Simple and but fun mechanics. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. This has so much potential for future rounds.
This is such a great idea! A lot of potential to explore with the 10 seconds, good Job. I definetly want to see you continue this game, because this can become a really nice puzzle game.
As some others already stated, the blocks jitter a bit when moving with time, but thats not a big problem.
"Timmy the timer got taped to a time bomb" is hilarious opening but also sounded very promissing and I was sad that this angle wasn't exploited much (for example, when time runs out Timmy just get's knocked down but doesn't explode as promised). The gameplay is nice, I'd get annoyed at games that reset every death but repeating the learned maneuvers was fun here so I managed to beat it after ~10 tries. Player's walk animation is adorable.
It was extremely short but the mechanic were all there. Now just add more levels, maybe some enemies and you got yourself an interesting indie game. The art was simple enough to probably be able to produce them fast for a multitude of levels.
I need tos ee this game in round 2 with more polish and stuff, great stuff hazmatt your games are always good!!
This is awesome. I really like the pause and rewind mechanics. Would love to play more of this and see what other ideas you could cook up for challenges or puzzles with the mechanics. I think a bit of a tutorial would've been good, took me a second to figure out what to do, but wasn't too bad once I read thru the instructions on the page lol. Great work!
That was awesome! I love the time control mechanic, there is so much potential with only have 10 seconds where all the level's objects are doing specific things on the timeline. Very very cool.
I would say some really brief demonstration of the mechanic at the beginning (like a tutorial but just like... a 2 second animation or something demonstrating rather than a description tutorial) that would be cool. Also, if you can get the objects to move more smoothly through time, that would be nice. there's a little choppyness to their movement i noticed.
As for the core and secondary mechanics, they're brilliant ideas. Keep going with it!
That's really helpful feedback about the smoothness. Right now I'm doing some shenanigans to try to have time slow to a halt and speed up to normal without changing immediately, but it effectively just drops the frame rate of time affected objects so it looks jumpy for a bit. I might have to play around with the speed up and slow down to smooth it out. Thanks!
I really like the platforming mechanics with the wall jump mix with the time manipulation mechanics. I think you nailed the prompt and all the judging criteria and want to see more of this game. Well done!
awesome concept!
would love to see this developed further
took a while for me to get the hang of the mechanics but its pretty easy to understand really
loved it! nice work man!
yo can you make this work in real life
i need to reverse time so i can prevent myself eating that one chili the other dayI can't wait till the rest of the story, I need to know what happened to Timmy the Timer!
I'm not great at platformers and I was especially terrible at this one. I wish it started easier. I like the idea of it, but I could hardly progress with my skill level.
This is a great idea, honestly love the time manipulation stuff like this! The time being on the character made it easy to see how close I was to losing. If I could rewind 10 seconds, I would write this review again!
Love this game! It took me a second to understand the time warping but once I got it under control, it was fun!
Super cool concept
Very interesting time mechanic! And cute character design!
Would be waiting for more levels if you continue development )
I really like how the time mechanic! I see a lot of potential for future levels, and honestly I really hope you continue this project
