How does your game fit the theme?
When the time stone gets stolen, the player gets catapulted back and forth through the centuries. Time and Space is out of control! (Even though all art and sound effects were pre-existing, the music was written during the jam. This is my first ever game )

Wow I love this game's art style! I hope you keep working on this after the jam. Great work!
Thanks, for your feedback. I will 100% keep working on this, so keep an eye out for further progress!
I'll give you a follow to keep updated!
I really loved the same space, different times mechanic in Titanfall and Dishonored and this was a really cool take on it! Not being able to control the time made you constantly have to juggle between challenges in both times. The art style and music were really good too! I did encounter one glitch where I died, then when I respawned the camera was broken, so I had to restart the game. No worries though since obviously game jam games are gonna have some bugs in them.
Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad that you enjoyed my game. To be honest I have never played Titanfall or Dishonored, but probably should check out the levels in question since they also got mentioned when Mark played my game during the live stream. I actually got the inspiration for the different times from Soul Reaver's spectral plane.
I will work on the bugs when the game jam is over, and then start expanding on the idea. Keep an eye out, because there is more to come! ;)
What an incredible game. Nicely simple and well executed. The atmosphere was really amazing. I can't stop playing this game. Man, you've done addicting game. I got so much fun. Awesome.
That was a really interesting concept and I loved the art! Awesome job!
Thank you so much, glad you had fun!
Exploring the same spaces in different time periods is a really cool idea! At first I was not sure what was happening when it jumped around time, but that was because I didn't read the intro info first... my bad. Really cool environments and visual style as well.
Thanks for your feedback, I'll keep working on this after the jam. Then there will be more story also inside the game, so you won't have to read the intro anymore ;)
The atmosphere was great! I really liked the time travel concept although it was a bit to frequent to my taste. Good job!
I would appreciate it if you'll have time to check out my game.
Thanks for your feedback! Just played your game and gave you a rating.
Pretty fun, especially the part where i broke the game completly ! XD
Interesting interpretation of the theme, keep it up !
Thanks for going through my game in depth haha
I'll be continue working on this game after the jam, so stay tuned!
Really neat game! Great job on the audio, the game sounds great. I liked the mechanic too, it was a nice challenge to have to plan out where I will reappear in order to avoid the skeletons. I had a bug where some text was rendering over other text so I couldn't read it but restarting fixed it. It would be cool to see this game expanded on!
Thanks for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed it. I'm gonna continue working on this game after the jam and attempt to release it as a full title. I already have some ideas, and getting some valuable notes from some here. Stay tuned!
Love the concept, there's huge potential to expand on this into something much bigger. Great job, especially for your first game!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed my game. I'm gonna continue with this project and try to make it a full release. so definitely more to come!
Interesting game. As I wish there was slightly more to the time travel mechanic, I'm interested for further development. Good job!
Thanks for your feedback. I will develop it further to make it a full release eventually. So, keep an eye out for the time traveling pirate ;)
just finished editing the gameplay trailer!
This game is amazing. It's such a simple concept but super well executed!
The only problem I ran into was having some text display over itself, which isn't that big of a deal all things considered.
I would love to see you continue to build on this in the future. I would also enjoy seeing puzzles where the player does something in the past to alter the future.
Great game, good luck on the jam and with your game dev journey!
Thank you for your feedback, I'll continue working on this for sure. And more cause and effect between the two timelines is on my list of things that was way beyond the scope of the gamejam but should make it in a future version. Stay tuned!
I'll check your game tomorrow, it's already early morning here now and I need to sleep :)
I actually can't quite believe how good this is for someone's first game! It's looks really nice (even if the assets weren't original, there's nothing wrong with premade assets), it's a really cool concept, and although it was a little buggy in places (overlapping text and at one point being yeeted into the space to freefall endlessly) overall it was a pretty enjoyable experience. I would have loved to have seen some more stuff that involves the fact it's time travel, e.g. changing stuff in the past world affects the future world. Really nice job though!
Thanks for playing! Stuff from the past affecting the future is on my list of things that didn't make it into the gamejam version because of the time restraint, but definitely wanna include that when I continue developing it. Stay tuned!
I got flashback to my childhood runescape gaming! Lovely art. Got a a little stuck as the text bugged out (and I clipped through the floor twice), but I had a good time either way.
Thanks a lot for playing and giving feedback. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it enough to restart it even after glitching through the terrain :)
Loved the graphics! having an indicator for the level swap would be nice. I was looking for a key/lever in one level to open a gate in the other level. The final objective could be clearer. Overall looks good!
Thanks for your feedback. Don't stop looking, there IS a lever for the last door :)
I love puzzles games, I love the atmosphere and I love how you interpreted the theme. Collecting treasure one second and being forced back to the future with skeletons attacking you the next really feels out of control.
In the context of the Jam, it has some bugs and some informations aren't very clear but that aside, you have a great prototype that I hope you keep building on in the future and into a full, real game.

Thanks for your feedback, definitely will continue to work on it.
Haha, Mark was so disappointed when he couldn't pick up the treasure on the pedestal :D
I saw it on GMTK stream and got instantly interested. I've seen this mechanic in some games already, but never out of control, so I think you hit the theme quite nice. Good entry!
Thanks for checking out my game. I will continue working on it when the jam is over, so stay tuned for more relentless time traveling ;)
Very cool concept I liked it a lot !
Thanks for playing!
I was amazed from your game even before playing by myself (I've seen it on Mark's stream). I've started learning Unity recently too (4 months ago), so I'm impressed with what you've achieved in such a short period... Probably, I need to work more :D It's motivating
Considering the time restrictions and your experience, I'm convinced that the game's execution is solid, original and well polished. The time travel stuff is the hardest to work with, but it's my favorite one, and you did a great job of doing the game around the time. Just let me tell you to keep up making games, because you're already doing an amazing job with them, I loved it :)
Thanks for your feedback and the encouragement :)
This game is far from over, I'm gonna keep developing it to a final game. Stay tuned!
That's a pretty cool game! I really liked the art style, please keep working on it after the jam, i think that's a cool project!
Thank you, yes I will continue working on it after the jam, so stay tuned!
