The movement feels good overall. The lack of integrity between some assets is bit immersion breaking for me. Appreciate the control guides. It's nice that the game has a story and dialogue, but I would prefer text appearing in place rather than jumping around the lines. I would consider using a pixel font or some other crispy font to promote the aesthetic.\n\nSadly I got stuck in the pool of water, I'm sure there would've been nice puzzles waiting.\n\nGood job.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":844749,"author_name":"Eager","author_uid":"eager","epoch":1664808746,"text":"@coderaurus, thanks for your feed back.

The map design is quite polished. The assests look truly great. I am keeping that in mind, because it being so polished only helps to notice the small immersion breaking scenery changes. \n2. The fact that you have to reveserse time when the clock reaches 10 is a twist on the time reversal mechanic which is appropriate with the 10 second theme. \n3. The game looks really good, but the dialogue is a bit skeletal, and it stands out. It would greatly improve the experience if you get some more background story until you reach the time reversal mechanic, or have the main charachters say some more interesting things. I would not be writing this if the game didn't look so good. \n4. The puzzles are cool. In fact, some of them are very cool, it is clear that they required some thought to construct, but not everything is appropriately communicated to the player. Sure, I noticed that when the time is reversed the pool's surface becomes solid, and so solved the puzzle, but: \n      i) I could have just as well not noticed it, and while the information is there, it would lead to unnecassary fraustration. The idea that some mechanics are not clear does not fit the overall design of the game IMO. \n     ii) Why would the pool change with the time reversal mechanic? This is not explained in the game. \nAnother issue is one which comes naturally with the time reversal mechanic being forced at 10 sec. It is possible to be soft-locked out of some puzzles. For instance, I got soft-locked in the puzzle immediately after the pool. While it is possible to (rather) quickly nevigate between levels, I had to go through the pool again, which is unnecassary. \n\nOverall great game, I encourege you to work on it more. Capping the time reversal is an interesting mechanic, it might be possible to construct some very interesting puzzles with this cap. Polish the map some more, enhance the writing, and you have a small steam game:) ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":856019,"author_name":"BenTheTwoOfUs","author_uid":"benthetwoofus","epoch":1664890669,"text":"This game reminds me of the game braid made by Jonathan Blow.\n\nThe overall game design and time rewind mechanic are lovely.\nEspecially the map design makes this game a great puzzle platformer.\n\nIf you refine the pixel art and make the fonts and music more suited to the mood of the game, it could be a great commercial game.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":856390,"author_name":"Eager","author_uid":"eager","epoch":1664893012,"text":"@elros Thank you for the long feedback.

The idea is come from the movie Tenet. So what you do in the forward time flow will be reversed did in backward time flow. Yourself is out of the time system. The shadow is just a reference. In the world of backward, water become solid, then you can walk on the water surface.
