Deceptively simple! I love like it starts relatively chill and then keep building up adding more colors.
I really ended up enjoying this one.

This is very cool. I like how you make use or your old self to solve the levels. And the background music is good but great you added a mute option

Wow, very impressed! Like everything about it to be honest. I like how you played with the player's expectations of trying to collect all the coins right away and showing that the order in which you collect them is important. You also have a surprising amount of levels for 48h. Well done!

Nice and simple. Very well polished, platforming is fun and smooth.

I don't like that I don't see how many levels are yet ahead of me.

Maybe you know of [Chronotron](https://www.kongregate.com/games/scarybug/chronotron) back from 2008, it uses similar mechanics you do.

A good mechanics idea (it recall me of another game that I saw recently, but I was not able to find the reference… sorry for that) and some very nice levels. I would have liked more of it.

Nice game mechanic, fells pretty polished and like there's lots of content, sometimes the puzzles felt a little slow, maybe just the speed of the robot could be increased. Overall a great entry!

I think my biggest feedback would be that I think the music loop was a little too short, it started getting slightly grating, but you did put in a mute option so that wasn't too bad. Graphics worked well for a puzzle game. The mechanics and physics felt really good. No glitching on walls or anything that usually plagues these game jam platformers and the rewind mechanic was well used. I really appreciate you putting in that pressing Q can skip the rewind animation. I liked the rewind animation a lot but some of the longer puzzles I didn't want to wait for while I was jumping in a corner for 10 seconds. I think you could have put a visible indicator for Q = Skip to make it a little more obvious though.

Overall great compo, one of the best I've played so far.

Congratulations on putting out a complete and clever game in 48 hours. You don't see a lot of finished projects in a game jam! Good job.

The rewind animation is pretty cool. Love the game concept! At first i thought that this game can't really get difficult, but after a few levels, I really had to think about how to move.

I like the vibrant color, the expression of the robot giving it somehow personality, and the easy to understand use of the theme
