Just a few notes. 

  • I'm guessing this is just you running out of time, but the theme-related part of the game kicks in a bit too late, even if I do appreciate introducing mechanics one a time otherwise.
  •  The fact that the astronaut continues nonchalantly walking in place after getting spiked is a bit jarring, though I'll give you credit for making only the pointy bit of your spikes deadly.
  • Did the pushable objects benefit from being able to rotate? At one point the big barrel spun around with me on top of it and did its best to pile-drive me through the floor.
  • I'm not sure if the rewind mechanic always rewinding the full three seconds was an intentional limitation? If not, it might have been worth considering a second press of the button cancelling the rest of the rewind.

I definitely wouldn't mind playing more of this, were there more of this to play :]

As others have said, the gradual ramp-up of mechanics was definitely appreciated, and if you want to keep adding content you have a number of players who would be interested in trying more, myself included.  Good work!

Overall it was a simple gameplay, but with a good level design and nice art and music, congrats!

PS: There's no level 7-1, the button take us to the 'Thanks for playing' screen.

Yeah, unfortunately I wasn’t able to create more levels within the Jam deadline :(

very cool, liked the rewind implementation

Very nice game. I like the slow progress in adding only 1 mechanic at the time. The mirror and rewind mechanic was the best. Just wish after learning all the mechanics to have 2-3 hard levels which require combining them. Well done on this entry!

Nice steady progression of mechanics, and I liked the use of your own corpses to solve puzzles. Music was nice too, found myself jamming to it.

Good job - you managed to put all wildcards in there and a lot of game mechanics. I love that you managed to put a tutorial in the game. I guess there was no time left to create any further levels which is sad, because I would love to play some more.

Interesting take on the wildcards! I especially like how “why limit yourself?” and the theme is basically one and the same mechanic. This lends itself well to something that could be expanded upon and turn into a really cool fully-fletched platformer!

Nice. Showcased great mechanics with theme and wild cards. You could make entire games of several of these. I really like how you snuck the MEMENTO MORI one on me. I also really like the rewind one and I'm trying to figure out a game know based on that. Good Job!

Nice vibe and music! And the game controls are very pleasant to play with! I can easily see it becoming a great platformer with enough complex and interesting levels!

Very nice! you managed to add all wildcards and still make a game that makes sense, pretty impressive to be honest. Another impressive thing is the amount of diverse mechanics. I really liked you game well done! it is a pity that you do not have a cover but given that you submitted it in the very last minute! I am happy you made it into the jam it is a great game! Well done.

Developer

Thanks! I needed a day to rest after the Jam was over. I just added the cover and screenshots :)

Very nice setup - I appreciate that you added in all the wildcards as well as the theme. Feels good to maneuver the character, and the mechanics are interesting. Good work on implementing the time reverse ability, which I know can be tricky. I would have liked to have seen each mechanic explored a little more in depth. Overall, great job - congrats on the submission!

I had more levels planned, but could only create and test the tutorial levels before the deadline of the Game Jam. But anyways, thanks for playing!
