This game is simply the best.

Liked that idea with sound combinations that give you some sort of control over time and space.

Would like to see more levels in the future, harder and without those hints. Think the feeling of eureka moments completing those puzzles should be really exciting.

Developer

We will!

I just wasn't sure if it possible to normally recognise objects with current details level

This was fun! I like the time rewinding/forwarding mechanic. A lot of the time I was confused as to what was happening so I think some more visual feedback when you reverse or forward time would be helpful. Also is there a way to read the scrolls in the house??

Developer

Nope. I scuffed it with a tone of bad code on the final day and just disabled it to will the rest of the game work.

The mechanics are hella fun but a little bit confusing at first. The story is very well thought out and it is generally a good story. It fits with the theme very well literally being out of time. Overall a fun experience!

I want the secret scrolls in the house, I must read them!!

Nice idea! Love the time manipulation mechanics idea, I did encounter a few situations where it seemed like it wasn't reversing or forwarding time, but doing the opposite and then trying to reverse or forward it seemed to work.

Nice one!

Cool concept! Definitely could see this being more than a game jam game if you wanted to take it further!

What a cool mechanic, took me a bit to figure out though.

I agree with everyone on the comments page! The graphics are great. I think you should continue development and polish it.

Cool mechanic! With  a little polish this could be a really fun puzzle game. I loved the detail of the flower dying :)

God, the movement is really slick. It feels incredibly satisfying to play the tunes as well. For a weekend long game, I'm impressed. This is a look into what you can do with such a cool concept. With even more options at the player's disposal, the player will feel super creative with their problem solving.

Nice work!
