Nice choice game.

Interesting concept! Could definitely see this going somewhere.

Very nice look and feel! Simple mechanics are easy to jump right into. Graphics and humor are right up my alley.

Great game and great graphics! One of the more interesting games I have played so far.

nice art and atmosphere, felt like a classic unforgiving choose your own adventure book, nice to see multiple endings. great work!

This is super super cool. The split timeline option is really interesting, but got too confusing for me to keep track of, so I ended up playing through the "traditional" way to two victory conditions. Are there more? The actual gameplay is light, but the mood is awesome, and I'm extremely impressed that you managed to condense a point'n'click down to two buttons. The illustrations are great and add a ton of interest. I went back through a second time just to enjoy the art. Also: I laughed pretty much every time a game over screen gave me a choice on which way to die. xD Overall, great submission and very clever.

Pretty interesting I'd have to say. lots of trial and error, but I enjoyed figuring out the puzzles. Good job!

Really cool concept and very well executed. Only potential complaint I have is that split timelines can be difficult to keep in your head, but the fun, almost hectic pace means that you don't have to. Also, helps to put the player in the characters shoes, assuming their also experiencing the split timeline.

I had to read the comments to find out about split timelines (I know it was in the instructions, but somehow I didn't notice it). Good that it wasn't really needed.

Interesting idea and pretty well made.

The splitting timeline mechanic is great! Unfortunately I escaped the first time around, so I had to go back to check out all the ways I could die. But it gets especially fun when you split the timeline.

One thing though. I seem to be able to win by just splitting the timeline constantly. I'm sure this is not intended, because it would trivialize gameplay.

Wow really enjoyed this.
Great idea, nice execution and the art is absolute gorgeous.
Good job!

Great art!

Cool choose your own adventure. Like the somewhat sarcastic choice of your own death. Nice job.

stending 2015-12-22 19:15

Wow, awesome concept, execution, art, music, everything ._.
You're rocking every LD, that's incredible.
One of the best entry for me!

Trippy experiment :) great and original visuals, i was not sure of what i was doing but i panicked , run in circles, panicked then splittime split time split time...
And i won in confusion :)
Great effort with hand made draws and atmosphere !

Interesting idea, although I feel like more could have been done with it. It was hard to tell what the consequences for some actions are... I won once by doing something then heading to the escape pod, and again just by mashing keys. Neat art and style, though.

How interesting a melonjs game here. And it is not a platformer. Finished in about 5 mins. Nice graphics but i liked more the music. Well done!

samh 2015-12-27 01:46

Excellent mood and artwork! A bit short, but interesting enough that I tried several possibilities to win (and lose!) in different ways.

jachepe 2015-12-27 11:42

Interesting idea! maybe need more difficult in the choices

dreyan 2015-12-27 12:06

Love, love, love your art! (: Interesting game, nice use of the theme.

gipzo 2015-12-30 08:07

Nice art and game idea :)

raius 2015-12-31 00:52

This was fantastic, especially the splitting the timeline mechanic.

One of my favourites so far for sure, keep it up guys :)

Pssst - you are featured in today's Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdfLy2MjNRs

That split timeline feature is a really cool idea. Having to control both timelines alternating instead of finishing one after another made it a bit chaotic, but I still like it.
Also liked the art in this one. Still some transitions between screens would have been nice, so that observers also see what choice has been made.

That was one wild ride. I don't go "woah" about LD entries often. Concept aside, it has solid audio design and a visual style that stands out.

Take this to the next level in post-jam development and have the timelines influence each other somehow, that would make for some great puzzles.

lereveur 2016-01-02 00:14

I really like the concept of trying both choices, and go on with two timelines ! Well done !

bering 2016-01-04 02:09

This game is a crazy good way to introduce quantum mechanics and the matter wave nature! Love it! :-)

yuigoto 2016-01-05 01:30

Nice graphics! The concept of splitting the timeline and playing both at the same time is also a great one!

Nice work with audio too! It helps set up some nice mood! :)
