Is very frustrating not knowing which key to press. But hey, it was fun bang the keyboard.
PD: You owe me a new keyboard >:(.
Took me a bit to learn the mechanics. Very original and the graphics are beautiful. Good job! :)
Great game! Love it! Wonderful use of the whole minimalism. Reminds me of that one game that you'd run and minimize to the tray and it'd just do its own thing. Good job!
AWESOME ! Graphics are great and the gameplay is really ... well, you'll see. Good job
Beautiful graphics and fitting sound. Not fun to play at all, because it's so frustrating.
I'm really intrigued by this game - hoping I remember to try it when I get back to my PC. The art is great.
I guess I lost, from what I can tell it behaves randomly and I really don't have several hours of waiting for it to get the right sequence of jumps. As an artistic statement it's fine, as a game it's not very fun.
The graphics are really nice :)
But how do you play it!?
It has something to do with the time I'm sure, too bad I just couldn't figure it out :(
Wow, that wasn't fun :) Original though, nice graphics, didn't understand the ending, but, oh well.
I BEAT IT! HILARIOUS ENDING! HAHA!
Genius gameplay, nice graphics, perfect use of theme... Very awesome!
For those that are stuck... you CAN control it. It's not a random chance sort of thing.
Is there any way to reset it? I'd like to play again to show someone else :)
Haven't managed to beat it yet, though I did figure out the trick to it.
The method of control took me too long to use effectively in game, as hazards were simply too close together for me to have a second jump ready. I wound up getting frustrated/impatient and quit. Maybe there's an easier way, or maybe my computer isn't set up right for it.
Either way, it's the most interesting idea I've seen so far, and I hope to beat it later.
Absolutely hilarious game mechanic, very innovative and followed the theme. Unfortunately, the game was not fun to play, difficult to control, and had little to no audio. Nice job with the graphics and mood, though!
Interesting idea. Super frustrating. Graphics are very pretty. Not very fun, but an interesting idea.
Funny idea but controlling the game seems rather difficult and prone to break my other software, so I couldn’t go past the first screen. Nice graphics. (Tried under Wine/Linux.)
Wait, is this actually Windows only? It looks like just a flash projector.
Best use of theme and sub-theme.
One could even say it's a puzzle game as you have to figure out how to make it work.
Well. At least I can give 5/5 in Innovation to this game :) And graphics is really cool. And yeah.. Humor 5/5 also :)
Interesting (lack of) controls. I like how the game is a puzzle just by itself, it took me a while to figure it out.
Well, I can say that the control scheme is as minimalistic as it gets, although a bit frustrating at times because it seems we can't get the character to do what we want ;). Loved the large pixel graphics, very stylish.
How can I re-play it? I finished it once and wanted to show it to someone else, but I wasn't able to find a "New game"-thingy.
Great work btw!
This game is very intriguing. Absolutely loved the controls, even though I couldn't really play it properly (too much of a hassle).
Quite hilarious and innovative!
Was a pretty interesting game to play, shame my system clock got beat as a result of winning. Oh well, nice job anyway.
OMG, I love it. It reminds me of my favorite episode of MacGyver ("Hell Week") and it was a joy to figure out.
Really cute and enticing. Wish I could figure a quicker way to change my system's time.
I WON! Gorgeous pixel art and very clever theme. Wish I hadn't read the comments first since they spoiled figuring out the basic mechanic.
Nice ending screen, but I have no idea of what time it is now... :)
Ah ah ah, excellent twist on the theme :)
SPOILER WARNING !!
I really hated you on the double jump sequence.
Oh my goodness, I actually did it.
Devious game mechanic!
I think I might have to carve off a point for minimalism for having one of the most roundabout methods of victory ever, but I might have to add it back on again for not technically existing "within the game"
Very nice work (and the graphics are beautifully done!
High scores ahead!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Looks beautiful !!!
