Otherwise, you guys should rate some games, this is an awesome project! The runtime was indeed a bit padded, but you have implemented interesting base mechanics. I like the modeling work and the detail of the chartacter moving their head towards the mouse. All in all, a very charming project!

I'm going to forget things but:
- T. Y. L. E. R.'s dialogues are so great, I loved the acronyms, the stealing your time thing, and their character design is hilarious, with the motorized monocycle and the little sfx, I can't :rofl:
- The last slime room was so funny :rofl: This kind of jokes makes me feel like the people who made the game have had loads of fun while doing it, so I hope it was the case!
- As said before, the art and music are perfect, I loved the viewpoint, and the light is gorgeous.
- Also great job on the fighting part, the controls are very smooth, the attack delays feel good and well balanced :smiley:
- I will add that I played with my partner (they had the mouse and I moved) so we probably had it easier than it was supposed to be, so I cannot comment on the difficulty :rofl:
- In terms of game design I really found it brilliant that you actually lose a power during the game, I thought it was an interesting reinvention of the "getting stronger" trope!! (and I think it's the first time I see it in a game?)
- The final fight against TYLER... :rofl: "tiny blows of wind"...
Overall thanks a lot for this game, I was clearly the right public for it and I spent amazing 16 minutes and 30 seconds playing :joy: :hearts: :sparkles:
We had such a great time playing your game!!! We were on it for the 16minutes 33sec we played 😜
It gave me a bit of Undertale vibes, with the 8bit ost and the Mettaton-like time entity T.Y.L.E.R
I just loved their personality, I also liked the mechanic of losing a power to increase difficulty very interesting, gj 😊🔮
The 3D is neat, the top down view is really a great choice, and the lights effects are just 🪄🪄🪄
