It’s a fun game that makes a good use of the limitation - I enjoy the audio and graphical design quite a bit.

Submitted

I personally have a bit of fun playing it and the restriction is well used.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Decently fun except for starting over 100% every time. The music is rats.

If I ever update the game and add more floors, I might put checkpoints here and there, but for now I felt the game was too short for that. Thank you for the feedback!

also what does "The music is rats." mean?

Submitted

Really cool ideas, trading time for upgrades and downgrades, excellent premise for the limitation. I liked the super lofi look, too. Fun game!

Developer

Thank you so much for the compliments!

I liked how the theme was realized. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

The "time shop" is a really cool concept and even though the visuals aren't the best, it still set the mood. I loved this game!

Thank you so much! I'm not that much of an artist and I wanted this to be a solo project, so I did my best lol. Thank you for the compliments!! :D

I really liked your idea. I was a bit confused at the beginning but got the hang of it after a few tries. Also really liked the music.

Developer

Thanks so much! I'll look into making the game a little more understandable.

Cool use of the limitation indeed. I kept dying in the second level then I realized that you don't have to toggle all the switches to pass through to the next area. I successfully escaped at the end from that thingy (or did I ?) and it was a fun gameplay.

Thanks for the nice comment! Nice job on escaping! (or did you?)

I really liked your use of the limitation! Pretty creative, and it adds a neat twist to the gameplay. The levels were fun, and I feel like the difficulty increased at a reasonable pace.

As other people have said, the shop was confusing to figure out at first (I didn't know I could cycle through by continuing to click on the options. The first time I clicked on something and it took time away, I figured I'd just permanently bought the upgrade and didn't click on any other options) but I picked up on it eventually.

Good stuff

Developer

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I'll try to fix the issues with the shop in a later version, maybe I can rearrange the UI to make it more understandable. Again, thank you so much!

Submitted

This was pretty fun, the first shop at the start was a confusing I didn’t know it was a shop but the 2nd time I got it. good level design, good game balance.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! This is only the game jam version, so I might refine the shop in the future to make it more understandable! Thanks for playing :D

Submitted

Fun game, the rooms felt good to run through and puzzles weren't to intense. I felt the shop was a bit confusing and could be simplified.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing! I'll see if I can improve this in a future update.
