Awesome game! I really liked the clock interface used to show when you would be forced to do certain actions.
Thanks for playing! I spent a lot of time on getting the UI to be readable and make sense, so I'm glad it worked out as well as it did.
i like this game a lot. I wouldn't be able to tell that it has been made during a game jam if it wasn't precised
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Great execution of its core concept; really feels like every meaningful possibility was explored. My only frustration is with my own brain for knowing what I wanted to do but not sending the right signals to my hands to execute it!
[Edit] If I were to suggest anything, it might be a button to accelerate time to keep waiting to a minimum, since I don’t believe this would interfere with the game’s challenge.
Thanks so much! Oh, adding a speed up button is fantastic idea. I can't believe I didn't think of that.
Really fun game. If you continue working on it, try to keep the necessary waiting to a minimum.
Thanks! Yeah, it was hard to balance the timer moving too fast and having to wait around too much. That part could certainly be improved.
Really enjoyable twist in the concept. I could see this being expanded into an entire game that twist the concept even more, please. The only comment of desire for future feature, which I said on a stream while this was being played. Is it would be cool if the sound effects due to them being on a timer was tuned to the music so they kinda flow with the background music.
Thanks so much! I wanted the timer to fit with the music, but I sadly didn't have enough time to put it together. I would definitely do that for an expanded version.
Awesome! Great game
This was a pretty funny game! Would love to see more about it.
Thanks! Yeah, so many level ideas just kept coming to me and I didn't have time to implement them all.
Thanks!
This is brilliant, I absolutely love the idea. Really well implemented
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it.
Fairly simple to understand, solid execution - felt a bit tight timing-wise in some spots. Either way, cool game! Cheers
Thanks! Yeah, it was tough to balance to timer somewhere where you didn't have to rush but you also don't have to wait too long.
WOW! This was so fun! Some of these levels are pure fun! I think some of the level ordering and little things like that could be tweaked but overall just incredible work!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. The ordering of levels is always harder than you want it to be.
Oh for sure! Especially in the heat of a jam. We all just sort of throw levels in and if we get lucky have a little time to switch some around haha
That's pretty awesome. There were some really clever little puzzle-y moments in there. It only kinda fits the theme but good enough.
Thanks so much! I tried to make it a puzzle platformer, so I'm glad that came through at points.
Thanks! Great minds think alike. I spent a lot of time on the UI, so I'm glad that it was intuitive.
Well polished and tight controls.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cute!
Really cool! Minimalistic but cute art and good level design, I like it
Thanks so much! I was hoping people would think it was cute.
Great idea and level design. Got quite challenging at the end.
Thank you! Level ideas just kept coming to me, so I made as many as I could.
Very innovative! I really enjoyed this
Thanks so much! I'm glad.
Charming visuals and idea, well done!
Thanks! I'm still getting the hang of pixel art, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.
I really love this game and idea behind it. Job well done!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it.
Oh, wow that's a great and innovative mechanic ! The controls are a bit hard, it could be smoother, but that's a great idea ! Good job !
Thanks so much! I agree that the controls could be a bit smoother.
