Many thanks for your efforts for your very helpful review, I really appreciate that!

• I am already planning a setup menu including adjustment for mouse sensitivity as this was already desired by other players
• You are right, introduction of game mechanics should be revised.
  My original idea was to introduce them by giving the player more of the power-ups than he needs to be able to explore them. Anyway this approach seems to be somehow confusing in the actual state. The best example is level 7 where you got stuck. In fact you only need one single dice, but I gave the player more to let him test red and white elements to explore that white elements move forward in time while red ones move backward. In consequence white elements can only be moved by the player in normal time and red ones in reverse time, while you can jump on them vice versa.
  Long story short: you only need one dice – either red or white - to complete the level. But because you have two dice, two footballs and many rewind items, you think you have to somehow combine all of them. I think I will try to clarify this by adding short text explanations or the like, because learning by experience comes to its limit here.
• The physics and clipping glitches are an issue I had to deal with during the whole development process. The general problem here results from time reversion. I had to die at least one of a few deaths to solve this and I chose that where elements can enter others and the player. Not really satisfactory I know…
• Passing level 6 without getting the star: you solved it completely as intentioned except that your time reverse clone was out of vision when you got the star. The concept of the element is that you activate the star by hitting the corresponding platform. The activated star can than be either got by you or your clone where only the latter is possible in that specific level because you can not jump high enough to get back yourself.
• There are no cheat codes included in the game but I just put a playlist containing all level solutions on youtube, so if you want to play the later levels you can use it for backup :)
