Very nice concept! I included it in my Games Plus Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)

To start off, this game looks amazing. I love the progression between the builds, and I think it works seamlessly in a way I didn't think was possible. I think the game definitely fits in with the theme. 

When it comes to the gameplay, I'm really torn. While I understand that the gameplay was intentionally bad at the start, it didn't make it any less frustrating when I was playing the game. As much as I like the idea of the game gradually improving, I had to grind through the first parts of the game, in order to get to the final build. I think if you were to make this into a fully fledged  game, you still need to make the early builds enjoyable, as it could otherwise turn people off at the gate. I only managed to complete the game on my second playthrough, and I didn't even get to the final build the first time. 

Overall though, you certainly achieved your goal here, and I'm amazed you managed to do all this in 3 days. Well done!

Game is really awesome, the concept is cool and graphics is good. Jumping is a bit crappy and too fast

Developer

I am happy you liked my game and thanks for playing, the crappy jumping at the start was intentional to simulate the quality of an pre alpha

The concept of this is absolutely wonderful, playing a platform game based where you can switch through current development phases/times. The only things that bugged me was the camera and the jumping, the Camera speed from left to right was way to fast & the jump went way to high, but i'm just nit picking xD Overall, amazing concept & a great game, I hope you continue development on this one I would love to see where it goes.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback, the jumping was intentional though to simulate the bad quality of an pre alpha. I am happy you liked my game :)

Love it! I like the different stages of development, and that your stats also changes instead of just the textures. The sounds were pretty cool too!
