you can beat the last level without using any of the special colored blocks, other then that it was very nice!

Visuals on this are superb. The music fits great with the shift in levels when the blue cyrstals appear!

I love how crazy the movement can get when the reflection gets out of sync. I was kinda confused on how to continue after a while though, and got stuck

So many juicy little things you thought of! Super nice game, looking very polished.

The SFX and Music sound nice and calming. I really like the idea of the game, i think it's pretty interesting. I can see that you polished this game very nicely. I like that you added in some other simpler mechanics like time warping or shifting graviry

But, i don't really know how this relates the the theme.


Good job!

Ohh the sfx and game feel are nice! Interesting concept too. The puzzles were a bit too hard for me to grasp tho maybe i just don't understand how it works

I've seen similar games before, but it's a pretty original version due to time warp mechanic. Nice and simple visuals. However I think it's quite a stretch to say that this is a game about collaboration with AI.

This is FANTASTIC! So polished and fun game <3 Love it :) You could easily make this into a standalone puzzler <3

A bit of an interesting take on a puzzle game, it has some interesting execution with the time mechanics combined with the mirror and gravity bits.  Though not the craziest, it was definitely a fun experience.

Though I will say I don't see how this fits the theme of collaborate with AI.  Since obviously it's literally jsut an alternate you through the mirror, not an AI or anything.  It doesn't really feel like I'm collaborating with anything that isn't a human, that doesn't mean I discount the puzzle challenged by the mirror existing.  It definitely is interesting throughout, but it's not an AI for sure.

There's definitely some interesting twists as I said though which was fun to play through in the levels and definitely a mix up of the normal mirror puzzle games that you see quite a lot.  Especially the fact that there is a preview of what will happen when it's used is definitely a nice QoL feature.


Overall though an interesting puzzle game idea, not too much of a theme mechanic or anything but a really good game overall.

Wow, this game is great! I already thought it was cool to use your reflection in the puzzles, but the time mechanic added a ton of depth on top of that and really made this one stand out. Fantastic work!

This game is awesome! The puzzles are fun to play, and the solutions are always very satisfying. 10/10 game please make a full release!

This is a really cool idea and is executed well! I had a hard time wrapping my head around the mechanics, but reading the description helped me understand it a little more. The graphics are simple but very polished and nice to look at, and the controls feel great.

Every time I pick up a blue crystal the screen goes black for a second, which makes it harder to understand what's going on, but from looking at the second screenshot I think that might be a glitch?

Either way, very cool and enjoyable game!

Ah sorry that was a glitch for you! Must be one of the camera effects causing the black screen. However glad the description was able to clarify what was happening.
