I like the twist where it's you slowed down by the enemies. The way timer is presented was ominous (in a good way).
Fun concept! One thing I would say is that although the timer in the background was really cool, it sometimes made me think it was an obstacle. I'm not sure how you could fix that and keep the same style -- maybe make the timer a different color (gray?) that isn't the same color as the walls. Other than that, the mechanics were fun and the music was enjoyable!
Made it to the end! Really fun concept. The time slow balls you have to dodge is a great twist on a classic platformer. Two very small thoughts: 1) I think the time slow messes with the gravity scale somehow. I noticed when I'm slowed I tend to jump higher, maybe this is on purpose? 2) If you pursue this game further (which you totally could), I'd maybe try to find a different way to do the timer. I felt like the big bubble letters behind the level were a big distracting and I sometimes confused the number as a platform I could jump on. Otherwise, awesome work for such a short time period!
This game is so fun! I like the idea of using slow motion as a handicap rather than as a buff. This definitely has the potential of being turned into a fully fledged game by adding some more levels!
i really liked the art and level design here. great game.
