I liked the circular level design a lot and I actually think the idea of having to learn your way through a level over and over in a short amount of time is super fun. It's like turning speed running into a mechanic.

I did encounter a bug when I reached the room with the message on the wall where it wouldn't go away, but I just restarted it and it was fine.

Good game!

Very nice game, I think you did the designing a very smart way because repetition and back tracking can get old really fast but having the timer counting down gives a sense of urgency that allow this mechanic to remain fresh. Nice game I liked it a lot!

good game! Nice design! It was fun to play. There was not enough background music, аnything reflecting limited travel time

Nice game! I really liked the concept, and it had an intriguing story. However, I had a bug where after resetting, the key-card in the first room wasn't there, so I had to wait for another reset for it to appear. This was quit annoying, so I only reached the third room, but I'll gladly try it again after you fix it :)

Wooooooo that's a cool idea ! When I understood what I was supposed to do I just started experimenting and running around like crazy... Sadly after a restart I got stuck at the start, the door was closed and the dead guard dialogue was stuck in the "already checked" state so I couldn't get the keycard. But apart from that ? Honestly, it was great.

This had me pretty stumped, I gotta say! I also only made it to the third room. Like ol' Frogman up there, I suspect that your restart doesn't reset the state of everything: I found myself launching the game again and again to get it to work.

I like the circular areas, though, and that guard puzzle is a fun idea!

Pretty cool idea! I liked how you implemented the theme, there's a lot of experimentation going on that I enjoyed. I did run into a bug where the keycard in the first level wouldn't show up again, which prevented me from going further.

I do agree the circular design was really cool. The reset bug slowed me down that I was only able to make it to the third room.

Pretty cool game. Level design was neat. Very difficult though. I couldn't get the door to open whenever it reset me after 27 seconds but it definitely kept me engaged and had a well put together world/story. Good job!
