At times it could get frustrating going through each loop one by one, just to make a little error in execution -- especially with a HOLD check on the jump button instead of a PRESS check, so that every time I touched the floor I'd jump again; all in all though, the level design was the standout for me, amazing job! I didn't manage to get through every puzzle, just given the time I gave myself, but I got to level 13 and everything went smoothly aside from the initial tutorialization of the mechanics. I felt like the connection to the theme was more of a by-product of the mechanic rather than the inspiration for the mechanic, but honestly, it really did work well enough for me to overlook that while playing! :3\n\nCongrats, the both of you! I outta find someone to help me put together my jam games if it means they'll turn out like this. I look forward to seeing what you two make next time, see ya! :beers:","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1008857,"author_name":"Game Dev With Michael","author_uid":"game-dev-with-michael","epoch":1696471523,"text":"Cool concept here.

I agree with everything you said.  I think there probably should have only been 10 levels instead of 15 and that would have been a better fit for the jam. The time loop does probably feel like the main mechanic of the game, rather than the limited space management.

The puzzles were difficult but didn't feel impossible and I had fun trying to figure them out, it made me feel smart lol.
