Nice ideas, design and graphics. Will surely retry it later.

hdon 2013-08-26 14:29

Thanks for specifying "Web Unity," instead of just "Web." I will be able to try it on another system later (no Unity on this one!)

aquilicoco 2013-08-26 14:45

Great game!!

gamexcore 2013-08-26 14:47

I'm amazed, I think this is probably going to end up being one of the best, you need to get this turned into a full game. It has a massive feeling of Portal about it.

pcmccull 2013-08-26 14:56

Awesome game! Feels like Portal with time manipulation.

as3boyan 2013-08-26 15:02

Wow, this one is very good!

carlsommer 2013-08-26 15:09

Great design! This is definitely something you could continue to build off of to create a very neat puzzle game!

zephyr89 2013-08-26 15:15

A very good title, the only problem ... I suck at puzzle games. However one thing I can see is that this is going to go far.The place really has the sense of a place to collect your thoughts and think.

timtipgames 2013-08-26 15:33

Very nice. The time you spent to create the wall texture was definitely worth it :)

intripoon 2013-08-26 15:54

Very good game for 48h!

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-26 15:58

Really astonishing desing! congrats for your game!!

xxweeguyxx 2013-08-26 16:07

Really awesome game! Amazing for 48 hours

3ndo 2013-08-26 16:30

Exceptional. Well done.

zerkruemler 2013-08-26 19:15

Very cool. It is a lot of fun to find out how to solve the puzzles. It is however not so much fun to start from the beginning when you did an failure ate the end of the level. Some kind of checkpoint system would really be nice.

split82 2013-08-26 19:23

Thanks :) You are right. Didn't have time to do that. WIll definitely ad checkpoints in post compo version.

xaychru04 2013-08-26 19:27

Another innovative concept! Very fun to play, the levels are well designed, and the time shifting mechanic is excellent! Remind me of Portal and QUBE...

31eee384 2013-08-26 19:37

Wow, this is great! I wish it were longer. When I was going into the final level, I expected to only get 1/3 of the way to the exit on that platform, and have to freeze it, turn back time, and resume forwards. Or at least some sort of false summit. Alas, the limitations of 48 hours. Thanks for including a mouse sensitivity slider, too, it's usually way too high for me on Unity games.

Fantastic use of the theme. These are my favorite sorts of games, and you did it very well.

split82 2013-08-26 20:22

Oh man! That's awesome idea for that last level :D Going to implement it right now. Thanks!

bradleysmith 2013-08-26 20:41

Really nice music, and highly polished 3D graphics are nice. One of the better looking 3D games I've played. Nice game mechanic with the time too, excellent for 48 hours.

bytegrove 2013-08-26 22:39

Nice and clean graphics, and an interesting use of the theme. Awesome work! :)

immanuela 2013-08-26 22:40

The most unique interpretation of the theme I've seen so far. I really like this idea and hope you continue with it.

andrewshouldice 2013-08-27 01:08

This is a really neat idea. I could totally see this being expanded into a larger experience. Looking forward to the post compo version.

andrewshouldice 2013-08-27 01:13

Oh yeah: for the post compo version, it'd be cool if you had some sort of audio feedback for time moving forward and backwards, especially with a little pitch ramp up/down. (Your music is beautiful though, so you probably wouldn't want to interrupt that.) The third area (World 4?) in Braid had a sort of music-box track that played forwards and backwards when time was moving, and a wonderful "sound of 0-time" rumble when time was stopped.

tacograveyard 2013-08-27 01:26

The music, concept, and execution are really solid. Great work!

glockenspiel 2013-08-27 03:17

pretty cool and challenging. The only thing i dislike is when the player collides with a block you die

ihateatmfees 2013-08-27 03:28

Great job! Graphics look nice and have a good mechanic

kevinzuhn 2013-08-27 04:51

Well that was clever and fun!
I had some trouble on the beginning of level 3, but after coming back a few hours later the solution leapt out at me! It's probably worth exploring what other puzzles could be wrung out of this mechanic!

dom2d 2013-08-27 12:48

Great puzzle design!

ghostik 2013-08-27 12:54

Really nice work man!

torvik88 2013-08-27 13:50

Wonderful game, reminds me of when i played the first Portal. Well done mate :)

snemanden 2013-08-27 15:28

Very Fine game! Challenging and interesting gameplay.

Linux: the mouse sensivity was a bit creazy, and the setting in game did not help out.

split82 2013-08-27 16:02

Thanks for linux feedback. I will probably set the default sensitivity to super low and enlarge the range of the slider.

adventureislands 2013-08-27 19:44

graphics and design! Like mentioned before, it's like Portal but with time manipulation.

Great puzzling, but there should have definitely been checkpoints, it's surprisingly easy to get crushed and having to restart the whole level because of that got very frustrating.

meta87 2013-08-27 19:58

Wow this game blew me away! Awesome concept that fits the theme perfectly, and its really fun. nice work

triplevisiongames 2013-08-27 20:00

Great use of theme and really well implemented. A bit frustrating at times but amazing work for a 48 hour game jam game!

