Just perfect! ❤️

I have actually not watched Prison Break so might have missed some nuances but I think I still got the gist of it.

Loved the music and sound effects but there were some crucial missing ones like for shooting. The music renditions were flawless with the off-tune pitch bends etc.

And of course the controls could be improved. Always a good idea to add separate jump button too (space) for people who do not prefer to jump with up. Platforming could be improved with more precise colliders and maybe even having jump buffering and coyote time. The game didn't really require too much precision on the jumping parts so not a big deal but still felt awkward sometimes. The cursor also kept disappearing on me which made aiming a bit difficult.

Accidentally found a bit of skip on the skateboarding section. You can actually drop down there early. Doesn't really save much time or make it easier by any stretch but still a functional skip. Well I guess it wouldn't be that fun to speedrun this game. 🤔

Awesome job! 👍

Well, that was certainly something! I beat the game, but don't ask me why... I haven't watched Prison Break, so all of the references went over my head. But I did play Braid, and you did a good job on the first level trying to parody off of it.

The controls are a bit wonky, I often fell to my death even though the jump should've still triggered on time. And the one-hit-death system gets tiresome pretty quick, so I would suggest to add a health system.

All that aside, this is definitely one of the stranger games in this jam, but it's cool to see how a solo dev managed to switch between multiple game mechanics in each level.

whaouuu after the bear and the salmons, this is the most incredibly stupid game I've tried on the jam and I love it. Bravo because the graphic design is bold and very disgusting but the game responds well... the remake of Sonic's music is perfect... I'm curious to play other games that you have made

Wow, really nice compo game!

An amazing parody of Braid, endowed with unique elements that set it apart! The humor is sharply acidic. While it's somewhat challenging, particularly the skateboard level, persistence pays off, allowing you to complete the game for a satisfying experience. The game maintains a consistent narrative from start to finish, even with its biting humor, making it a complete and very enjoyable gaming experience. Accomplishing all this in less than 48 hours makes it one of those hidden gems that truly deserves more recognition. Spectacular game!

I don't know what I just played, but I'm so glad I played it. I'm listening to the end screen song on repeat (bonus points for letting it play indefinitely). I showed up for the Braid sequel and stuck around for the THPS sequel. Thank you for breathing new life into both franchises.

Great game, really funny. Maybe I'm just bad at video games but the game was too hard, even though I managed to beat it in the end.

I can't believe I get to play the latest magicdweedoo hotness for Ludum Dare!! I've been a big fan since Ticket. I won't let that cloud my judgment, though.

This was the most fun I've had out of any submission this year. The theme was somewhat... Absent... But the audiovisual components were beautiful, in true magicdweedoo fashion. The narrative had real drama and a twist befitting a sequel to Braid. Excellent entry, just the right length too.

Objectively.

This was an experience to say the least. I'm not sure how but you got a lot done within the jam. Or at least it feels like that. The platforming was little janky in places but otherwise the movement was okay.

Great job!

Was this your meta attempt at the theme? Are you trying to SUMMON John Blow to the fucking comments section???

Couldn't finish the skateboarding level because of a difficult jump, but I loved the game and the humor.
