tried to implement some custom rendering pipelines, but dropped the idea and forget to set it to auto to also target the 2D canvas 😅
Nice little platforming challenge, you really did a great job here. The visuals and music also pretty nice. Also like the distortion added when the effect is active.
I enjoyed playing this game! I really like the arts, mechanics and audio. Also very nice level design. Great entry!
Very cool! Loved the concept and execution. Contrats!
Really great game, my only feedback is I think the movement could be a little more responsive it feels like the acceleration adds a delay. Graphics and gameplay are really good
Thanks for playing and reviewing the game
My god, the art is sooo beautiful! It reminds me of some old games i used to play when i was a kid! Great switching mechanic. Loved the level design, it's simple at first but in some moments have some fun and challenging parts. It's intuitive also...very good game design. Absolutley enjoying it!
Keep up the good work!
Im glad you enjoyed it so much, thanks for playing
Cool game! Echoes of Celeste/Fez & surprisingly tough in places. Minor nitpicks but I would have liked more gfx when switching between times (maybe sepiatone) and as Reit said the movement was a tad slippery. Super well polished (parallax, small sfx)
Thank you for playing and for the review, I think the same of the problems
I love this platformer. At first, I thought it was easy, but it became more and more challenging, which I like. The graphics and music fit well together. The movement is a little bit slippery and takes some time getting used to, but I completed the game. I’m happy with the checkpoints, otherwise I would probably give up.
It would be nice to see the game developed further with some more powers/abilities, but overall a great entry in 2 weeks.
Im glad that you enjoyed playing and thanks for the criticism 🙂
I am also not happy with the movement, it feels very unresponsive and it gets more in the way of the main mechanic then support it
Lovely game, very polished. Well done.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
beautiful graphics and sound design, challenging and fair platforming whats not to love here, only problem is could be longer with even more exploration of the power.
Glad you enjoyed it, I also think is very short and there are more possibilities to push with this game mechanic
The design is really cool, I like the neon aesthetic. Difficulty ramp up was smooth, and I appreciated the smart placement of checkpoints. Overall a really well-made and well-polished game.
Thank you very much
The art is good, you tricked me with the left direction of the level
thank you
Love the art style and the concept overall! I can see a lot of cool and interesting puzzle interactions for a larger adaptation!
