I get the following error, when trying to run the windows executable: "There should be 'UnconventionalTime_Data'
folder next to the executable"

You didn't export the game properly, you can't just have the unity EXE as the file you need that _data file, so it isn't playable right now my friend

I think you're missing something with your entry. I'm getting a "Data folder not found" error, and the web player isn't working either. =(

Whoops, my fault, made a mistake in what I uploaded. New builds coming up, check back soon!

Nice job on the game. It's very unique and fun to play.

Actually quite clever! Some great conceptual stuff in there. Felt a little bit padded because the trees took a bit too long to [interact with] but I can see this concept going further!

Wow, this game is really nice. Great application of the theme, very nice usage of the mechanic in surprising ways. I especially like the solution to the arrows - the first time I thought it was to bubble yourself with slow to repel, but they snuck through anyhow. Then speed on yourself - great idea. Well done!

I like the concept :D The puzzles feel very nice. The only thing i didn't like is the trees, they are too slow to ungrow... The lasers,arrows, and turrets are very nice tough :D

Keep the good work!

Good idea, it was a bit hard to use on an AZERTY keyboard though, but still playable enough to have fun.

occamsrazor 2015-04-20 03:07

New builds are up now, so hopefully Windows build will work now!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah...the trees might be too slow, no real reason for them to be that way.

@ErikU - that was one of my favourite puzzles :) You can sneak through by slowing time, but speeding up yourself is much easier :)

Yay, I got the diamond. Fun game, very clever mechanic for using time. Fun game, I really enjoyed it :)

thecodermonkey 2015-04-20 20:57

Great! Really loved the idea of messing with time in a controlled area. Would have loved to have seen more things that used the time going forward, as pretty much everything was just reversing time.

officialcodenmore 2015-04-20 20:57

I like the idea of time, and I like how it only affects where the cursor is. It is a bit tedious to fire the bullets back at the thingys, but it was a good idea nonetheless!

dustoutgames 2015-04-20 20:58

I liked the music and it was a fun and challenging game! The use of time as an unconventional weapon was neat, and defeating the enemies with time was clever!

alexdjones 2015-04-20 21:00

Clever mechanic, reasonably well executed with some neat puzzles. Nice entry!

dungeonation 2015-04-20 21:04

Very interesting concept! Using time to manipulate your world? Nice job.

jordyadan 2015-04-20 21:04

Grat game, unique mechanics and intuitive gameplay.

scorder 2015-04-20 21:06

Nicely executed.
I foolishly tried to accelerate the trees so that they died, but they did not want to.
The difficulty is good, I did die a few times, but thanks to your checkpoints, that was not frustrating.

Good job!

occamsrazor 2015-04-20 22:02

Thanks everyone! I'm glad people are enjoying it, its great to hear! Ya, the 'combat' is a little slow, but that ended up being almost a product of the mechanics.

@Scorder That.....that would have been a great idea. Probably something I should have done, if my sleep deprived and over-caffeinated brain thought of that.

infernobomb 2015-04-21 02:28

It is a very original idea, and I enjoyed it. Although, I have to say, that soundtrack is kind of repetitive, and I jumped every time I rusted the iron door :P . Overall it is entertaining, and unique

beege 2015-04-21 19:14

Nice idea and use of the theme. I'd have liked it if you could have made the trees grow older and die as well as younger and smaller as my first intuition was to make them older and die. Overall fun little game :-)

nonentheless 2015-04-22 21:20

Nice idea :)

dreadzilla 2015-04-26 17:45

Nice game. I liked it a lot!

superusernameman 2015-04-26 17:48

Nice game and ideas !
I gave up at the crossing lasers with the 4 tanks.

zinhet 2015-04-26 17:53

Really neat game. One thing I noticed was that bullets would still hit you even if you were placed back on a previous map.

kloudrazor 2015-04-26 18:34

Awesome concept, although the collisions were a bit clunky and the aging of trees could have been speed up a little ;)

shivur 2015-04-28 03:54

Very good concept! The only things are that the puzzles are a little bit repetitives and the forward time mechanic is underused.

pixzleone 2015-05-11 14:27

Cool but hard! Great effort!
