Dope use of the time mechanic. I can see it going in so many directions. Here's a link to my playthrough https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1496823583?t=00h58m43s

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely gonna fine tune the mechanics so it feels better now that the jam is over.

Looking forward to it! Well done!

That's one self-aware sword.

I've in fact used regular time in some parts of the game but as mentioned in other comments it's not strictly needed.

Also, some parts of the level were a bit too repetitive. I think some variation could juice these up.

I liked the pink though!

thanks, i like the pink as well.

And yeah i already got a better version which I'll upload after the jam which will hopefully fix these issues, at least some of them.

Conceptually slowing down time is pretty cool but there's not much reason to switch back other than for convenience, except in the part with the bouncy platforms where I found out it was easier to gain momentum at regular speed and then switch to slow time to clear the gap. Regardless, there's a lot of content in this game for such a short amount of time, though as of right now the optimal playstyle has virtually no use of regular time. Perhaps there could be some obstacles that make use of regular time, or a limit/cooldown to slowing down time to make things more interesting.

thanks for your suggestions!

Originally i wanted to put in a timer with a Highscore system to make people want to finish as fast as possible, which is obviously easier with the normal mode.

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time for that and I'll add them after the jam is over, but you're totally right atm there's no point.

I like the idea but would have liked more obstacles that required fast and slow time. I also think the movement was too fast when in regular time (the point I know) but then too slow in slow-mo. I also couldn't get past the rafts on the purple swamp. They were way too fast and kept throwing me off. Aside from that and some animation/art hiccups, I thought it was a cool idea. Making a platformer that requires speeding up and slowing down time is neat. Good work on the submission. The thematic for the game was neat as well.

Thank you!
