Most Game Jam games get played for a maximum time for 10 min, I will play a game till I get frustrated. When the game crashed the first time I was getting upset at the game. So I wanted to end it there so the negative feelings of being upset wouldn't interfere with the rating of the game. I had died 3 times and did not no what I did wrong.
I replayed it for 20 min off stream here is my final results. The no sound other then the sound of the flashing lights was not fantastic and a bit jarring this could be improved on in future games. There is no clear indication that someone is talking except for the on screen words. Having a sound bite when the words appear on screen can really help with knowing when I need to know when to pay attention to the words. when the text came up with the how to use the "R" Function it went by too fast and I had to die to reread it. Maybe add a transition screen so it pauses the game when it explains the functionality of the abilities. Also I think it would go well to try to have a screen pop up that says "You will die if you don't stay in the light." this way it won't be confusing.
When I did make a mistake by jumping too much to the left I tried to rewind but because I could not catch the light and the lack of light killed me. The movement is too much I have too much jump for the amount I need and I often overshot the platforms. When I died the game gave me some messages on the bottom "to use R to rewind," or to "keep coming to the light," or "you can do it just one more time." Since the games doesn't allow for any extra wiggle room on the light I kept dying and I felt like I was being punished because I was using the ability.

The world devoid of color, it is your job to spread some color around. In fact that is the only way to get around.

I got stuck at the red light. I tried looking around me but saw nothing, I tried going around the light still nothing, I then tried to left click, press e, f, right click, but still no indicator what to do. I then tried to see if OP had any controls on their page but they had not. It would be nice to know what buttons to use to make this game work.
