I have to admit, I'm rather enjoying this one! The sounds are really well done, and I think the game is quite a fun challenge. It would be nice if there were save points, though, as even though I tend to die within a minute or two it can be rather dull to replay from the start.

Props for having sound effects and atmosphere track! Otherwise this was pretty frustrating. I had no idea how large player character's hitbox was and kept hitting brambles and spikes even when making a simple jump. Checkpoints would have helped.
There was no feeling of speed. The player was slowed down by every bramble or spike. I second the suggestion for save points.
Move checkpoints would have been good. If the terminal that says "get out" was a checkpoint, I might have tried again to do so. As it is though, the feeling of motion needs more momentum; weight.
The game was pretty difficult. It was a fun mechanic with the stopping of time, but the levels didn't have a lot of interesting obstacles to use it with.
Maybe there are different artifacts and obstacles later on, but I couldn't really get far. Checkpoints would help tremendously and maybe have some other dangers like rockets chasing you or moving enemies which you can freeze and such.
Time manipulation is a good mechanic, despite my inability to time those spears and constantly jumping into them. :) II agree on the checkpoints. Nice background noise.
I really liked the UI for this one! Overall, the gameplay was pretty interesting. The time mechanic was pretty unique, though I do think it could have a longer use time (or maybe I was just bad at getting the things timed just right). The whole story is pretty interesting as well - nice job!
Congrats for the work.
Sadly, I can't finish the level.. I found the artifact an stopped the time. That's cool.
I finished the game, and it was okay.
More checkpoints could cetainly help other people. Also in-game explanations of the game keys would be better (instead writing them in the instructions).
I like how that artifact works but ultimately it only worked on one specific kind of things so you can expand it with other things in a newer version of the game.
