Such a great well rounded gam! looks great and plays really well

Submitted

Lovely presentation

Submitted

Simply just a lovely and well made game! I really like the pause and music slowdown and how they feel!

As for a little feedback, the rotation could do with speeding up a bit!

Awesome job, well done!

Submitted

Make sure to add more levels after the jam! It's so addicting to play and challenging. lol. Great job! 

Submitted

I absolutely love the calm atmosphere in this game as well as how many ways you have to solve each puzzle. The levels are really minimalistic but clever. However, I think it kind of takes a tad too long to rotate the level, but maybe that’s just my corrupted attention span.

Submitted

I like puzzle part of the game, but absolutely hate the moment when you should freeze time on flag to switch direction and catch it. Anyway this is one of the best games I've played on the jam!

Submitted

Nice small puzzle game!
Amazing controls, levels and overall great presentation.
Love it! One of the best games here.

Submitted

Nice puzzle game. 

What I like :

  • The overall polish, music and sounds, there's just what it needs. 
  • The enemies that stay on there path (not rotating), great system.

What can be improve :

  • Add some big arrows on side to tell 'left' is rotating in this  direction, 'right' in this one..
  • Perhaps, only freeze when rotating.

Great job.

I liked this game! Here’s my feedback, part negative, part positive, hope it helps.

  • I’m unsure how well the game captures the Roles Reversed theme. Maybe because I’ve seen the rotating the scenario thing before (which does NOT make the game any worse) and so it doesn’t feel like I’m doing the opposite of a normal puzzle.
  • The bounce effect feels bad, other people already said you can kinda get off track when hitting corners, but also you can bounce off a wall and then hit a ghost. I think just sticking to the wall would be better.
  • Bugs: in level 8, for some reason I couldn’t finish the level no matter how I touched the flag. Died then did passed it without problems. And in level 9, I got soft-locked by hitting a ghost while on “freeze”.
  • Really clean, polished presentation, loved that. Perfect if not for the soft-lock, even.
  • Gameplay feels overall good and natural. I think this could easily evolve to a more ““complete”” game.
  • While I’m unsure about the freeze mechanic at the core of the puzzles (I get the impression that it could take away the fun of not fully controlling your character but I could be totally wrong), I REALLY liked the ghosts and the fact that they change trajectories. Died to them 10+ times in lv 9 and it only made me engage more with the game, please exploit those enemies in a future build!

Very polished, the puzzles were nice, and the way you had ghosts change direction along with you turning was a great touch for difficulty. Great work!

Submitted

very polished ! great work

Submitted

This was fun! Had fun puzzles and an overall simple design!

Submitted

I like the concept !! I wanted to do a time-based game at first so I like it more. I think the controls should have been shown during all the game, but it still works without since there's so few inputs.

Submitted

This feels very polished, and I like the simplicity. Once I figured out the time stop, I could see this having a bunch of really interesting levels.

Submitted

Really like the simple setup and execution, it works wonders. Same criticism as others, the time stop mechanic isn't well presented. It works well, though.

Submitted

I liked the simplicity of the main mechanic. 

It feels and looks like a finished and polished game already.

The only criticism I have, is that the time stopping mechanic isn't introduced very well. I didn't event notice it and almost got stuck at level 4. I only leaned about it when I was looking through the comments here.

Other than that its a great game that has some serious potential as mobile game.

Submitted

Pretty fun! Since the stop time mechanic is only needed in the later levels, I kinda forgot about it, then had to learn about it when I had to use it. Also, I think that getting hit by a ghost while time is stopped softlocks you, but other than that, it's pretty good

Submitted

Fantastic game. I really like the gimmick and its very polished. This is absolutely a contender for top 20.

Submitted

This would make a great mobile game

Submitted

Hey ! Nice little game !


The graphisms are simple but cute, there's no bug, the mechanic is really cool. Being able to stop time during movement is a nice touch.

The only complaint I would have, is that sometimes, when the player hit an edge, it get yeeted elsewhere. But that's nothing really.

Congrats on your game !
