You really should create executable file out of your game. Most (if not all) of us are too lazy to go through the trouble of installing different game engines, libraries etc :-/

Thanks for the hint, i think the same, the windows executable is in progress.

A well executed entry. I like your art style and a very cool idea! In terms of feedback I would say you could do with having less difficult platforming on the first level and make it more about the main mechanic. Or maybe you can solve it using that too? Anyway I can see this idea going far!

Thanks! You have no real need to do much plattforming in the first level, as you can use the orb to easily kill the enemies( with rewinding while the orb stands in path of the enemy) maybe i should i make more clear.

Cool idea! I like the graphics too, great game overall!

This is the second entry to remind me of Braid. That aside it is well done. The challenges are difficult enough that you don't breeze through them but are just the right level of difficult. Audio good, graphics good.

@Aaranos I thought someone would mention Braid, haven't i played it though, this game actually is more inspired by the time rewinding feature of "The bridge" and added time rewinding to the puzzle solving problem.

Fun little game, some of puzzles were pretty hard :) Catchy music too. Art style fit well.

Very fitting art, great job.

nice style and interesting gameplay, but a bit too hard

Fun game but the first level was difficult because I didn't fully understand the mechanics at that point. A few levels where you get used to time traversal before dealing with enemies would be good. I enjoyed the gameboy style graphics.

The game put up a good challenge, backed with graphics and audio that suited the game very well. The platforming was kinda frustrating though since the controls seemed to lack this good balance between laser-sharp precision and relaxed, forgiving collisions that are essential for a good platformer.

cbear_wallis 2015-04-21 12:37

Not bad! I like the general mechanics :) I think the player collision boxes were way too big so I kept dying to the enemies on the first level. I couldn't beat the 4th level lol >.< Not bad tho :)

Great art style and the game mechanic perfectly matches the theme. Only problem is the controls: don't put restart directly next to the key for rewind. I restarted accidentally so many times because of that.

Really cool! I'm only up to level 4 but I should probably stop playing while at work...The mechanic (especially the erase from timeline mechanic) is pretty neat. Sometimes I feel like it's pretty tough to do another time shifting platformer mechanic, but I thought yours was really unique, and I liked the partner dynamic. Just goes to show there's always more to explore! Nice job!

Nice work.

josefnpat 2015-04-24 05:05

Really neat idea! I like it and the art! Nice job!

sience 2015-04-24 12:14

Great Idea and nice too see another LÖVE puzzle game. It's hard, but this is good!

oadt 2015-05-03 11:13

Nice Idea and nice game, but a bit tough ;) Maybe add an ring showing the maximum range around the orb to see if you can use it (I know there is a text in the top left corner, but thats not enough :D

GB Graphics and sound so cool! By the way, nice gameplay, idea and level design.

eemmbbeerr 2015-05-03 15:15

Great concept, but rewinded time should be faster. It got boring when I had to wait for the characters to start moving when I rewind time. Too bad! It would be a great game.
In-game instructions are unreadable.
I also liked the way the music turned backward when time was rewinded.

Nice style!

gv1351 2015-05-04 09:34

For some reason the game can't download it gives an error token expired

wayward 2015-05-04 16:18

@gv1351 check your internet connection, works fine for me, or maybe itch.io got a problem

mike-cullingham 2015-05-07 05:24

Very cool puzzle game. I found the difficulty level really hit the sweet spot (for me, at least)... enough to get you to really stop and think, but not so much that you're staring for hours. I'd keep an eye out for this if it was expanded post-compo. Nice job.

dos 2015-05-12 00:17

Great concept, love it! Challenging puzzles. Didn't managed to finish it yet, but will definitely return to it later :)
