Ok. That was really pretty fun, the first time I played it I had the problem of the spawn ghost slowly sinking (I didn't even know I could make new ones until after I was trapped in the ground). I was kind of sad to see the game end so quickly just as I was really getting into it. I hope you expand this out from the jam version, I think there is quite a bit you could do with it. Great job!

Short adventure platformer about dude who can manipulate objects in space-time.
Jump and run through beautiful landscape filled with puzzles that only the power of rewinding objects can solve.
Controls:
WASD = Movement
Space = Jump
Mouse left = get control and rewind target
R = Rewind target
Q = Release target
F = Drop checkpoint
ESC = pause menu.
Rewinding means that if for example object drops, you can get control of it and restore it back to it's original place before dropping. While object is in control it's frozen and can be walked upon.
You can control only one object at a time.
Sometimes it takes long time before object starts rewinding, it usually means it has some "micro movements" in it's time history, just be patient, It'll rewind eventually
I made this originally last fall for Brackeys game jam 2020.2 and have since swatted few bugs and made some improvements. Hope you like it.
Known bugs:
Sloped ground is hard to move, character gets kinda stuck and can't climb it easily without jumping
End game menu doesn't work.

Thanks.
LionsNotice reported spawn ghost bug earlier and it should be fixed now, atleast I haven't been able to reproduce the problem anymore. hit me up with PM if the problem persist, I like to swat bugs, whenever I find them.
cool game, with a nice concept, it would be awesome if it was a bit longer

Thanks.
This is pretty much how long I was able to originally make the game, I do have plans to make new levels and introduce new game mechanics in the future.
i really like this ! didn't play too much though as i had died at one area and my checkpoint had spawned me back into the floor instead of on top of it. pretty fun little game though !
edit: im completely unsure how to continue replies to comments as i'm still new to the site, but i was unable to jump out from where i was under the ground, but the characters head was still visible. there was basically no way of getting free. definitely sounds like a good idea though to have that mana system though! :]
Arakjin responds:
Thanks for your comment
Did you spawn inside / under floor or what do you mean by spawning into the floor?
Checkpoint system is kinda buggy still, it works best on flat ground and if the checkpoint falls through floor it's not working correctly. I certainly have to fix it for next iteration (I was thinking some mana system so you couldn't spam checkpoint all the time).
EDIT: I managed to replicate problem, I'll look into it later.
EDITEDIT: I think I managed to fix the problem.
mk cool
