Nice game! If you explore too much you quickly get stuck or fall out of the world :D. It could be longer but nice concept!

yeah. I forgot some of the colliders.  Thank you very much. I just had 3 days of trying out something new. Was fun :) <3

I love the art, the concept is a lot of fun

Cool game, the world feels fleshed out and detailed which is very impressive for a jam game. It lagged for me a bit in some parts but overall good submission, well done!

Submitted(+1)

wow what a cool world you have created for us all to enjoy! + thanks for leaving feedback on my game, it's my first game and it's cool to get useful feedback from someone who's obviously experienced :)

Insane worldbuilding. Subverted my expectations for what I was about to experience very quickly.

The details in the world made me want to know more about the world and why it was the way it was.

Atmosphere was fantastic and incredibly well done.

I would have liked to see a bit more gameplay, I want to know more about this world that you have created!

Incredible work!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! 
Yeah… the gameplay is quite small. I used the GameJam as a proof of concept and tried out my fancy idea. 
I might work on this more after the jam

Left me wanting more for sure!

Awesome game!
I love the concept/ mechanic of the faulty memory. It can be expanded quite well.

Where you need to turn the valve you can fall out from the map if you go all the way up then right and no way to reset.

The game idea is cool but be mindful when doing puzzles as at the crane you can stuck in the garbage as you running left and it still reversing time. It can be a future puzzle mechanic as well tho.

Gave 5 star to everything expect the artwork as the models was made by a professional studio so i focused on the level design and it gave me a cool fallout vibe.

Developer

Thank you very much !!!

I tried this out as a proof of concept. I might work on it after the jam :) 

And yes...

  • I missed some spots. There is also a problem with the smaller rails.
  • Didnt have the time to create a menu ... but it will have one when I'll work on it more
  • I do like the synty assets a lot :)

Good game! I wish it was longer, but you did right keeping a limited scope for a game jam. The atmosphere was great, I especially loved the use of the fog and the effects when the bridge was falling. Congrats!

Developer

Hey thank you!

I got a little stuck with the mechanic and programming stuff. I also lost almost a full day :D 
But yeah. I'm very happy with the endresult :)

You’ve created an incredibly powerful mood and identity in your game with just a few minutes of gameplay. Huge congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for you kind words

Your game is beautiful and it has a potential to become something bigger!

Developer(+1)

Oh thank you very much ! glad to hear it :)

Extremely well polished visuals with a really nice story! The "back in my day" reference is hilarious and the story itself feels personal and warm. Amazing narrative work.

The puzzle mechanic is at a nice simplicity for a narrative based game and it is really well implemented. One of the puzzles reminded me of a game I saw the trailer a few months ago---an unreleased game called Recur where the mechanics also involve time. However, in just the jam duration(And solo dev!) your game made the memory & time mechanic super well!

Great job!

oh thank you for your kind words. I just woke up and your comment made me smile (: 

Submitted(+1)

Very fun, and the story is prolly the best in the jam

Developer

thank you for your comment ! 🥰

Lovely little story! The audio design is really outstanding, especially how it warps with turning back time! Oh and the amount of worldbuilding you were able to deliver in this short of a timeframe was insane! Please more of it!

Developer

Much love !
