Makes me hate being a kid again lol. Great job! Here's a link to my playthrough https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1496823583?t=01h18m12s

Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback!

Sure thing!

I like the core idea but the gameplay needed some iteration. The tasks definitely needed some markers on them and the times were a bit tight. I did find the art charming though. Good submission!

There is no sound ? :'(

The fact there is no guide makes it impossible to win on the first try : you're only able to win once you know where the different tasks take places. The mix between mouse and keyboard control is a terrible idea : if you should have your two hands on the keyboard, make it possible to advance in the dialogue by pressing a keyboard key (especially if the timer starts right after the last line of dialogue).

The concept is fun and i like the implication that billy's candy is in fact drugs that modify his perception of time.

Its way too hard. The time window you get is very small compared to the tasks you have to complete and the candy, which is the only way to extend it, spawns very rarely if at all, I really cant tell since i havent found a single one nor have i completed the first set of tasks.
there is no audio, which makes it even harder since there is no feedback on finishing tasks, which is a really big deal since they can range from doing 1 thing 3 times to doing 3 things 1 time.
The maker of this game clearly had an idea and the screenshots show unlockable levels, but its not worth to grind something so hard for that.

This game would really benefit from slightly larger time-windows and audio feedback, as well as an improvement of the pick up mechanic, since it doesnt really work whenever you run.

This game is ok but i needed more playtesting, probably an outside opinion as well.

I like the idea of this game and i think it could be a nice, somewhat challenging game to hop on to if you feel like playing an indie platformer with some more development time.

I was gonna write the same thing.
