I like your art style and a very cool idea! In terms of feedback I would say you could do with having less difficult platforming on the first level and make it more about the main mechanic. Or maybe you can solve it using that too? Anyway I can see this idea going far!"},{"author_name":"Wayward","author_uid":"44888","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:36pm","epoch":1429558260,"text":"Thanks! You have no real need to do much plattforming in the first level, as you can use the orb to easily kill the enemies( with rewinding while the orb stands in path of the enemy) maybe i should i make more clear."},{"author_name":"ChuiGum","author_uid":"22408","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:35am","epoch":1429594200,"text":"Cool idea!

I'm only up to level 4 but I should probably stop playing while at work...The mechanic (especially the erase from timeline mechanic) is pretty neat. Sometimes I feel like it's pretty tough to do another time shifting platformer mechanic, but I thought yours was really unique, and I liked the partner dynamic. Just goes to show there's always more to explore!
