Which path did you choose?
How does your game bring our theme, OUT OF TIME, to life?
The game's main mechanic is that time is a resource, your hp in the game is tied to your age. The more you are hit the more you age and if you are OUT OF TIME you die. The game aesthetic is also a void that is stuck out side of time itself.
What did you do to ensure accessibility of the game?
The game features a tutorial at the start and uses simple controls that carry over between your ages.

Very cool idea for a mechanic, and the game page looks great! I wasn't able to get past the boss at the end unfortunately, since it attacks are pretty fast and the player can't move while attacking
Thank you so much! Yeah, we've had people suggest we slow down the speed of the attacks, so we're gonna work on that. Thanks for playing!
This is actually really nice! I normally do not say this, but the thumbnail did quite a disservice to the game, given how good the pixel art is in the game. The idea is really nice, shifting the age of the player character as a mechanic makes the game feel more like a puzzle platformer, and I am not complaining. The game comes with a boss fight too, which is a nice surprise.

Anyway, this is a really surprisingly good entry. Well done!
This is exactly the type of detailed feedback we were searching for, adding jump with W is a good idea and should be easy to implement. I will also work to make the combat a bit more fair and good feeling.
Thank you!
I thought it was pretty fun and the art was nice. The one issue that I had was sometimes the double jump just did not work. But other than that, pretty good!
If you would like, please try out my game too!
Hi I am glad you found it fun!
I think the double jump problem might come from trying to do it with middle age (which doesn't have any jumping abilities) or young age (who dashes instead), If that the problem I think I'll work to make the game establish the jump difference better, thank you.
And yea I'll be glad to try your game!
Nice idea, forcing to play a different character mid-combat feels too sudden, maybe a big hitpause would help me adapt better with the change.
Nice suggestion, I'll look into giving more invincibility when getting hit by an attack
Very creative, love the idea of aging yourself up, and got very much Celeste vibes. Good job
Thank you so much!
The art direction did take a bit inspiration from celeste :)
