gameplay5 positive mentions

Unique and engaging time-travel mechanic with time clones used for solving puzzles, creating a fun and creative gameplay experience.
Visually appealing pixel art and clean animations, especially the design of the raptor, supported by good, energetic music that complements the gameplay.
Levels escalate in complexity and are well-designed; the game offers satisfying puzzle-solving once the mechanics are learned, making it enjoyable and rewarding.

Lack of save or checkpoint system causes frustration due to repetition when failing, negatively impacting the puzzle-solving experience.
Controls and camera perspective (isometric) can be awkward or confusing, sometimes making navigation and aiming throws unclear.
Audio elements such as music and sound effects could be improved to better match the game's atmosphere and enhance immersion.

The gameplay offers a satisfying and fun experience once the mechanics, particularly the intuitive time manipulation, are mastered. While initially challenging and sometimes repetitive, it provides a solid hook with smooth controls and progressively deeper learning. However, some players wished for more checkpoints to ease progression.
- “You have to learn more each level about the mechanics which is also great, it was very fun although I must say, I wish there were checkpoints at each different section of the level.”
- “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!”
- “It was hard to understand at first but there is a feeling of satisfaction when you learn the mechanics. It was repetitive at points but made up for this by fun and sometimes thrilling gameplay.”
- “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.”
- “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's presented as a top-down/isometric style perspective, and the puzzles and visuals are okay too.”
