Great level design that really makes you think about how to clear it.

All the effects (shoot, rewind) are really snappy and well done. Superb puzzles, and the artwork is quite nice. Even though its a jam game, but the difficulty spike is a bit steep, and the number of mechanics introduced without tutorials took some trial and error to figure out - in general I think there were just too many variables (where will I respawn after looping, where will the enemy clones respawn, which direction will they move, etc) to really strategize and puzzle solve, and I just ended up solving the hard room a bit on accident. That said, all the mechanics (other than the pufferfish) have great synergy and I can easily imagine this being a full puzzle platformer. There really should be a button to cancel your shoot if you accidentally start aiming, and the platforming is a bit too precise for a puzzle game.

Pretty slick! Could definitely use some more ramping on the level difficulty, does seem to go zero to hundred a bit 😅I wish there were more reason to do those sick jumping trick shots! All in all, very solid entry. Thanks for sharing on stream!

Fun and unique twist on the looping lives mechanic

The restart button didn't seem to work on web
Other than that, the trajectory line seems a bit imprecise. There were quite a few times where the preview looked like I lined up the perfect shot, only to collide w/ a wall in way that didn't match what was projected

Really cool idea, with some good puzzles that got me thinking quite a bit! If I had to give a point of improvement, though, I think the precision required to make some of the jumps is a bit too high - the last level, in particular, took me many attempts to actually beat once I’d figured out the solution, because it was a bit too easy to accidentally fling myself into harm’s way.

That said, this is a really solid idea for a puzzle game, and I’d loved to see it tweaked and refined with more mechanics! Good stuff overall.

The art is really cool! The game also feels so polished. Some of the puzzles are pretty tricky, I enjoyed it a lot!

Hey, I decided to come play your game because you left a nice comment on my game. I think you have a really solid idea here, and I would actually love to see it be fleshed out into something bigger! This is totally the type of thing I would play on a website like Coolmathgames or even buy on Steam. The art style is strikingly good. I haven't played many other submissions, and this one is pretty unique as far as I know. I'm really impressed with how far you got during this game jam. Can I ask what you used to make this ?

Amazing Game! The puzzles were quite challenging, but still fun. Great Job.

at first i didnt knew this is so satisfying until i freshed left shift LOL THAT GUY CAME SPITTING OUT HIMSELF WHAT THE HECK I SAID WITH THE JUICY SOUND it made my ears tingly Thank you for making this game AWESOME GAME!

It's really satisfying when you figure out the answer, but it's pretty hard to get to that point. Lvl 4 has me completely stumped, to be honest! I think this would have really benefitted from just a couple of easier levels to get the hang of the puzzle concepts. I think the art is wonderful but the gameplay would have been just as fun with simpler art, which may have given you a bit more time to allocate to level design.

Great job, guys!

Spynder makes an interesting point about mixing the two genres. I think the GOAT Mark Brown went through something similar when working on MOM. However if your going to experiment this works. Also as long as you can complete a level either way it might really work.  I spent minutes trying to restart like others apparently. Needs more cues and visual feedback. I think you can do a lot with this concept. A little hard for a jam though (for me) so didn't put in as much time as I would like. Worth adding to my future play list though. Just started getting the hang of it. The low key art style and audio is super nice

The puzzles are hard, that's a good side of the game. The other side is, I'm not sure if it's my personal irk or just it is like that in general, I don't feel like puzzles and platformers (with timings as close as this) really go together. I did manage to beat the full game (is there a reason to collect time crystal if the end is in the other direction?), but as the time went on, it started being less of a puzzle game and more of a rage platformer.

As the other comment said as well, there are some issues, like being unable to cancel a shooting action, or shooting line prediction being unreliable in tight spaces, but overall it wasn't that bad.

In the last level, I had to spawn an enemy moving left, and wait for like half a minute for it to reach the red button at the bottom so that I could open the red door. After that there was a whole section I had to go through with floating blue spikes, which made it easy to die and then I had to reset all over again, wasting a lot of time in that place.

TLDR: The puzzle aspect of the game is nice, with some polish (add canceling and fix prediction) it would be even better, but it seems that platformers + puzzles are just not my cup of tea. Still, a very good submission to the jam!

i love the art and sound!! i would really like a longer version with new mutations but still a fun game as is :-)

The art and presentation was super cute, seeing the little anglerfish(?) guy turn into different creatures and/or bouncy slimes after shooting was fun every time. I also loved the little touches of growth appearing when you looped back time, giving the sense that you were really speeding through time.

With that said, I'm sad to say I didn't really enjoy the game. I'm not big into puzzle platformers in general, so I'll write any issues I might have had with the puzzles down to skill issue on my part. My issue lies more with the controls and the feedback the game gives me. Not being able to cancel out of the Shoot-function after I pressed Shift to find a better angle, combined with the aiming line being dodgy on where you'll actually land (I assume because the hitbox of the character is bigger than the hitbox of the aiming-line?) meant I had to reset so many times because I missed a jump I thought I could pull off when I committed to pressing Shift, even after I had already figured out the puzzle. Ultimately I quit on level 4 simply because I was getting too frustrated.

Luckily, these issues shouldn't be too difficult to iron out, and if you do then in my non-puzzle-platformer-enjoying opinion, I'd say you would have a solidly good puzzle platformer on your hands.

Very fun game, the main mechanic is very interesting and gives room to interesting level design. Although I might’ve been a bit too slow to get how to solve some puzzles

I like that when traveling back in time some things seem to get broken as well, overall it’s very well done, artwork and animations looking great as well. At first I thought the restart button didn’t work, until I realized I had to hold it down 🤦

Great work, it almost feels like a complete game! The artwork, world-building, and level design are all top-notch. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed

This seems like a cool game with a neat mechanic, but unfortunately I could barely get past the first level due to a bunch of input bugs and then the game just completely becoming unresponsive :(