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 21:10

Love it. The puzzles had some very good ideas behind them and I always felt so damn smart solving them. :) Beautiful game. Top drawer indeed!

reverend-speed 2013-08-27 22:15

Beautiful. Simple. Thoughtful. Engaging. Original. Fantastic work, folks, will be back here soon to finish this game. My only criticism is that it could do with a little more personality - some kind of break or reward for solving puzzles. It's hardly a problem for work made in 48 hours, though! Congrats!

Quick question - any chance you could point me towards information on locking and hiding the cursor while in Unity Webplayer?

Again, great work!

split82 2013-08-28 00:36

Thanks :) Locking and hiding cursor http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Screen-lockCursor.html

jglrxavpok 2013-08-28 16:54

Looks like Portal... without the portal gun, and the portals...
Portal-related stuff aside, this game is just beautiful and has a good idea!

dekart 2013-08-28 17:23

Good game, i like it

ratking 2013-08-29 08:31

Interesting art and nice overall execution.

kazukishida 2013-08-29 11:06

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.
This was so amazingly well done to the highest level. Everything from the atmosphere, the ambience, the amazing music, the lighting, texturing, mechanics, controls, feel --- oh my goodness man. This is the best entry I've played so far, and it even bests many of the Jam entries I've seen. Dude. Dude. Man this is just so epic. You have to continue this!

marccspro 2013-08-30 02:47

Best game I have seen for the moment :D

saintheiser 2013-08-31 04:50

Incredible game!
Puzzles are awesome. Theme is well presented =)
Well done, man!

neocrey 2013-08-31 12:01

Wow! Awesome game! Nice graphics and gameplay!

sengi 2013-09-01 12:02

Cross my heart this is fantastic game!

codexus 2013-09-01 12:07

Awesome first person puzzler. I wish there were more levels!

zzforrest 2013-09-01 12:30

Beautiful game, with very interesting mechanics. I love grand piano music in games, and this game took full advantage of it. I love how every level feels grand. My only complaints are that the character and the time mechanic both share an issue with acceleration where they accelerate very slowly for half a second, and speed off faster than you can tell.

xgor 2013-09-01 13:01

Awesome game, Can see this becoming a full blown game with that cool mechanic.
I do feel that the music didn't fit in the atmosphere of the game and that kinda killed the mood for me.

martin_monosys 2013-09-01 13:02

This is very well done, great entry for 48 hours, it's almost incredible.
I just have to ask: Did you buy a license for Unity PRO for this, or did you get those shadows to work some other way?!?

capro 2013-09-01 13:03

Original and very well made. :)

larzan 2013-09-01 13:29

Nice idea with the time control! Good grafix.

klianc09 2013-09-01 13:31

At first I thought, this is gonna be like braid, but it isn't, it's something completely different.
The puzzles were great, although I'm not sure why the last level worked as it did.

moomoo112 2013-09-01 19:39

Great puzzle game, and a nice use of the theme!

jellycakes 2013-09-01 22:02

That was really cool to play. The concept and gameplay was really interesting, it was well polished and I definitely had a good time playing this game. Really nicely done.

sergilazaro 2013-09-02 01:10

So cool, looks amazing and the mechanics are great :)

darkshadow 2013-09-02 19:37

Did it! :D Loved the puzzles, brilliant little game you could do loads of things with the time shift idea, 3D braid why hasn't anyone done it already!?

saschanarr 2013-09-04 04:11

Great concept and execution. Love the clean graphic style and lighting!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-09-05 09:45

Solid puzzler! Nice work with the light. Mechanics lend themselves for a good puzzler too :)

shellfishgames 2013-09-06 10:49

Amazing! Great mechanics, very good presentation. Probably the best game I've played so far.
Sadly I didn't get very far though, since it completely overstrained my laptop. :D But I'll try to play it trough once I'm back at my PC.

katamori 2013-09-06 12:53

Amazing in every aspects! The idea is absolutely original, the fun factor is so high that I can't stop playing (even though it' the type of game that is f*ckin' hard for me), the use of the theme is outstanding, the graphics is magnificent but also moderate, background ambient music is great for its purpose, and the mood is absolute Portal-esque!

The first perfect game between those I've tried so far. Congratulations!

PS.: I can remember you from Twitter when you posted a shot about the first map. I asked that "Unity?", if you can remember too ;P

split82 2013-09-06 18:43

:) thanks a lot. Sure I remember you.

lokarunith 2013-09-06 23:37

First of all, thanks for including an option to adjust mouse sensivity as many unity games make my head hurt because of too much sensivity and this one was fine.

Overall it was very enjoyable, the puzzles were really well designed and the graphics were also quite good. The theme was very well incorporated into the game mechanics making this a great entry.

withoutpillow 2013-09-11 16:04

amazing and innovative puzzles, great graphics, and that gentle music in the background was really good for the atmosphere. good work!

stevecochrane 2013-09-12 02:27

Wow! I don't know how you did this in just 48 hours. Not just impressive from an audio/visual perspective but with well-designed puzzle mechanics too. One of the best LD entries this time, I'd say.

recursor 2013-09-12 21:33

Very nice graphics and game play. The game feels nice and polished, and I really like the piano music in the background.

jacob123 2013-09-16 23:30

Cool game. Liked how much it felt like Portal. Also, congratulations you are the last game I will rate this LD!
