Hmm, it kept crashing right after the Godot splash screen when I tried to move the mouse or click.

Very buggy and difficult to move. I liked the first "puzzle", though.

Huh, strange. I tested it on OS X 10.10.3, and it works fine for me. If anyone else has problems with it, let me know.

Runs fine for me on Linux.
Nice idea, but there were too many instant-death situations with no proper warning or chance to react to anything ... and they always sent me back to the start ...
I guess with a little more work this would be great :)

concept definitely has potential. With a little polish, the idea could really turn into something bigger. Good effort.

interesting concept. I was able to kill the big stick figure and the dinosaur, which felt a but cruel but they were also chasing me haha. I killed myself a lot by going backward and having rocks or tunnel spawn on me - maybe if you could see preview was back used to be as well? nice job!

The bad stickman got stuck into the cave entry where the water flows. I could not send him backward in time. Maybe I waited too long before trying to get rid of him ?
Also, I got a crash ...
... as for not using a beta release of an engine for an LD, seems I got luckier than you since I had no complaint about crashes so far haha
