-Spoilers-
Awesome game with a great story, but the ending left me wanting more out of it. I was expecting some sort of revelation about the device, but... no. He just hides the machine, we switch over to the son, and a few screens later, that's it. The End. The son doesn't even say anything. What a let down...
Still, the rest of the game was great. Definitely well worth the time.
Sweet! love where it picks up where you leave off. I don't want to do all though levels again until i want to.
I really, really like this game.
Postives:
-I love the concept of this game - there are a lot of games that involve switching between dimensions/times/etc., but this one really, really sells it.
-I like story - it's well told and neither too complex or simplistic.
-The level design is fantastic - it's a real pleasure to play through, and relies far more on puzzle solving and timing than pixel perfect precision and luck.
-Good music and sound effects
-Separate mute button for music and sound effects
-Autosave feature and level map
Negatives:
-First and foremost, some of your medals are broken. I just beat the game, yet I still don't have "Beat the Game," "Two Paths" or "Perfect Timing."
- I find the hitboxes for the enemies can be a bit off - I've gotten snagged several times without actually touching them, which makes the levels where I have to jump over them a real pain.
- Sometimes I can't see the icons for the sound effects and music, and I find that they toggle oddly, especially across loads - sometimes I'll have to click it multiple times to get it to turn off.
All in all, a great game! 4.5/5.
Good game! The graphics are simple but pleasing -the characters models are cool- and the setting is well done. I like how everything has that old sepia tone to it in the "past" form. Music is a little repetitive, but I note that it seems to build as you go through the game. Medals are appreciated.
I really dig the concept, particularly how useful time-switching really was. Other than the agents, who are immune, swapping really does save you from dangers. I love how the technology changes between time zones. In the past, elevators (platforms) don't move yet and the teleporters are only half-built. The high-tech exit doors aren't installed yet. And the robots turning into mop buckets was quite possibly my favorite part of the game. I'm not sure you intended for this to happen, but the buckets seem to be "immoble" forms of the robots, because they still register the character. It was amusing how the buckets turned to face me when I walked by. Was that intentional, or just an oversight?
The only problems I have are things that have been mentioned below. After the first 10 levels I was thinking, "Oh, well, this is really just an interactive story." Thankfully, I hung on until the puzzles really started coming. On that note, the game isn't too tough. For the only levels I really got stuck on, it turned out I was just missing the solution. Once found, they were easy to implement.
The control are mostly solid, but the jumping is a little clunky. The only level that really gave me fits was 30. Unless I solved it wrong, there was quite of jumping over the enemies, and the hero's hit box seems a little wonky. It was difficult to guide him over the obstacles smoothly, and most of the time I got hit, I didn't think I had. 31 drove me a bit crazy, but again, it was easy once I realized that I was setting the level up wrong.
And, as mentioned below, the story never quite goes where the player expects. Again, the concept is very cool, but we're never really given any answers. The only great revelation is how the hat got into the house. It basically just the plot device to kick start the adventure.
Not a big deal, though... I got over it fast. The bottom line is that this is a creative and entertaining puzzle/platformer. Great work!
Yeah, i intentionally made the buckets move left and right. Thanks for playing my game.
Nice game, but can I know why I didn't get the medals of levels 26, 31, 33, 39?! although I beat the game!
no idea. My guess is you lost internet connection and the api stop reporting it. Try reloading the game and select level 39 and beat it real quick. see if that helps. (it should re-report the medals).
