Hourglass by WooshDUde

Hourglass is a hastily thrown together hodgepodge of ideas where your goal is to make it to the end of each level while constantly navigating the time-shifting architecture of your surroundings.

One last note: I always write down honest review, because everybody need that, not just nice craps with some bullshit, but sometime I will appreciate very good games. So if this review insult you, but use it well :) Anyway every game is counting so :)
I liked the idea of the time shifting, it feels like that titan fall 2 level. The platforming works pretty well, and overall it's pretty fun. I like having the different music for each time period, but the speeding up sounds kind of annoying and in my opinion it could have been cool to have them kind of flow into each other because they are all different versions of the same song. I liked the visual style and graphics, but the effects on top kind of got annoying after a bit, maybe they could be toned down a little.
Could improve:
I think the visual clarity of what is the past and what is the future, and how objects stay in the same place feels confusing and is hard to understand. Also the different ways doors function are not indicated at all. The levels feel unfinished with the platforms made of the same block multiple times, and the levels are confusing. The last two levels I only beat because the boxes fell through walls so idk. The use of the theme of every 10 seconds feels a little underutilized, because most of the time you manually speed up time and the forced time change wasn't very impactful.
Overall, it's pretty fun and I think there's a lot you could do with the concept if you expanded on it.
Either way, great entry, really enjoyed it.
Edit: Also the web build on the LD page isn't working. You might not have renamed your html file to index.html if you've uploaded any bug fixes.
I only wish for non-shader version, 'cuz too much of them for me :)
