The gameplay is initially challenging but becomes satisfying as players learn the mechanics, particularly the innovative time manipulation feature. While some find it repetitive at times, the smooth controls and engaging mechanics provide a fun experience, though players express a desire for more checkpoints throughout levels. Overall, the game successfully utilizes a unique concept that enhances the gameplay experience.
“Once you learn the mechanics, it's satisfying.”
“This game is super fun with a solid gameplay hook!”
“Your character controls pretty smoothly and the main gameplay hook - rewinding and controlling time to commit time heists - is pretty intuitive!”
“The gameplay is mostly simple but will take a few tries before you feel you really have a good idea of how you can use the time traveling efficiently within an area.”
“It was hard to understand at first, but there is a feeling of satisfaction when you learn the mechanics. However, it was repetitive at points.”
“The concept of manipulating time in a game has been disappointingly underutilized as a mechanic by game developers, so when there's a game that tries their hand at it, I am always eager to see it applied in new and fun ways.”

“It would add so much to the experience if there was more of what's on the screen happening in the audio, and the music doesn't add the right kind of atmosphere to the game.”
“There is a bug with the music where its volume kept setting itself back to default at the start of the level or when I restart.”
