This is a neat idea and wonderful great graphics! However, I'm not entirely sure I get how to send those projectiles back in time? Got it to happen a few times but it wasn't consistent.

Gorgeous and a good idea for a mechanic regardless. Did I miss something in the dialog?

Nice guitar music! The throwing part was a bit tough to figure out. I liked the atmosphere of the game, and the end.

Nice entry
I liked the fact that you actually explained some of the mechanics with physics haha
Also nice guitar there;
Though, you might want to simplify the dialog a bit cause
I'm afraid I got stuck at the projectiles throwing lol
[Maybe I wasn't too careful about the dialoug]
Graphics are awesome and overall a good one

I'll try to make the throwing mechanics and tutorial level more straightforward. Also I think depending on the framerate the projectile can sometimes go right through the first portal which does not help.

I'll definitely add some more content outside the context of this competition, though. It would be nice to see the mechanics work with more fully realized levels.

And thanks! The graphics turned out pretty good but that's on account of the great Hexels drawing program more than any skill on my part: http://hexraystudios.com/hexels/

Chilling music and nice graphics. But after a while the game froze?

I had to figure out controls myself? What was the whole point of being able to jump? I liked the music though! :)

I nice atmosphere to this game, simple graphics but awesome audio soundtrack to it. I found it humorous as well the the physics-based explanations and the mechanics were interesting, well done!

Not really sure why people like this except for the pretty nice simplistic graphics and guitar solo. I found the game really buggy and the controls weren't explain well. Even at the start I had to smash all the keys in on my keyboard to get it to start.

Nice music and cute art, controls weren't most comfortable to use, though.

Well i was very confused where to throw. It seems you have throw one thing aimed so that it hits all three red things, starting from left to right.

You should spent more time on gameplay and less on the story next time :)
