Tanya Titor and the Time Twister by NoGrapes

[raw]
made by NoGrapes for LD34 (JAM)
Tanya Titor and the Time Twister is a game about a girl trapped in a “time twister,” a swirling vortex in which time flows at the whim of Chronohotep, the Egyptian God of time. Chronohotep’s minions will sap Tanya’s life force, causing her to grow old, and eventually die, but magical hourglasses turn back the clock and restore her youth, so collect them when you can! Only you can help Tanya fight back and escape from the Time Twister!

Inversely tying the power of the character to his health is quite interesting, and the thening is nice.

Well Done!

Nice art style. Good use of the theme by merging the aging and the "hp". Well done!

I like how you tied the abilities to the health. and the bouncing balls for the baby is a cool touch!

I had a good laugh with this one. Really well presented, with nice music fo follow along. The game is simple yet challenging. Liked also that Tanya has a different power for each age. Last remark: for some reason, the Linux 64 bits binary crashs on Mint Linux 17.2. However, the 32 bits version works well, which is odd.

Great concept and art! It was really fun discovering the different ages of the character and how even her abilities changed.

Wow you made that in 3 days? You guys did a great job. I had a lot of fun playing it, it had a good theme, I wish it told more of an ending story, but other than that I loved the graphics and music, sound effects were a bit loud, but a great game overall! Great job guys.

The theme has been incorporated very well. The mechanic is fun too. As someone mentioned, it would be nice to see an ending as well. But overall, it's nicely done!

I like the mechanics of the game. Changing the characters abilities depending on the health gives you nice possibilities to change your play style dynamically. The main character is also really adorable.

Really cute graphics, though I wish the character had been more animated to provide some feedback. But a really good entry nonetheless.

This game is pretty good! I really enjoy the art and making each stage of life have different attacks was really interesting. Good work!

Hey, I liked this game a loot, the aging/damage mechanic is really nice. This could use some more work after the jam!

Really enjoyed the intro, concept, art, and music. I would love to see more of this game, it's interesting how it feels beneficial being the adult version, so I found myself allowing myself get hurt just to get that extra firepower.

Cool! I enjoyed the writing in the intro scene. Lots of personality. The art was very slick too. It was cool seeing the look of Tanya's different ages and the oddball enemy designs. Music was unexpectedly funky, but I dug it. I like the push/pull of health vs power. This was fun, good work.
