At first I was saying "what does not going left have to do with reversed?" but then I hit the mirror and I got it - I liked the mechanic, it fit very well with the theme! Well done, and a good way of introducing the mechanics to the player.
very cool mechanic! great execution too. wish there were more levels
I absolutely like this game! I wish there were more levels, though.
I think there was a small issue at the last level: Even tho I didn't collect all keys I could reach the door and end the game.
But fun nonetheless !
Nice idea with the mirror, cool game. I included it in part 3 of my MiniLD 57 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out. :) http://youtu.be/KU3n8AD-eEk
I love the game. There's only one technical downside: Your game doesn't use timestep for update so it depends on V-Sync to time everything, which sucks on monitors with a high refresh rate(I've a 144 Hz monitor, that's 2.4 times faster than 60 Hz, so the game runs 2.4 times faster, so it becomes really hard to play).
That said, great idea, great gameplay, great story! It's awesome!
Thanks for all your comments!

@CodeNMore Glad you liked the introduction, I knew that it could be a little confusing, so I started with very simple levels, in order to increase the difficulty as the game advanced
@Evergreen Games I had no time to make more, sorry!
@Nari08 that was a bug that missed the deadline, although I tried to solve it in a hacky way just before the upload, but I had no more time!
@Jupiter_Hadley Glad you enjoyed it :)
@joppiesaus At an early stage, I developed it with VSync enabled, but it started to lag a little when I added "pattern images" (such as tiles on the walls), so i finally had to disable it.
If you are brave enough (it's just changing a line), you can compile your own version with VSync enabled, just check the GitHub repo!
Incredible ;) loved the idea
